Miami Herald Glenn Garvin
Just think of all the stolen ideas as a public works program for Hollywood lawyers and stick to the action on-screen, which is quite entertaining. |

New York Post Linda Stasi
The format is so complicated and the contestants so unappealing that the show misses the mark. |

Salon Heather Havrilesky
If you've only watched a few episodes of ["The Amazing Race"] but never really appreciated its ability to amaze, tune in for an episode of "Treasure Hunters" and you'll begin to understand just how high "TAR" has set the bar. |

Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman
The problem with "Treasure Hunters" is the same problem with "Amazing Race": It just feels like all the competing teams are spinning their wheels by solving clues. |

Hollywood Reporter Barry Garron
It is obvious in just the first few minutes who the real winners are -- members of the NBC sales department. Collectively, they have taken product placement to new and annoying heights. |

The New York Times Virginia Heffernan
"Treasure Hunters" is too flimsy a pillar to help structure NBC's reality-television future. |

Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
"Treasure Hunters" is slickly annoying right off the bat. |

Newsday Verne Gay
Because so many viewers will have seen this kind of reality show before, their minds may start to wander by the second commercial break. |

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
Dull and plodding, "Hunters" is no reality TV treasure. |

Variety Brian Lowry
The racing around adds up to a chaotic bore without a hint of originality, as well as the most confusing set of rules for a reality show since the first season of "The Mole." |
