Collectively, Inconceivable seems a bit desperate and confused. |

Entertainment Weekly Gillian Flynn
With wannabe sensational plotlines and not-at-all-sensational dialogue, Inconceivable feels duly artificial. [23 Sep 2005, p.83] |

People Weekly Tom Gliatto
Does it deliver excitement? So far, no. [3 Oct 2005, p.39] |

Detroit Free Press Mike Duffy
Even with its erratic start, "Inconceivable" still manages to deliver a fair share of escapist, bun-in-the-oven fun. |

Los Angeles Times Paul Brownfield
"Inconceivable" is a much more tentative exercise than "Nip/Tuck," offering only the mildest hints of comment on the world it depicts, of affluent people going to great lengths to bear children. |

Miami Herald Glenn Garvin
A strong cast... breathes life into what might otherwise be just one more tepid medical drama. |

Village Voice Joy Press
It's not clear yet how well the show will balance the fertility doctor's high jinks with patient scenarios. |

Wall Street Journal Nancy DeWolf Smith
Much of this is utter nonsense. Life at a real fertility clinic is certainly a lot more humdrum, with fewer sexy nurses and doctors, a lower success record and longer debates about which clients to treat. |

Chicago Tribune Sid Smith
Too much of the setup is a sad, cheesy cross between "Grey's Anatomy" and "Nip/Tuck." |

Variety Brian Lowry
Like a test-tube baby, "Inconceivable" has the feeling of a series birthed less by passion than clinical precision. |

Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman
Has a lot of forced backstory writing. |

Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond
The inherent melodrama has some absorbing moments, but they're undercut by overheated dialogue and story lines that invariably bite off more than they can easily chew early on. |

San Francisco Chronicle Tim Goodman
A monumental waste of time. |

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Melanie McFarland
This baby doesn't look like it'll make it full term. |

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
An often lighthearted medical show set in a Los Angeles fertility clinic, NBC's "Inconceivable" lacks the grit of "ER," the heart of "Scrubs" and the soapy shenanigans of "Grey's Anatomy," leaving an empty husk of a series. |

New York Daily News David Hinckley
"Inconceivable" is so sappy and syrupy, it's the sort of program that even the Lifetime or Oxygen networks might reject. |

The New York Times Virginia Heffernan
Few viewers will have the stomach to enjoy this. |

Philadelphia Inquirer Jonathan Storm
The worst new show this season. |

Newsday Verne Gay
Utterly vacuous and incompetent. |

Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
[An] intolerable piece of attention-getting TV. |
