San Francisco ChronicleTim Goodman
What works so well in the series is that the four friends are so distinctly different, and the writers are able to adjust the level of humor to each.
Read Full Review >Miami HeraldGlenn Garvin
The relatively no-name cast (which includes Craig Bierko as a recently dumped financial planner, Rashida Jones as a divorce lawyer better at managing breakups than relationships, and Johnny Sneed as a three-time-loser party boy) is excellent, and the goofball writing hilarious.... But this is buyer-beware territory, with something to offend practically everybody whose age or IQ exceeds 16.
Read Full Review >Orlando SentinelHal Boedeker
Unhitched is not frantic. The actors, led by laid-back Bierko, give appealing performances. If you don't mind a knockoff of Seinfeld, Unhitched could be for you.
Read Full Review >New York PostAdam Buckman
Some of it is quite funny and so are the situations in which these four characters find themselves.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-TimesMisha Davenport
While Unhitched certainly contains its share of gross-out moments, these moments all feel so hopelessly forced and happen to characters we care so little about that they don't carry the comedic weight they should.
Read Full Review >LA WeeklyRobert Abele
Even when Unhitched isn't funny--and the second episode is definitely an improvement on the pilot, which tries too hard--it at least isn't vile.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd
All in all, it is pretty thin and flat; there are jokes that work, and the cast is able, but not in the service of anything substantial.
Read Full Review >Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert
The show doesn't ever really develop a comic center, or a heart. It's just a bunch of pointless monkey business.
Read Full Review >VarietyBrian Lowry
The show feels completely derivative, it's wholly unconvincing that the central quartet would hang out together, and I'm frankly still fuzzy (mostly because after 10 minutes it's difficult to give a damn) on what connects them beyond the not-that-jarring status of being single again in their 30s and, well, "Seinfeld" did it.
Read Full Review >Washington PostTom Shales
There's not "a lot" of heart in the unhilarious Unhitched--in fact, barely any.
Read Full Review >Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan
Most of its jokes and plots feel flat and predictable and it’s hard to get invested in a comedy that relies on the fact that its only minority character, a doctor of Indian descent, can’t get certain American slang terms right. Har har.
Read Full Review >The New York TimesGinia Bellafante
Unhitched expends a wrestler’s energy aiming to offend and provoke, but no amount of outrageousness can mask its conformity.
Read Full Review >Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen
In a way, Unhitched reminds me of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" in its attempts to shock, but this new series feels more manufactured and far less likely to become a cult hit.
Read Full Review >USA TodayRobert Bianco
The actors do their best, but most of what they're doing is hopelessly, witlessly predictable.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia InquirerJonathan Storm
The Farrellys finish in second place [of having the dumbest show this Sunday], directing a sitcom, Unhitched (Sunday 9:30 p.m., Fox 29), about four clowns who struggle stupidly with their newly single status.
Read Full Review >Newark Star-LedgerAlan Sepinwall
The issue I have with the rape-by-orangutan scene in Unhitched is that it's not funny, nor does it even seem to be trying to be funny. It's lazy comedy, substituting shock value for wit and invention, and it typifies everything that follows on this lame excuse for a sitcom.

Raysa J. gave it a1:
Falls flat and then gets annoying.
A. M. gave it a0:
Horribly unfunny and stupid. This is the kind of show that is destroying America and the world at large. The actors, writing, and direction all suck beyond belief.
A T gave it a7:
This one went in and out for me. I liked some pieces, others, not so much. The stereo-typical Indian guy was the only one that really annoyed me. Everyone else I believed and enjoyed to a certain degree. And I loved that it was in Boston!
Rob W. gave it an8:
Goofball comedy that seems to exist only to provide laughs. That is not a bad thing. No deep messages, just a sense of ribald fun. Let's hope the writers can keep it going.
Henry P. gave it a10:
Hilarious! great writing.
Rock F. gave it a2:
Another huge misfire from the Farrelly Brothers. It's hard to believe that these are the same guys who created "Dumb & Dumber," "Kingpin," and "There's Something About Mary." The gross-out humor is forced and there was no chemistry among the leads. I give this a "2" only because Rashida Jones is such a cutie.
