Entertainment WeeklyTim Stack

While watching Ozzy and Sharon was like peeking in on real-life Munsters, Run's House plays more like Full House--and feels just as dated. [14 Oct 2005, p.142]

The Rev is a lot like the rest of us. He matured and became dull.

Chicago Sun-TimesDoug Elfman

This show may convince us the Simmonses are good people. But there's not much catchy drama in following the evolution of a teenager's party planning.

It may be too much a celebration of Rev Run's normalcy to be all that intriguing.
