What to Know

Critics Consensus

Noted actors David Alan Grier and Delta Burk are as likable as ever, but even they cannot save DAG from its terrible writing, generic storylines, and dull humor.

Kind of a stink bomb. Go to Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post 12/05/2019
A sad-faced little sitcom with "ill-fated" written all over it, the show double-crosses its promising co-stars, David Alan Grier and Delta Burke, with situations and dialogue that seem damp and moldy right out of the can. Go to Full Review M.S. Mason Christian Science Monitor 12/05/2019
Writing and timing seem a bit awkward, but [David Alan] Grier and [Delta] Burke are entertaining. Go to Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun 12/05/2019
This is a network that has truly lost its touch for comedy, and has been grasping at big-name stars instead of looking for fresh concepts and producers who can bring those ideas to life. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 12/05/2019
