Critic Reviews

Robert Lloyd

It may be seen as a kinder, gentler, funnier cousin to Fox's bitter " 'Til Death." Read full review

Pity Patrick Warburton whose dour delivery is the brightest spot in this half hour. He clearly feels trapped, but not by his marriage. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

At no point will you feel like scratching your own eyes out rather than sitting through an episode. So there’s that. Read full review

Mike Duffy

A ho-hum traditional sitcom filled with formula banter and cliched cuteness. Read full review

David Zurawik

Let's hope Rules is just a misguided piece of fluff that disappears after a dozen episodes - and not a bellwether series trying to tell us something about how our lives have changed for the worse. Read full review

Melanie McFarland

Besides making every aspect of dating and mating look depressing, it's hard to come up with a reason to spend time with any of these characters. Read full review

Linda Stasi

Everyone involved in creating this show should be forced to immediately seek other forms of employment. This business is not - repeat, not - for you. Read full review

Thank goodness for Metacritic, I love this show, patrick warburton, david spade are hilarious, the critics don't like it because it is not a politically correct sitcom, the males are like grown college men, Spade routinely uses women for nothing more that sex, there is no central characterThank goodness for Metacritic, I love this show, patrick warburton, david spade are hilarious, the critics don't like it because it is not a politically correct sitcom, the males are like grown college men, Spade routinely uses women for nothing more that sex, there is no central character that is gay, many of the jokes are smack downs, insults about girly men, women, etc. I LOVE IT! Obviously the fans have it right, I hope this show rockets up the charts in its 5th season because my old favorite "Two and a half men" stinks without crazy Charlie Sheen, Ashton Kutcher is a wuss!… Expand

I love this show. I'm married and know about all the three lifestyles portrayed on this show. It's hilarious because every episode is so true in real life.
