What to Know

Critics Consensus

With a predictable script and crass humor, Crumbs is barely tolerable thanks only to Jane Curtis's fine performance.

Sadly, the result is a fine cast underemployed. Go to Full Review Virginia Heffernan New York Times 09/30/2019
[I]f it's not funny, why give "Crumbs" any attention at all? Because it's an unusual experiment... it also exhibits more gravitas than any sitcom in television history. Go to Full Review Tim Goodman San Francisco Chronicle 09/30/2019
[Fred] Savage is the least of the problems in "Crumbs." He's got timing and he can act, but the script about his "crazy" family is cliche-ridden, predictable and unfunny. Go to Full Review OC Register Staff Orange County Register 09/30/2019
Comedy pilots are notoriously unreliable... So it's worth noting that a second episode of "Crumbs" seemed less jokey and, yes, less crummy. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 09/30/2019
"Crumbs..." is bright, funny, touching, dramatic and heartfelt, sometimes in the same moment. Go to Full Review Robert Abele L.A. Weekly 09/30/2019
Watching Crumbs is like watching a poorly trained nurse trying to find a vein: less amusing than it is nerve-wracking. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
