In terms of casting, Nealon and Lewis complement each other, but only in this respect: Each is irritating in different ways. Go to Full Review Ray Richmond Variety 08/14/2019
When Levy isn't around to harass and amuse, the show hangs like limp fettucini. Maybe it would help if we could hear how these comedy writers actually write. Go to Full Review Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel 08/14/2019
Unfortunately, the sitcom brings little zing to the show business scenes and relies heavily on tired parenting situations. Go to Full Review Jerry M. Landay Christian Science Monitor 08/14/2019
