    • Metascore: 50
    • Rob Owen 20
    Another single-camera comedy that fails to provide any laughs.
    • Metascore: 58
    • Rob Owen 30
    Aggressively dumb, sex-obsessed and occasionally misogynistic.
    • Metascore: 28
    • Rob Owen 10
    Besides being uninspired, "Rules" isn't all that funny.
    • Metascore: 33
    • Rob Owen 30
    It appears Freddie Prinze Jr. studied at the Matt LeBlanc School of Acting given his mumbling performance and nice-guy-cum-neanderthal portrayal of Freddie Moreno.
    • Metascore: 56
    • Rob Owen 30
    Missing is like a bad Lifetime movie blown up into a weekly series.
    • Metascore: 55
    • Rob Owen 30
    Dresden's investigations amount to a lot of ho-hum hokum... and his relationships are largely paint-by-number bland.
    • Metascore: 53
    • Rob Owen 30
    "Out of Practice" relies on trite misunderstandings and crude dialogue, both go-to gags for uninspired sitcom scribes.
    • Metascore: 54
    • Rob Owen 30
    For anyone who's seen the "Spider-Man" films (or even the last, worst season of NBC's "Heroes"), there's little to recommend about this new series that has its bloated, two-hour debut.
    • Metascore: 54
    • Rob Owen 30
    Writers Steven Long Mitchell and Craig W. Van Sickle are certainly inventive, if inventive can mean willing-to-crib-from-sci-fi-culture-past, but the Tin Man story doesn't hang together well.
    • Metascore: 53
    • Rob Owen 30
    "Just Legal" is just tedious.
    • Metascore: 53
    • Rob Owen 20
    Utterly unpleasant and unfunny, Fox's dispiriting Sons of Tucson may be the worst comedy series of a generally winning 2009-10 TV season.
    • Metascore: 52
    • Rob Owen 30
    The miniseries asks a lot of patience on the part of viewers and gives too little in return.
    • Metascore: 51
    • Rob Owen 10
    This comedy is just not funny.
    • Metascore: 51
    • Rob Owen 30
    "Vanished" is a show that should leave viewers begging for more, but instead engenders more of a shrug because nothing in the pilot is convincing -- not the characters, not the setting, not the performances.
    • Metascore: 50
    • Rob Owen 30
    The Eastwick characters are fairly generic types who are too bland and predictable to be involving.
    • Metascore: 50
    • Rob Owen 30
    [A] silly, unnecessary reboot.
    • Metascore: 49
    • Rob Owen 30
    It's a shame that the writing makes Off the Map so unwatchable.
    • Metascore: 49
    • Rob Owen 30
    It's a silly time-waster with terrible commentary by hosts Jamie Kennedy and Jessi Cruickshank.
    • Metascore: 48
    • Rob Owen 30
    A mere wisp of a show, so lighter than air that it threatens to float away at any moment.
    • Metascore: 48
    • Rob Owen 30
    Love in the Wild is undeniably a waste of time and brain cells.
    • Metascore: 48
    • Rob Owen 30
    It’s got a worthy premise that’s larded up with unfunny, over-the-top characterizations.
    • Metascore: 47
    • Rob Owen 30
    Bag of Bones rarely scares but frequently induces unintentional giggles.
    • Metascore: 46
    • Rob Owen 20
    The pilot episode jumps all over the place without establishing characters or their relationships.... [A] failure to connect the dots is a common problem for Hemlock Grove.
    • Metascore: 46
    • Rob Owen 30
    Other than re-living some of Napoleon's favorite catchphrases from the 2004 movie, there's not much enjoyment to be gleaned from this obvious, unfunny episode.
    • Metascore: 46
    • Rob Owen 30
    The conclusion is that a great cast and a singular location can't carry a scattershot script that goes in and out of focus.
    • Metascore: 44
    • Rob Owen 30
    "Halfway House" is occasionally amusing but the characters are not well-formed.
    • Metascore: 43
    • Rob Owen 30
    The show is neither funny enough to be a comedy nor dramatic enough to be an engaging drama.
    • Metascore: 43
    • Rob Owen 10
    As for My Generation, the less said about it, the better. It's an insufferable show that could well be the season's first cancellation. And it can't come a moment too soon.
    • Metascore: 42
    • Rob Owen 10
    How to be a Gentleman is exactly the kind of TV comedy Johnny Drama would be thrilled to star in.
    • Metascore: 42
    • Rob Owen 30
    Fox's preposterous organized crime/medical show combo platter The Mob Doctor manages to be silly and sappy.
