John Anderson Wall Street Journal 12/29/2023
A network situation comedy that is genuinely funny doesn’t come along every weeknight at 8:30, or most weeknights at 8:30, and even if the producers passed on the most obvious title—“Post-Modern Family”—their new Extended Family has legs. Go to Full Review
Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 12/22/2023
There’s enough here to possibly check back in on Extended Family in the future, but I probably won’t remember to. Go to Full Review
Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 02/07/2024
While this challenges some common cliches about divorce, Exended Family lacks the sharp writing necessary to deliver well-crafted punch lines, which keeps the series from reaching its full potential. Go to Full Review
Dustin Rowles Pajiba 01/18/2024
It pairs well with the thoroughly mediocre Night Court and is an occasionally welcome respite from a television landscape largely dominated by serious dramas and reality television. It’s no Scrubs, or even Scrubs 2.0, but it amiably passes the time. Go to Full Review
Jesse Hassenger The Daily Beast 01/02/2024
Extended Family is the kind of project that desperately needs its stars to power through and attempt to drown out its creakiness. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 12/28/2023
Extended Family is an example of a sitcom that just doesn’t work, despite all of the talent and experience in front of and behind the camera. Go to Full Review

Varnika N @RT93705671 01/15/2025 Extended Family is a lighthearted show that stands out for its simplicity. I appreciated the absence of over-the-top, crazy plotlines. The show captures the charm of everyday life, portraying fairly normal, decent days. However, while this approach has its appeal, the overall premise feels a bit unconventional, and unfortunately, it doesn't quite come together cohesively. It’s not as funny as one might hope for a show of this kind. That said, the cast is talented, and the actors deliver solid performances. Despite their efforts, the show struggles to find its footing and fails to leave a lasting impression. See more y y @RT47987283 06/13/2024 This show is easily one of the more enjoyable family comedies available currently in my view. See more Beth B @RT88659889 03/08/2024 How did the execs at NBC let the pilot air before hiring better writers? I'm a fan of Cryer and Faison and was looking forward to the premiere. The pilot wasn't good. But I came back and watched two more episodes that made me frown not laugh. It could be a good show with a great cast but it's not. See more D H @RT87406959 03/06/2024 What is wrong with people? I’m so confused as the low score of the reviews! This is one of the funniest sitcoms we’ve had. Unless there’s vampires, evil or zombies, these shows don’t stand a chance- I actually laugh every 30 secs as the one liners are hilarious. Cryer is one of my favorite actors and the chemistry among all them is just spot on. Please give the show a chance and watch a few episodes before making judgement. ONE OF BESTl SHOWS ON!!!! See more Jonathan F @RT20467977 03/05/2024 I created this account just to complain about how awful this show is. I love both Faison and Cryer in basically every other project they’ve been in. This show watches like paint drying. It feels like it was rushed out the door (it wasn’t), every episode and character is easily forgettable, and I never found myself even smiling at any of the jokes. I can’t believe we lost out on bangers like American Auto and Grand Crew for this. See more J C @RT31792713 01/30/2024 I've been waiting years to see Donald Faison and Jon Cryer do another sitcom, let alone on the same show?! great comedic talents and this is the Vehicle you give them? it's a lemon. This should not have ever made it out of the writers room let alone greenlit, they should do themselves a favor and kill the show now! at least to retool it and if not let Donald and Jon find something else before it ruins their careers.
