Critic Reviews

60 Orlando Sentinel Hal Boedeker
The show's traditional approach explains its appeal as well as its limits.
58 Entertainment Weekly Tim Stack
While watching Ozzy and Sharon was like peeking in on real-life Munsters, Run's House plays more like Full House--and feels just as dated. [14 Oct 2005, p.142]
50 New York Post Adam Buckman
The Rev is a lot like the rest of us. He matured and became dull.
50 Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman
This show may convince us the Simmonses are good people. But there's not much catchy drama in following the evolution of a teenager's party planning.
50 Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan
"Run's House" doesn't offer anything new to the genre.
50 Detroit Free Press Mike Duffy
"Run's House" seems to be the reality sitcom flip side of "Being Bobby Brown."
50 The New York Times Ned Martel
It may be too much a celebration of Rev Run's normalcy to be all that intriguing.
40 Seattle Post-Intelligencer Melanie McFarland
Whether audiences will find the show's consumerism-as-reward message interesting enough to keep coming back is tough to predict.
20 Newsday Diane Werts
This is pretty tedious viewing.
20 Hollywood Reporter Erik Pedersen
The show feels as scripted as a sitcom.
