Tom Shales Washington Post 06/07/2019
A relaxed, ingratiating trifle with flashes of magical energy -- virtually all of those provided by series regular Jonathan Winters. Go to Full Review Caryn James New York Times 06/07/2019
[Jonathan Winters'] few minutes of comic bizarreness scattered through each episode seem to belong in another show, and are not nearly enough to save this one. Go to Full Review Rick Kogan Chicago Tribune 06/07/2019
To watch and listen to Winters is to understand where Robin Williams came from, and to appreciate Winters` gifts. He's the ultimate man-child, and I envy the generation that will be encountering him for the first time. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 06/07/2019
Let's just hope they find better writers. The only funny thing about Davis Rules was Winters' performance -- and we know he wasn't working from the script. Go to Full Review Michael Hill Baltimore Sun 06/07/2019
Davis Rules is the type of show that could flounder about with no visible direction or it could jell into a tight, funny, well-done comedy. Though the point spread is close, smart money is moving toward floundering. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
