Critic Reviews

Barry Garron

Despite its 1980s ambiance, you can't simply dismiss the show. It has some genuinely funny lines, though it's not clear who to thank for that. Read full review

Aaron Barnhart

I like Gary Unmarried. It’s like other sitcoms I’ve seen of late involving newly broken-up households (remember when the sitcom single dad was widowed instead of divorced?). Read full review

Hal Boedeker

Mohr is too frantic, and Marshall is too harsh, but Ed Begley Jr. delights as a goofy therapist. Read full review

Misha Davenport

Mohr knows how to deliver a sarcastic one-liner, the pilot has a few laughs and the characters are all likable. But despite modern references to things like "Second Life," the whole show comes across as a bit antiquated. Read full review

Jonathan Storm

Their recently divorced characters have all the stereotypical sitcom tsuris, plus she's engaged to their marriage counselor--ho, ho--who turns out to be Ed Begley Jr., who actually is a little funny. As is Ryan Malgarini, who plays Gary's son, who at 14 is more confused about females than his dad. He's the best part of the show. Read full review

Tom Shales

There are errant laughs floating around, but for the most part Gary Unmarried is Gary Unfunny. Read full review

Verne Gay

Gary is a throwback to a time when laugh tracks were provided by evidently demented studio audiences; when one-liners were stoked with double entendres about sexual functions; when sitcoms had a beat, pace and predictability so primitive that they engaged only the reptilian part of our brains. To some viewers, this may be comfort food. To others: Hell. Read full review

How cute is this blended family thing! I really love the hubby/ex/girlfriend/black guy friend/hippy dad/military brother/geeky kids circle that Gary has going on. And that he's following his dream and fought so hard for it in the radio career, and that he seems to be fighting for his How cute is this blended family thing!
