Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond
Brilliantly original but wise and low-key. |

Los Angeles Times Robert Lloyd
The domestic version... is every bit as good as the original. |

New York Daily News David Hinckley
I can't remember the last time I laughed so quickly and loudly at a new TV series. |

Entertainment Weekly Alynda Wheat
Naturally funny interviews are easy TV; it's with drier material that the animators shine. [8 Jun 2007, p.74] |

A breezy summertime comic joy. |

Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan
It may not sound funny on paper, and some of these snippets may not be quite as side-splitting as scenes from the deadpan British original, but this edition of “Creature Comforts” is good fun. |

San Jose Mercury News Charlie McCollum
The juxtaposition of the sometimes off-the-wall comments and the cuddly creatures is what makes "Comforts" so amusing. |

The New York Times Ginia Bellafante
Though it displays far less aggression, “Creature Comforts” exists as a sort of affectionate “Borat,” making fun of unsophisticated Americans, as it leaves you feeling not quite as complicit in the exploitation. |

Variety Brian Lowry
A sly, cleverly understated concept -- for about three minutes. Stretched to a half-hour, it's a tedious exercise. |

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
Some of it is funny, some is boring, and some is bound to offend the easily offended. |

Philadelphia Daily News Ellen Gray
Maybe it was funnier with "ordinary" Britons? |
