70It's neither wildly innovative nor sidesplittingly funny, but it has a warm, cozy group vibe and no flagrant casting mishaps.
-
60"Four Kings" is better than a lot of similar sitcoms, but it's not different enough to stand out in what NBC hopes will be a renaissance of must-see television.
-
60A touch of "Friends" with "Odd Couple" undertones.
-
58A not unwelcome addition to the genre, but not that essential, either. [27 Jan 2006, p.74]
-
50"Four Kings" is a strange thing. The first episode of the new NBC comedy reeks. But there are moments in the next two episodes that make it seem as if it has the potential to be a male version of "Sex and the City," minus the naughty stuff HBO could show that NBC can't.
-
50In short, it's a good thing they've been friends since childhood, because nothing in their personalities would lead you to believe they'd even be civil to each other if they met as adults. That's a problem for a sitcom about friendship.
-
50Though miles behind the sophistication of the earlier NYC-set "Seinfeld" or "Friends," "Kings" sometimes boasts laugh lines funnier than those, say, on "How I Met Your Mother," the CBS venture essentially after the same audience.
-
50There's nothing revolutionary about this story of four friends.
-
40Given how familiar the premise is, the show's modest appeal hinges entirely on the cast's marginal chemistry and the rapid-fire jokes, making for at best a hit-miss proposition.
-
40OK, ''Four Kings" isn't the worst of its type, in that some of the jokes hit their mark.
-
30What can I tell you about "Four Kings" that you won't already know? It premieres tonight at 8:30 on NBC. By 8:46, or thereabouts, you will understand everything.
-
30[A] generic dud.
-
25NBC has reestablished another Thursday night tradition: sticking another unfunny, almost unwatchable sitcom at 8:30.
-
25"Kings" is a self-conscious attempt to reel in the 20- to 30-something male demographic that TV is so desperate to capture. But, unfortunately, it isn't edgy, especially funny or believable.
-
25The premise is only a small part of the problem in "Four Kings." The writing is labored, adolescent and unfunny.
-
20While the show has little going for it, it does have Seth Green.
-
20"Four Kings" isn't just tediously sitcommy, it's painfully sitcrummy.
-
10Dreadful.
