60The truth is that Rob is a rather funny sitcom about the cultural collisions that occur every day in an increasingly blended America.
-
50CBS has churned out yet another lowest-common-denominator sitcom.
-
50The only times Rob flirts with funniness are when the stereotypes get turned around
-
50The humor in Rob is broad, occasionally rollicking, not very clever or sophisticated, but some of it works well enough to keep the show going.
-
50This needs to evolve into a smarter, less formulaic show before it's worth watching.
-
50There are lots of swings and misses amid the direct hits. And that's pretty much the way it is with Rob.
-
42It's lame and tin-eared.
-
40Despite the general mediocrity of the show's dialogue, these are potentially endearing comic characters played by (mostly) excellent comic actors.
-
40Rob might be a lot things, but "smart" isn't an adjective apt to crop up frequently in connection with it.
-
38[A] dull new sitcom. [23 Jan 2012, p.40]
-
37Rob is a scream, and not in a good way.
-
30There's no on-screen chemistry between Schneider and Bassols, the jokes are weak and the acting is forgettable.
-
30This isn't the worst sitcom of the season--if you've seen ABC's "Work It" and survived, you can attest to this--but it's far from the best.
-
25Rob is a slapstick shtick-fest that strains to be "Modern Family," but isn't even close.
-
25There's hardly a moment or performance in Rob that doesn't reek of the leftover and the second-rate.
-
25Yup, pretty awful.
-
20The main problem with Rob is that instead of finding fresh insight and perspective from his inside position, Schneider just slams a piñata full of familiar and predictable ethnic jokes.
-
10[An] offensively unfunny series.
-
10Rob! is playing at a meta game in which it transmutes lame jokes about Hispanics into clever commentary by putting them in Rob's mouth, but that kind of strategy only works when the sitcom's world outside the lead character is not equally lame.
-
10Work It managed to claim Worst Comedy of the Year, but surely CBS' Rob comes in a close second.
-
10Nothing Mr. Schneider has done over the intervening years, however--not even licking his own crotch in "The Animal"--has been quite as degrading, for him or his audience, as Rob, his new autobiographical sitcom on CBS.
-
10Dull, dimwitted and offensive.
-
0Rob! is genuinely offensive.
-
0Rob feels as if it were written by people who aren't on a first-name basis with comedy.
-
0Rob is clumsy and uncomfortable, not to mention completely devoid of chemistry among its actors or subtlety in their delivery of "jokes."
