A raunchy, mostly forgettable female bonding sitcom. |

Hot Properties has a loose, engaging silliness. [31 Oct 2005, p.39] |

Variety Brian Lowry
While "Hot Properties" doesn't generate big guffaws, there's a breezy quality to it that makes for good company at what's mercifully a lower decibel level than its lead-in or the WBthe WB's competing "Living With Fran." |

Ever since Sex and the City proved you could update Designing Women for a shallower audience by amping up the sex and removing the social content, TV writers have been trying without success to replicate the trick. Though Hot Properties feels too forced and a bit old-hat, it comes closer than most, thanks to a strong cast and a few genuinely funny lines. |

Hollywood Reporter Barry Garron
This is sassy and superficial but also entertaining, and that's really all it aspires to be. |

Miami Herald Glenn Garvin
There was a lot more to Sex and the City than menage a trois jokes, and whether Hot Properties can move beyond smutty snickers to develop real characters and story lines remains to be seen. |

Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
Despite the actresses' happy energy, ''Hot Properties" falls into terribly familiar comic territory. |

The New York Times Alessandra Stanley
There are some funny moments on "Hot Properties," but few surprises. It's a very conventional, even sedate sitcom about sex. |

Orlando Sentinel Hal Boedeker
It's Designing Women without the heart, Sex and the City without the wit. |

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
A disappointingly sex-obsessed sitcom. |

The few genuinely funny lines... are immediately buried in an avalance of canned laughs. [7 Oct 2005, p.67] |

Slate Dana Stevens
Despite an abundance of painfully suggestive one-liners, Hot Properties feels tepid and static. What's worse for a show designed to appeal to female audiences, it feels misogynistic. |

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Melanie McFarland
This "Sex and the City" wannabe contains neither heat nor giggles. |

Washington Post Chip Crews
A big problem with "Hot Properties" is its hollow core. |

San Francisco Chronicle Tim Goodman
If you remember nothing about this column, remember this: "Hot Properties" is stupid and annoying. |

New York Daily News David Hinckley
"Hot Properties" is such a stiff and unfunny sitcom that it's hard to imagine how it got on the air. |

San Jose Mercury News Charlie McCollum
A lame, tawdry sitcom with unfunny sex jokes. |

Newsday Diane Werts
ABC's little-girl gang of four represents nothing more than cliches. |

Chicago Tribune
This shameless, decidedly unfunny look at women in a Manhattan real estate office is mostly an excuse for stale, transparent, cutesy sex jokes, the sort of self-degrading stuff few self-respecting women would tolerate. |

Los Angeles Times Paul Brownfield
We're to believe ABC took a look at all this and said, yes, yes and yes. |

Cleveland Plain Dealer Mark Dawidziak
This is a leading contender for the title of worst new show of the season. |

Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman
Oh, and there's a very pink teapot on their coffee table. It's easy to take note of such set pieces when you're in the process of not laughing. |
