63"Freddie" isn't groundbreaking, but it's watchable, and the characters are very likable.
-
60It's an amiable show whose main purpose is to give Prinze a place to be amiable in, and it does that well enough, when it isn't straining for laughs or wandering too far from the path of probability.
-
58[A] bland sitcom. [14 Oct 2005, p.142]
-
50The new premiere isn't horrible, and it shows some promise.
-
50This guy has a great personality. Building a likable sitcom around him ought to be a no-brainer. So why haven't they done it?
-
50The big problem is Prinze himself, an actor whose work has shown much charm but not much range. Here, even the charm is missing as he dwells on every joke and gesture.
-
50[A] bland, formulaic family comedy.
-
50Freddie is a series of collisions -- between generations, sexes, ethnicities and perhaps most of all between youthful Latin macho and imperious Latin matriarchy in the struggle to rule the house.
-
50Cynical, randy, derivative and as wearily familiar as a cup of cheap joe, "Freddie" is also expertly cast, acted, written and directed.
-
40A fairly pedestrian comedy that needs all the studio-generated laughter it can muster.
-
40The best aspect of "Freddie" is that it makes an earnest attempt to depict a loving, supportive Latino family. You want to spend time with them, but only if the writers put as much sizzle into the scripts as Freddie does in his beloved recipes.
-
38Maybe Prinze should just clear the soundstage of all these people, stand there alone and start over. [24 Oct 2005, p.41]

30Freddie... isn't funny.
-
30Its humor is simple and, at times, degrading.
-
30It appears Freddie Prinze Jr. studied at the Matt LeBlanc School of Acting given his mumbling performance and nice-guy-cum-neanderthal portrayal of Freddie Moreno.
-
20It's ABC's idea of good, clean fun. Sad that it's the best idea the network could have.
-
20''Freddie" tries to distinguish itself with Puerto Rican dash, and it has been even more ruthlessly built to appeal to TV's most coveted audience, young women, by exploiting Prinze's pinup appeal. Maybe ABC should think about adding a third element to help the show attract viewers: It's called good writing.
-
10The fall's worst new comedy.
-
10A transparent, if lame, vehicle for Freddie Prinze Jr.
-
10Never amusing, "Freddie" is relentlessly unreal and monotonously sophomoric.
-
10An absolute mess.
-
10The characters aren't dimensional, or very involving, and Freddie has a drab sort of haplessness that makes him seem at best a chump, at worst a chimp.
-
10Dead on arrival in the laughs department.
-
0Terrible writing, painful acting, forced comic situations.
