Six people survived the blast: including Mark, the narrator, because he was in his Volvo; Alice, a feminist who was in her bookstore basement which used to be a bomb shelter in the 60s; Curtis, an arrogant yuppie who was in the bank vault of his brokerage office; Jack, a cheery homeless guy living under the interstate; Frederick, a black pathologist who was in an underground morgue; and Suzanne, a dumb sexy manicurist who just....survived! Giant mutant insects would sometimes intrude, but for the most part they just organized nutty survival schemes.… Expand

Critic Reviews

Ed Siegel

Jun 19, 2013

Season 1 Review: The sextet wonders why they've all been drawn to the same farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. The answer is obvious: to give us several good laughs with which to end the weekend. [19 Sep 1992]

David Hiltbrand

Season 1 Review: This would just be another substandard sitcom, if not for its alarmingly sexist bent. Read full review

Howard Rosenberg

Season 1 Review: As a concept, "Woops!" has satirical possibilities. But they aren't realized in the premiere. Read full review

Ken Tucker

Season 1 Review: Hey, I like laughing at the apocalypse as much as the next guy, but from its title on down, Woops! is depressingly timid, displaying far too little of the Fox network's time-honored tastelessness. Read full review

Matt Roush

Season 1 Review: In messages delivered with ball-peen bluntness, the sextet talk of creating ''a new and better world'' from scratch. The only thing better about this one is there's no TV, no Woops! [25 Sep 1992]

Marvin Kitman

Jul 23, 2013

Season 1 Review: Something is missing in "Woops!," besides a second joke. ... It could have been the funniest show in the world, if there was a nuclear war, really, and this was the only one show left. "Woops!" is moronic on so many levels. [5 Oct 1992]

Ann Hodges

Season 1 Review: It's just about as huge a bomb as might have been expected. [25 Sep 1992]
