Unlike the dreadful sit-no-coms where the person moves back home... this one is funny. Very funny. Go to Full Review Tim Goodman San Francisco Chronicle 03/20/2020
2/4
This is sitcom as emotional affirmation of values, with awwwwww moments galore, cut hard with plenty of sour one-liners. Formulaic? You bet it is. Go to Full Review Michael Speier Variety 09/06/2019
On paper, the WB's "All About the Andersons" is a routine sitcom with tried-and-true mechanisms, but there's something brewing here that feels more distinct. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 03/20/2020
It has its moments - and young Damani Roberts is a find as the son - but it's by no means a great show. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 09/06/2019
