Produced by the Carsey-Werner Co., Frannie's Turn boasts the same mix of strong characters and sharp writing that mark two other Carsey-Werner series - The Cosby Show and Roseanne. Go to Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post 07/03/2019
The problem is that, despite a valiant attempt to keep things aloft by versatile star Miriam Margolyes, the comedy is weak and the family members incompatible. Go to Full Review Jean Rosenbluth Variety 07/03/2019
"Frannie's Turn" is engaging. But if some of the other players don't get a turn to keep the action going and the interest up, the game will be over very quickly. Go to Full Review James Endrst Hartford Courant 07/03/2019
Another solid piece of work from producers Marcy Carsey and Tom Werner with a strong character and star at its center. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 07/03/2019
Just another unimaginative twist on the dysfunctional family routine populated by a nondescript ensemble. Frannie will have viewers turning elsewhere. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
