The laughs generated are not subtle, but at least they're there.

Even if the material is a trifle slight, pairing of John Lithgow and Jeffrey Tambor brightens matters, serving up smiles if not outright guffaws.

"Twenty Good Years" is not flat-out awful. It's nowhere close to great, either.
By Melanie McFarland FULL REVIEW

It is a male version of “The Golden Girls,” but with weaker writing, and older viewers are not saps.

If "Twenty" proves anything, it's that even gifted performers can't conceal the flaws of a truly uninspired script, though they can distract from them here and there.
By Barry Garron FULL REVIEW

Despite Lithgow and Tambor's capabilities, the series sags badly amid the moldy excesses of generic, over-the-top slapstick.

If you last through 20 minutes of "Twenty Good Years," NBC's new sit-no-com, you are either a saint, a madman or in a tragic and irreversible coma.
