    Outrageous, eccentric, funny, campy--and too creepy for small kids.

    Mockingbird Lane is funny, fanciful, a visual treat and, perhaps surprisingly, full of heart.

    The hour-long pilot of Mockingbird Lane [is] a monster mash of a hot mess.

    The sets are terrific, as are the costumes, and the rich and saturated moodiness of the production values makes the tepidness of the story all the more disappointing.

    Interesting episode, Did not agree with the casting of Jerry O'Connel, he is obviously just there for the female visual stimulation. The show seemed a lot like Arrested Development in relation to the father/son dialogue, perhaps it was just the addition of Portia that sealed my opinion. Overall it was funny, Eddie Izzard was brilliant as usual but did not do enough to help the below average plot. With more episodes i think this show may find its feet, much like The Wire.… Expand

    I thought Mockingbird Lane was really enjoyable some good special effects also very funny loved Eddie Izzard as Grandpa well worth a series to develop a good weekly story and build on what looks like a good show.… Expand

    This show has VERY high production values (aside from one or 2 poor CGI scenes) and Eddie Izzard is as great as you always expect of him, but all the other cast members are weak, the plot was weak, and not much laughs were found. It seems like the show is trying too hard to be quirky and different.… Expand
