More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for 9JKL Season 1 All Critics (16) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (13) Here's a comedy that just reeks of CBS. Oct 2, 2017 | Rating: C- | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic At least he (Feuerstein) gets to work with his writer wife, Dana Klein,, with whom he created the show. (They say based on their lives. I say, condolences.) Oct 2, 2017 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review… Diane Werts Newsday Top Critic Perhaps the best of '9JKL' is its cast. And yet their performances are exaggerated and exempt from any hint of subtlety. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 8, 2019 | Full Review… Albertini Espinof The show's one-joke premise - parents can be such buttinskis! - wears thin fast despite the likability of Ms. Lavin and Mr. Gould. Oct 25, 2017 | Full Review… Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 9JKL is the kind of show that could have existed in the '90s, early '00s, or today, and still been panned no matter when it debuted. Oct 25, 2017 | Full Review… Kevin Fallon The Daily Beast I like the cast, and it's beyond cute that the creator/writer/executive producer is Feuerstein's real-life wife, Dana Klein. But this is painfully unfunny. It's a chore to sit through. Oct 21, 2017 | Full Review… Scott D. Pierce Salt Lake Tribune Except for the randier jokes, it seems to have been mined from a bygone era of TV, complete with laugh track. Oct 4, 2017 | Full Review… Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com Mediocre comedy fails to impress, despite talented cast. Oct 3, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Emily Ashby Common Sense Media Everyone is far too involved in each other's business, because that's how sitcoms work, but the show's screechy self-loathing makes that seem damning and toxic rather than just antic and fun. Oct 11, 2017 | Full Review… Margaret Lyons New York Times Top Critic The pilot promises a competent if familiar sitcom comedy that's more comfortable than daring - and that's OK. Oct 5, 2017 | Full Review… Lorraine Ali Los Angeles Times Top Critic To be fair, 9JKL does raise some important questions: principally, what bridge is Gould living under that he had to take this show? Oct 3, 2017 | Full Review… Glenn Garvin Reason Online Ugh. It's this waste of talent that is most irritating about 9JKL. Oct 2, 2017 | Full Review… Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV View All Critic Reviews (16) Audience Reviews for 9JKL: Season 1 Aug 27, 2018 What a shame. I can't remember when a show made me laugh hysterically. I howled! Through /every episode. I was stunned when it was cancelled. Fortunately, after a few episodes, I stopped deleting them from my DVR. I seriously regret that I didn't save the first 4. What is wrong with people that they didn't like it? The writing was as clever as the delivery by a very talented cast. So sorry for the cast and crew who certainly deserved better. Guess funny isn't good enough anymore. I'm still shaking my head is disbelief. What can you expect from a bunch of folks who think sitting on an island eating bugs is entertainment? Sadly, quality doesn't count for much anymore. Critics aren't in touch with reality either. Donna O Mar 08, 2018 So far, this is my favourite show, it is they continue the show,,, I can't wait for the new episodes... Feb 27, 2018 Love the show very funny! Feb 26, 2018 CUTE SHOW WOULD LIKE TOO SEE MORE Feb 19, 2018 My favorite sitcom this season. Linda Lavin just knocks me out. Edwin O Feb 06, 2018 Love this show!!! Amazing cast and great family TV!! Jennifer G Feb 05, 2018 I love it I give it an 85% out of 100% . it is clean humor and the Mom and Dad are the cats meow! love it ! METZ D Feb 02, 2018 The cast on this show has great chemistry! Linda Lavin is fantastic -- kind of mom that makes me homesick for NY. The doorman is another standout, although all characters are very strong. I'm also always delighted by the parents' apartment -- it feels so real, with the papers and magazines always pushed down at one end of the table, etc. 9JKLhas a lot of humor and a lot of love - just what I need! Jan 28, 2018 This show always makes me laugh. Great casting. Jan 27, 2018 I like it. Nothing deep - just a cute little show.
