New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley
It's broad, accessible comedy - the kind of show where you aren't sure what to expect, but once you sit down, you keep watching.

It’s the grade of funny this show seems to have accepted - cute, giggle-worthy, and only a smidgen dangerous.
Read Full Review >NewsdayVerne Gay
Finding original humor in this tired old horse of a format may not only be difficult, but close to impossible.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-TimesPaige Wiser
The show is clever in parts, but it's just not that funny.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd
Sadly, these factors [Kevin Nealon, Catherine O'Hara and puppet animation] only amplify my disappointment in what, on the basis of one episode and a handful of clips, looks to be a weak and wheezy show.

Dentists can indeed be funny, but not when they're as toothless as Glenn Martin, DDS.
Read Full Review >New York PostMichael Starr
It's a format that just doesn't mesh with a laughtrack -- and when there's nothing particularly funny about what we're watching, it smacks of desperation.
Read Full Review >Hollywood ReporterRandee Dawn
But ignore the stilted jokes, the limp characterization, the complete lack of "re-imagining" of anything. Just understand this: Martin is an animated show with a laugh track.
Read Full Review >The New York TimesMike Hale
The overall concept is so tired and the execution, despite the overlay of gross-out humor, so hackneyed that we could just as well be watching something from Mr. Eisner’s early career as a chief executive.

Terry M gave it a10:
This Christmas Vacation, a lot of people were talking about how funny it was. I originally resisted it, but recently watched a marathon. Now I'm hooked.
Flip O gave it a10:
Not for preschoolers. I think that's what all the anger's about. When "Taxi" runs on NAN, people understand it's not for kids. But because this is animation, they automatically assume it's okay for pre-schoolers, and are angry when they see it isn't.
Edward P gave it a1:
Unbelievably enough, the show is WORSE after the removal of the laugh track and oft-seen dog butt. The only reason I gave it a 1/10 is because I know that this show can do even worse.
Barry S gave it a0:
I've watched almost every episode of this crap. No I'm serious and it's one of the worst things I've ever seen. When it comes to shows I like to torture myself by watching some really bad shows. This being one of them. The jokes are awful, the characters aren't likable and it has some really bad claymation.
Karma J gave it a10:
I don't care about you stupid concerned parents! This show is drop-dead hilarious. And shouldn't you be monitoring what your kids watch anyways? I find it dumb that you let them watch a show you didn't approve of. I LOVE GLENN!

Danielle g gave it a10:
This show makes my family LAUGH! We love it. Don't find it too racy. The naughty jokes go over the kids heads, but there's another layer for adults.
