Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
American Housewife is at its best during scenes of Katie’s daily life with her nerdy husband,Greg (Diedrich Bader), who happens to adore her plus-size figure, and her three children, who prove once more that ABC (with its Disneyfied intuition about such things) has a remarkable knack for casting snarky sitcom kids.

Season 1 Review:
At the moment, those kids feel grafted onto the story — three different containers for three different kinds of jokes. So focus on the parents, who are the hope for this show. That’s particularly true for Mixon, who is seldom off camera and yet never wears out her welcome.

Season 1 Review:
Lurking somewhere in American Housewife is an incisive sitcom that can sit companionably along with ABC’s thoughtful, culturally relevant sitcoms. In a mostly encouraging sign, the second episode of American Housewife ditches the weight talk almost entirely, but it also feels softer and, like its revised title, generic. American Housewife needs to find the middle ground.

Season 1 Review:
The pilot has some decent zingers embedded in its moral premise, and its best moments involve Bader’s staid delivery juxtaposed with Mixon’s snark. ... The pilot veers towards breaking the fourth wall and being far too preachy towards the end, though, which doesn’t serve it well.

Season 1 Review:
"Roseanne," one of television’s great comedies, made this kind of family work with sharp writing and good acting. In American Housewife, created by Sarah Dunn, the jokes are lame and no one is acting; everyone is merely mugging for the cameras, with Ms. Mixon being the worst offender.
