    Crumbs' approach to the foibles of the family, though not for the tender-hearted, is raucously funny.

    Feels like an indie feature idea crammed into a sitcom.

    Every year, there's at least one sitcom that takes an extremely talented cast, and wastes all that talent in an extremely disappointing series.

    I like Jane Curtain and William Devane they were the only good things about this show. Fred Savage is definitely better than in the premiere, the brother just annoyed me.

    Painful to watch. I didn't find it funny at all, and the jokes seemed to repeat (imagine what this show will be like by episode 10, if it makes it that far).

Fred Savage should have quit while he was ahead and left us all remembering him from Wonder Years.… Expand
