It seems like a harmless little diversion at this point, with Elfman and Dratch playing well off one another in a fantasy that may have enough winning moments to survive its tough-to-pull-off premise.

Elfman is good (as usual), but Alice doesn’t give her a whole lot of room to expand either. ... There’s not much more here, other than those standard sitcom garnishments, and that spunky, chatty fuzzball.

Imaginary Mary would be more generic if it didn’t have Mary, but when she appears on screen with a grating voice that betrays Alice’s independent career woman id, it adds little comedy to the show.

Elfman’s character brings back her imaginary friend, Mary, from her childhood to help her deal. Mary, voiced by Rachel Dratch, is not funny, just annoying, extremely so.

Proof of how dated and hacky Imaginary Mary is will come from actually watching Imaginary Mary.

The show feels like it’s made up of pieces from several different jigsaw puzzles, the tabs jammed into the blanks with zero regard for compatibility. The result is a mishmash of tones, styles, and themes that’s about as appealing as Mary’s original, noseless-mini-yeti-with-a-good-dental-plan design.

What it really needed, though, was somebody real to suggest they scrap the imaginary part.
