Raising Hope
March 13, 2012  | By David Bianculli  | 151 comments

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
Last month, it was the PBS Nature series that devoted an entire episode to raccoons that have taken to invading neighborhoods and individual homes. Tonight, it’s time for Raising Hope, with a plot about a raccoon that’s taken up residence under the house, to take a stab at it. And speaking of taking a stab at it – if I had merely murdered, instead of hired someone to catch and release, the three dozen raccoons who have invaded my home the past five years, my upcoming European vacation would be paid for. And I’d also have the profit from 35 brand new, Davy Crockett-style coonskin caps. (I’d have to keep one for myself.) But don’t worry, animal lovers. All the raccoons that broke into my house are now free. It’s finding them new homes that was expensive.
