New York Post Linda Stasi
Yes, "1 vs 100" is fun, but in reality, it's just a new take on an old, old game. |

I found 1 vs. 100 much more enjoyable [than Deal Or No Deal]. [23 Oct 2006, p.37] |

TV Guide Matt Roush
If NBC must use game shows as spackle to fill holes in its schedule, it could do worse. It already has. |

Philadelphia Inquirer Jonathan Storm
There's no shame in enjoying the entertainment provided by these game shows, which are a step above some of their TV competition, but if knowing all the answers in 1 vs 100 makes you feel smart, then you must be pretty stupid. |

Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan
It’s by no means must-see TV, but this is one game show you don’t have to be ashamed of getting sucked in to. |

Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond
This is not a terrible game. |

The New York Times Alessandra Stanley
Prime-time game shows like “1 vs 100,” which begins tonight on NBC, are not a test of a contestant’s erudition or nerve; they are aspirational reality shows that allow ordinary Joes to go for it all in the hope of transforming their lives. |

Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman
"1 vs. 100" isn't really bad. Its only serious trouble is the pacing. In an hourlong episode, I count just 14 questions. |

Variety Brian Lowry
[It] basically plays like "Deal," inasmuch as the questions are so simple that amassing thousands isn't much harder than guessing which case to open. |

Wall Street Journal Nancy DeWolf Smith
There is a lot that is ridiculous here. |

Slate Troy Patterson
The only problem with 1 vs. 100 is its determined idiocy. |
