So far, at least, “Call Me Kat” isn’t likely to appeal to people who like to point out that they’ve never seen an episode of “The Big Bang Theory.” But, based on the first four episodes available for preview, “Call Me Kat” is unpretentious, eager to be liked, and easy to take.
Maybe there's a funny idea here, but without edge, bite or (yup) claws, we'll never know. Good heart, no claws (or laughs).

Bialik is endearingly self-deprecating even when her slapstick klutziness pushes for laughs. Unfortunately, the shows gimmicks--frequent Fleabag-stye asides to the camera, the cast waving and taking bows at the end--just reinforce the stale artifice of it all. [18-31 Jan 2021, p.10]
A Fox sitcom that feels so tired and dated it's tempting to double-check the year. Loosely adapted from the British comedy "Miranda," the show revels in pratfalls, but none bigger than the banana peel it keeps slipping on in its pursuit of laughs.
Its trite attempts at humor and schlocky fourth-wall breaking might be an attempt at a nostalgic throwback but wind up making "Kat" feel like a failed '80s sitcom.
We hate to give Call Me Kat a thumbs down, given all the talent in front of and behind the camera. But the show sacrifices character for gimmicks, and the parts that aren’t gimmicky are mostly hacky and unfunny.
Transforms the nerd-comedy masterpiece The Big Bang Theory into—well, garbage.
