At least this has a high RT score of 80%, but the rating on this site is far too low in my eyes. Once you get pass the visuals, the show is a fun treat.
I understand that the character designs are ugly, but you should never judge a book by its cover. You can still tell a good story with mediocre visuals. For example, Bojack Horseman has ugly animation, and yet it's one of the best cartoons of the 2010s, and one of the most acclaimed and successful at that. Even ignoring the designs, the animation itself is pretty fluid.
Speaking of the character designs, let's talk about the characters themselves. They're stereotypical, but they have a lot of charm to them (much like the characters in "The Loud House"). Wayne is probably one of the best ones - he knows he can't live up to his girlfriend's former husband, and yet still tries his best to be a good father figure to Violet. Everyone can have a character to relate to.
The voice acting is spectacular and provides a lot of energy to the show, especially Maya Rudolph as Betty. The plot in the pilot episode that aired on September 29, 2019 wasn't the strongest, but it wasn't anything too terrible. It was heartwarming though, and had some pretty funny gags.
The most infamous part of the show though, aside from the character designs, has to be its depictions of many things, such as the south and Jesus. Jesus Christ is shown to like drinking beer, but come on reviewers, Christianity has been lampooned in adult cartoons forever, this isn't anything new. Also, Jesus is shown to give good advice to Jenny, so he also has some positive traits. Speaking as someone who lives in the south (North Carolina to be exact, which is the most 'Northern' of the southern states and is where the show takes place), I'm not offended at all. The same people who get overly offended by the show's depiction of the south are the exact same people who complain that 'lEfTiStS gEt oFfEnDeD bY eVeRyThInG'. Everyone gets offended by something, stop acting like you have a tough skin when you don't, review section.
Bless The Harts is looking to be a fun, heartwarming sitcom and, if FOX gives it a chance, the next big hit since The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Bob's Burgers. Please support the show. We need it to be a hit like those 3 shows I mentioned, and for it to still be around by February 2020.
