The pilot's accumulation of cute - oh, for the straightforward simplicity of bowling alley lawyer "Ed" - feels overbearing long before Kelley's courtroom summation turns societal sermon.Posted Jan 17, 2011 -

This show lurches along, all its sitcom puzzle pieces laid out without being assembled into even a Hollywood picture of life.- Posted Jan 18, 2011

Producers clearly encourage some to-the-camera carping, but the overriding emotional tone is one of bonding and growth. And respect. In a reality competition!- Posted Feb 22, 2011

Though American tastes are mocked here, too, laughing at your own group doesn't necessarily excuse laughing at others. -

Don't believe the critics who tell you "Hidden Palms" stinks after they watched only the first episode.... This is a seriously involving serious show. A show about something. -

Russian Dolls is so busily edited--is any shot longer than 3 seconds?--that there's no flavor of anything.- Posted Aug 11, 2011

Its rambling storytelling starts to reveal distinct shape in these people, their relationships and the show's quirky comic perspective [in the second episode].- Posted Jan 19, 2011

The Save Me pilot saves itself artistically. But debuting in a summertime double dose makes series salvation improbable.- Posted May 21, 2013

I did catch enough of "Hart of Dixie" to tell it's formula absurdity for the "princess" demographic of magical thinkers who now imagine being lifesaving doctors as well as rescued royals.- Posted Sep 26, 2011

Surface fashion styling can't cloak the underlying framework of yet another CBS procedural.- Posted Sep 27, 2012

While it's nice to see a show that isn't cops/docs/lawyers, it'd be nicer if the show was better. -

The whole project feels salaciously sleazy, unless you're enjoying the proceedings, in which case it's juicily depraved. -

No, it's not exactly "House." But it isn't like any other show, either, with its mad mix of moral dilemmas, medical crises, family ties, double-life-living and, y'know, rubouts 'n' stuff.- Posted Sep 14, 2012

Any smart girl would also wish for humor at a higher level than slapstick broccoli on the eyeball or a 12-year- old boy drooling, "You're kinda easy on the peepers." [20 Sept 2002]Posted Feb 24, 2013 -

While The Neighbors sketches something genuinely creative--and truly weird--its comedy doesn't really come together.- Posted Sep 24, 2012

Malibu Country is nothing great. But its studio-shot sitcom style sure suits Reba.- Posted Oct 30, 2012

This show is slickly packaged and unchallengingly trite in its slavish reality-show construction. -

The plastic "punch lines" grow more contrived. The tired stereotypes feel more offensive.- Posted Sep 21, 2012
