Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Hope & Faith is worth clearing space for. The jokes in Hope & Faith land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Hope, a down-to-earth, happily married mother of three has her tidy world turned upside down when her celebrity sister moves in. Faith was living the Hollywood life as a soap opera star before her character was killed off. Between them, Faith Ford and Kelly Ripa carry the comedy without ever forcing it. The series ran for 3 seasons (2003–2006), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. Hope & Faith earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Hope & Faith. What I Like About You is the obvious comparison, but Hope & Faith earns its own place alongside it. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Faith Ford sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Hope & Faith wrapped up in 2006, created by Joanna Johnson — and 3 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
