Hot Properties

Detroit Free PressMike Duffy

A raunchy, mostly forgettable female bonding sitcom.

Hot Properties has a loose, engaging silliness. [31 Oct 2005, p.39]

While "Hot Properties" doesn't generate big guffaws, there's a breezy quality to it that makes for good company at what's mercifully a lower decibel level than its lead-in or the WBthe WB's competing "Living With Fran."

Ever since Sex and the City proved you could update Designing Women for a shallower audience by amping up the sex and removing the social content, TV writers have been trying without success to replicate the trick. Though Hot Properties feels too forced and a bit old-hat, it comes closer than most, thanks to a strong cast and a few genuinely funny lines.

Hollywood ReporterBarry Garron

This is sassy and superficial but also entertaining, and that's really all it aspires to be.

Miami HeraldGlenn Garvin

There was a lot more to Sex and the City than menage a trois jokes, and whether Hot Properties can move beyond smutty snickers to develop real characters and story lines remains to be seen.

Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert

Despite the actresses' happy energy, ''Hot Properties" falls into terribly familiar comic territory.

The New York TimesAlessandra Stanley

There are some funny moments on "Hot Properties," but few surprises. It's a very conventional, even sedate sitcom about sex.

Orlando SentinelHal Boedeker

It's Designing Women without the heart, Sex and the City without the wit.

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen

A disappointingly sex-obsessed sitcom.

The few genuinely funny lines... are immediately buried in an avalance of canned laughs. [7 Oct 2005, p.67]

SlateDana Stevens

Despite an abundance of painfully suggestive one-liners, Hot Properties feels tepid and static. What's worse for a show designed to appeal to female audiences, it feels misogynistic.

Seattle Post-IntelligencerMelanie McFarland

This "Sex and the City" wannabe contains neither heat nor giggles.

Washington PostChip Crews

A big problem with "Hot Properties" is its hollow core.

San Francisco ChronicleTim Goodman

If you remember nothing about this column, remember this: "Hot Properties" is stupid and annoying.

New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley

"Hot Properties" is such a stiff and unfunny sitcom that it's hard to imagine how it got on the air.

San Jose Mercury NewsCharlie McCollum

A lame, tawdry sitcom with unfunny sex jokes.

NewsdayDiane Werts

ABC's little-girl gang of four represents nothing more than cliches.

Chicago Tribune

This shameless, decidedly unfunny look at women in a Manhattan real estate office is mostly an excuse for stale, transparent, cutesy sex jokes, the sort of self-degrading stuff few self-respecting women would tolerate.

Los Angeles TimesPaul Brownfield

We're to believe ABC took a look at all this and said, yes, yes and yes.

Cleveland Plain DealerMark Dawidziak

This is a leading contender for the title of worst new show of the season.

Chicago Sun-TimesDoug Elfman

Oh, and there's a very pink teapot on their coffee table. It's easy to take note of such set pieces when you're in the process of not laughing.
