Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond

Brilliantly original but wise and low-key.

Los Angeles Times Robert Lloyd

The domestic version... is every bit as good as the original.

New York Daily News David Hinckley

I can't remember the last time I laughed so quickly and loudly at a new TV series.

Entertainment Weekly Alynda Wheat

Naturally funny interviews are easy TV; it's with drier material that the animators shine. [8 Jun 2007, p.74]

TV Guide Matt Roush

I hung on and laughed at nearly every word.

Orlando Sentinel Hal Boedeker

Creature Comforts is genuinely good.

Detroit Free Press Mike Duffy

A breezy summertime comic joy.

Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan

It may not sound funny on paper, and some of these snippets may not be quite as side-splitting as scenes from the deadpan British original, but this edition of “Creature Comforts” is good fun.

San Jose Mercury News Charlie McCollum

The juxtaposition of the sometimes off-the-wall comments and the cuddly creatures is what makes "Comforts" so amusing.

The New York Times Ginia Bellafante

Though it displays far less aggression, “Creature Comforts” exists as a sort of affectionate “Borat,” making fun of unsophisticated Americans, as it leaves you feeling not quite as complicit in the exploitation.

Variety Brian Lowry

A sly, cleverly understated concept -- for about three minutes. Stretched to a half-hour, it's a tedious exercise.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen

Some of it is funny, some is boring, and some is bound to offend the easily offended.

Philadelphia Daily News Ellen Gray

Maybe it was funnier with "ordinary" Britons?

This was an excellent show. If I wasn't laughing out loud (I did), I had a permanent grin on my face.

Luke W. gave it a1:
This was the dumbest show i have ever seen. The guy that is saying that this is better than Seinfeld is an idiot this show should not even be mentioned in the same breath as Seinfeld.

Ted J gave it a10:
Sigh. Only the good die young. *Loved* this show. I was worried that it wouldn't hold a candle to the original, but, amazingly, I found it just as side-tickling! It woudl sure be nice to see the rest of the episodes.

Linda M gave it a10:
This show is delightful and innovative and CBS made a huge mistake pulling it off the air before most people even had a chance to watch a single episode.

Nanette B. gave it an8:
