Do Not Disturb

Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd

While there's nothing particularly wrong with Do Not Disturb, neither is there anything so inspired as to make you leap to your feet, crying, "Yes! This is what television needs! More workplace comedies! More hotels!"

New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley

It should be funny, which the new Fox workplace comedy Do Not Disturb is not.

USA TodayRobert Bianco

The result is a show that tries to be adult and titillating but just comes across as juvenile and badly paced, as if the cast were waiting for laughs they must realize won't be arriving.

Washington PostTom Shales

Instead of opting for the trite title, Higginbotham should have looked harder for something more novel. He could have found one suitable title right there in his own dialogue: We're thinking, of course, of "Don't Let This Happen to You."

Philadelphia Daily NewsEllen Gray

Nash is a force of nature, O'Connell a genial actor in search of something more interesting to do than leering. Together, they might want to think of checking out of Do Not Disturb.

Miami HeraldGlenn Garvin

Do Not Disturb is apparently trying for an upstairs/downstairs feel, but it comes across more as above-the-waist/below-the-waist.

Chicago Sun-TimesMisha Davenport

Its characters annoy more than entertain, its boutique hotel setting is uninspired and its comedy just isn't funny. An early checkout from the fall season is all but guaranteed.

New York PostLinda Stasi

This series is a disturbingly unfunny bit of fluff that nonetheless manages to hit you over the head with its heavy, leaden jokes.

VarietyBrian Lowry

Broad isn't automatically bad, of course, but broad and woefully unfunny are a pretty deadly combination.

Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert

Do Not Disturb is a sitcom that bombards you with a whole mess of loud, stupid, obvious, politically incorrect material, hoping it will make you forget about the pervasive pointlessness.

NewsdayVerne Gay

Why, then, this debacle, with bad jokes, listless lines and a parade of cliches? Beats me.

Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan

A program so bad that it's not only unpleasant to watch, but it makes you fear for the future of network television.

Hollywood ReporterBarry Garron

This is a show that could bury the [sitcom] genre altogether.

Baltimore SunDavid Zurawik

It is both bad and offensive in its depiction of some of the workers at a small hotel.

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen

A disapointing and largely laughless comedy set in an upscale New York City hotel.... Do Not Disturb? Try, Do Not Watch.

San Francisco ChronicleTim Goodman

A series so bad that it's daring you to watch. Don't.
