NewsdayVerne Gay
A show that is so achingly familiar - in content, tone, stars, everything - that it's actually funny.

You won't be quoting lines from it over Friday morning coffee, but it is, if not good, then good enough.

Sometimes what should be dark comedy is just plain depressing. [8 Sep 2006, p.156]
New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley
"'Til Death" plays like a tired reworking of "Married ... With Children," but without the children.

The harsh reality is that it will be lucky to get the time it needs to figure out how to become the show it was meant to be.
Read Full Review >The New York TimesVirginia Heffernan
It’s pretty easy to loathe this stuff if you like your comedy more ragged, drug-addled and confrontational. But there’s an easygoing red-state pleasantness to it too, a celebration of timeless and consoling suburban inertia.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-TimesDoug Elfman
The first episode is OK. Predictable. Standard. But Garrett's funny, and he and Fisher work great together.
Read Full Review >LA WeeklyRobert Abele
The entertainment value in this otherwise rudimentary sitcom lies in watching Garrett aim for front-and-center Gleason-ness.
Read Full Review >Orlando SentinelHal Boedeker
'Til Death takes predictable, mean-spirited turns, and Garrett acts with off-putting self-satisfaction. His Eddie is no charmer like his bumbling Robert Barone.
Read Full Review >Detroit Free PressMike Duffy
There are occasional funny moments amid the raging comic mediocrity.
Read Full Review >Newark Star-LedgerAlan Sepinwall
It's not a great sitcom, not even really a good one, and the strain of trying to sell such mediocre material will no doubt get to Garrett in a few weeks, but it's still vastly better than its companion show.
Read Full Review >Washington PostTom Shales
At least [it] has possibilities and a good excuse for a giggle now and then.
Read Full Review >USA TodayRobert Bianco
The main structural problem for the show is that neither the couples nor the contrast makes any sense.... Still, this being a comedy, the more troubling problem is that no one is funny, starting with Garrett.
Read Full Review >VarietyBrian Lowry
Put it this way: Any comedy that milks multiple jokes from a character being named "Woodcock" is pretty much running on fumes.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Daily NewsEllen Gray
Without the "Raymond" writing team behind him, Garrett's not so much unleashed as he is uninteresting.
Read Full Review >New York PostLinda Stasi
"'Til Death's" Garrett, the man who made Jackie Gleason look like a disgusting manic-depressive jerk in that awful CBS movie, seems to be bringing the same unpleasant character to his first leading-man role in a sitcom.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles TimesPaul Brownfield
Almost as soon as the sitcom begins you can feel where every joke is going to end.
Read Full Review >Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen
The pilot plot... follows a well-worn path of sitcoms traceable back to when cavemen acted them out with large dinosaur bones as props.
Read Full Review >San Francisco ChronicleTim Goodman
This is probably the worst sitcom of the fall.

Diego gave it a1:
You would think this show would be off the air by now. It gives in to literally every sitcom convention from the good looking wife married to goofy looking husband to the stealing jokes from all other sitcoms. Simply horrendous.
Chris L. gave it a9:
Always makes me laugh.
Nike H gave it a10:
It's pretty damn funny at times... it's a "situational comedy" and brings up some hilarious points that people can relate to in married suburbia life.
Joy gave it a2:
This show looked lame when I saw the previews for it but I gave it a chance since Brad Garrett is one of the stars. Boy, did it stink! We've heard these jokes before on unfunnier shows. I give the show 2 months before it gets pulled off the air.
Scott G gave it a6:
The concept is fine, the casting is right (I'd watch Joely Fisher in anything), but the scripting is weak; there's a lack of crispness that translates into a lack of laughs. The episode where Mrs. Woodcock has a sex dream about Brad Garrett's "Eddie" was ripped off from "Home Improvement". This does not bode well for the future.
Said B gave it a10:
Give it a chance if it does not work out cancell it
Sandy L gave it a10:
I love this show!!!I I started loving Garrett near the last season of Raymond, so to see him act again is great. He is hilarious and so is Joely. Keep it coming!!
