Blossom Russo is a highly intelligent and spunky teenager. The youngest of three, she lives with her divorced musician father, Nick, eldest brother and recovering substance abuser Anthony, and decidedly not-so-bright middle brother Joey. Along for the ride is Blossom's ditzy best friend, Six, who sometimes shows flashes of great perception.

There's nothing here that showcases Bialik's charm; Blossom wilts quickly. Go to Full Review Jae-Ha Kim Jae-Ha Kim 07/29/2023
2/4
The latest series by the creators of “The Golden Girls” and “Empty Nest” relies on the talents of a teenager to carry it off. Judging by the pilot episode, Mayim Bialik’s likable personality is the primary reason to watch this new comedy. Go to Full Review Jaime J. Weinman Maclean's Magazine 05/23/2019
It (Blossom) took the smart, spunky teenage girl, usually the second banana in any sitcom, and made her the star. Go to Full Review Sarah Hentges PopMatters 05/23/2019
8/10
While at times the episodes feel like one joke after another, perhaps emphasized by the live studio audience laughter, the show is clever, funny, and a refreshing portrayal of a girl's coming of age experience. Go to Full Review Will Harris Bullz-Eye.com 05/22/2019
3/5
The character of Blossom was also an impressive tightrope walk, as she came across as a very original spirit while still going through the same things that all teenage girls go through. Go to Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media 11/29/2018
