Critic Reviews

88 New York Post Linda Stasi
Huge fun and - if at all possible - almost as nerve-wracking as "Idol."
50 Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman
There is one fantastic thing about this show. It's only a half-hour.
50 Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan
It's an intriguing idea for a reality show, and it more or less survives Fox's cheesy presentation.
40 Variety Phil Gallo
It's tough to get an audience to care for any of the players in a show that's just 30 minutes long.
25 People Weekly Tom Gliatto
The show makes Survivor look like a utopia. [17 Apr 2006, p.43]
10 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
I'll give "Unan1mous" this: At least it's more efficient than some reality shows, wasting only a half-hour of a viewer's time. But that's still 30 minutes you don't have to spend wallowing in this muck.
10 Orlando Sentinel Hal Boedeker
Unan1mous, the worst new series this season, accomplishes the unthinkable: It makes Big Brother look respectable.
0 Washington Post John Maynard
Do not be suckered into watching Fox's torturous new game show "Unan1mous," which in a half-hour crams in several of the worst reality show gimmicks and crosses the border of tastelessness... all while remaining flat-out dull.
0 Miami Herald Glenn Garvin
Makes a solid bid to win the Most Unpleasant Reality Show of All Time award.
0 Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond
It feels far closer to genre self-parody than it does the genuine article: wildly overproduced and characteristically overbearing, with a concept that plays as utterly insipid.
0 Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
It's the new bottom of the barrel.
