Tom Shales Washington Post 06/13/2019
The series and its stars prove again that sitcoms are almost always personality-driven; if you like the characters and the actors playing them, you'll like the show. By that standard, Getting By is magnificently likable. Go to Full Review Greg Dawson Orlando Sentinel 06/13/2019
Forget the setup: Two single moms and their kids set up housekeeping. The real reason to watch is Cindy Williams, who plays one of the moms. Either she's hilarious or my resistance is really low by 9:30 Friday. Go to Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times 06/13/2019

Cathy and Dolores want to be the new Kate & Allie, but they would do viewers a favor by emulating the final scene of Thelma & Louise as soon as possible. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 06/13/2019
Dumb, cartoonish characters and insipid dialogue make this just another in a long line of brainless sitcoms from the Miller-Boyett company. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
