But Thompson has the blithe manner to push things over the borderline, to take so-so material and make it sparkle. Jun 13, 2019 | Full Review… Tom Shales Washington Post Top Critic Caroline in the City has enough strengths to grow and prosper in such a great time slot. Lovely Lea should win many fans. But it would help if Del could be drawn out of the picture. Jun 13, 2019 | Full Review… Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Top Critic What Caroline doesn't have, initially, is a script that's either credible or humorous. Jun 13, 2019 | Full Review… Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times Top Critic The Gets character almost walks off with the show with a combination of biting sarcasm and underlying loneliness. And, of course, there are pop-culture references to spare. Jun 13, 2019 | Full Review… John J. O'Connor New York Times Top Critic That post-Seinfeld slot sets high standards, and Lea Thompson's Caroline is no Elaine. Jun 13, 2019 | Full Review… Newsweek Staff Newsweek Top Critic Caroline lacks the quirkiness and edge of its fellow NBC sitcoms. It also depends on the sort of hoary comedy devices that have made decades of TV sitcoms embarrassing to watch. Jun 13, 2019 | Full Review… Ginia Bellafante TIME Magazine Top Critic Lea Thompson turns in a winning perf as cartoonist Caroline in this sophisticated yet loopy sitcom. Jun 13, 2019 | Full Review… Carole Horst Variety Top Critic With his wit and cutting one-liners, Malcom Getz's performance as Richard often steals the show, but it's Thompson's Caroline that leaves a lasting impression. Jun 13, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Josh Mahler Bullz-Eye.com Though the show lacks the inspired cohesiveness of classic sitcoms like Cheers or Seinfeld, it is bright, brisk and well-played. Jun 13, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… David Hiltbrand People Magazine The producers say they wanted to create a series about a "quirky, engaging, flawed and honest" woman. They've succeeded on that count, as well as serving up some of the most sophisticated dialogue in prime time. Jun 13, 2019 | Full Review… David Zurawik Baltimore Sun Another attempt at replicating the success of Friends and Seinfeld that fell far short of the mark. Jun 13, 2019 | Full Review… Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Features some smart, if uneven, writing. There are several laugh-out-loud lines. There also are some roll-your-eyes situations.
