When [Uecker] and Hewett trade barbs, they elevate the material far beyond the way it would read on the printed page. Down the line, however, for this show to sustain, the writing and the plotting will have to show a bit more originality and flash than it does tonight. [15 Mar 1985]

Though the first episode of Mr. Belvedere indicates that the basic format is fertile ground for humor, its creators should beware believing that a benign laugh track means they have been funny.

Hewett projects the right blend of acid wit and sympathy, but he gets little help from the rest of the project. [15 Mar 1985]

All this would be fine if only there were some comedy in the situation. ... The acting isn't bad, particularly Christopher Hewett as Belvedere and Bob Uecker as the loutish father. But even Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton couldn't pull off lines like [these]. [15 Mar 1985]

"Mr. Belvedere" is the sort of thing people have in mind when they say they hate situation comedies. [15 Mar 1985]

Hewett does about as well as possible in a half-hour that is so dull and insultingly bad that you can't tell the adults from the kids.
