Harry, Jason, Sherman and Kelly all went to high school together; several years out from graduation, their lives aren't exactly what they'd had in mind. Sherman is a diet guru who recently hijacked a pastry truck after finding out his wife left him; financial expert Jason is facing indictment and is on the verge of suicide; and unhappily divorced Harry discovers former valedictorian Kelly working as a questionable "masseuse." A series of emergencies will bring this group back together -- and with the help of Dr. Joanna Lupone, they'll be able to overcome anything. Hopefully.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Aside from its star-studded cast, In Case of Emergency is a bland comedy that doesn't have much else going for it.

The premise isn't bad, and the pilot of In Case of Emergency, with its skillful pratfalls and ragged seething, shows a great deal of promise, all of which gets squandered next week. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 10/08/2019
[T]he real emergency here is a show that mistakes decibel levels for humor, as if the writers were getting paid on a per-joke-attempt basis. Go to Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 10/08/2019
Here's my blurb, ABC: "In Case of Emergency" is a five-"ew" achievement. Go to Full Review David Kronke Los Angeles Daily News 10/08/2019
No sooner has the show established its bittersweet theme than it goes stark raving moronic. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 10/08/2019
Most significantly, this is a series that would have no chance if the only other channel on the dial was C-SPAN. Go to Full Review Daynah Burnett PopMatters 10/08/2019
Littered with the trappings of a zippy indie flick... the series pilot raced out the door, impressed with its own ingenuity, before we could care about a single character. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
