Sons & Daughters offers such a fresh, funny take on family life that it could be a landmark comedy.
By Hal Boedeker FULL REVIEW
88
It has a sprawling cast, but even before the pilot is over, because of the clever way it's written, directed and acted, you'll know, and like, every single character.
By David Hinckley FULL REVIEW
75
It starts out a little cutesy but quickly finds laughs in crisp writing and really strong (and blessedly not-overblown) acting.
By Doug Elfman FULL REVIEW

"Sons & Daughters" is a sitcom whose method -- a script embellished by actors at play -- celebrates the unexpected comedy that can emerge among talented people.
By Matthew Gilbert FULL REVIEW
60
Those who enjoy Sons & Daughters enjoyed Arrested Development more, and the same viewers put off by the latter's off-the-wall humor will also be put off the new show.

Crowded, confusing and unafraid to be dull, "Sons & Daughters" also holds tremendous promise.

20
Most of the cast stammers its way through sentences as if awaiting a lightning strike of inspiration. When it doesn't come, the actors have to say something anyway, and that meandering search for structure is what winds up filling 30 shapeless minutes.
