Critic Reviews

Gillian Flynn

It's trying to be juicy, stupid fun, but it isn't smart enough. Read full review

David Hinckley

Farmer Wants a Wife feels about as "real" as "The Dukes of Hazzard," suggesting it should be viewed in much the same spirit. Read full review

Barry Garron

This farmer may want a wife but, in the end, the only guarantee is that he gets a reality show. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Heavily produced, the series has some ratings potential by CW's chicken-feed standards but doesn't feel distinctive or titillating enough to keep 'em down on the farm. Read full review

Ellen Gray

It's strictly entertainment. Assuming that's what you call it when one guy's ordering 10 aspiring brides through a series of ridiculously staged agricultural challenges to find the one who'll win the right to have her name mentioned in People magazine when they break up. Read full review

Jonathan Storm

Viewers should figure out pretty quickly that manure is the main ingredient here, and though it might help the corn crop grow high, it's unlikely to do much to boost ratings at the struggling CW network. Read full review

Rob Owen

American television networks have aired many ridiculous reality shows, but The CW's Farmer Wants a Wife is a master class in televised inanity. Read full review

I felt the show was entertaining. Brooke was my choice from the beginning....they had a lot in common...I would like to see updates....it would be good to see if they really make it...just like I love New York or flavor of love.
