This newest Fox comedy isn't quite at the Brooklyn Nine Nine's level, but Making History is incredibly fun.

Mar 3, 2017
The humor of Making History, created by a writer for “Family Guy” and “Dads,” is broad, sometimes borderline gross and pop-culture inflected. ... The jokes are also, with some regularity, funny and endearing, especially when delivered by Mr. Lester or Ms. Meester, whose portrayal of an earnest proto-feminist is the show’s best weapon.

Created by Julius Sharpe, the sheer silliness of the show is infectious and the performances by Pally, Meester and especially Lester are terrific. John Gemberling and Neil Casey are great goofy fun as those good-time boys, John Hancock and Sam Adams.

As the lone comedy of the bunch, Making History feels like the more expansive concept, with the latitude to drop its central trio into a variety of settings. That's especially true if it can continue wryly using the past to effectively comment on the present.

A likable but largely forgettable comedy.

The pilot has its intermittently amusing moments, but episode two, where the trio foments the American Revolution using 2016-era NRA tactics, proves stronger. A third episode involving travel to Al Capone’s Chicago, circa 1919, is fairly lackluster.

The humor is low-brow and juvenile.
