Jenny McMillan is an unsophisticated girl from Utica, N.Y., who inherits a Hollywood "bachelor pad" from her late father. With her best friend, Maggie, in tow, Jenny heads to Tinseltown and embarks on a series of slapstick-filled adventures. Max and Coop are two goofy aspiring filmmakers who live in the guest house of Jenny's home.

Jenny is a low-key but entertaining affair. Go to Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post 06/20/2019
The vehicle chosen for McCarthy's transformation from MTV diva to NBC ingenue is weaker than a network executive's handshake, and not much more amusing. Too bad, because McCarthy really is something sensationally special. Go to Full Review Anita Gates New York Times 06/20/2019
The humor could be fresher... But the fish-out-of-water premise is always awfully appealing; despite its failings, the show could have a future. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 06/20/2019
Jenny, Maggie, Max and Cooper make the Baywatch hunks and babes look like the Royal Shakespeare Company. However, as dumb as they are, if they were real people, they would be too smart to waste time watching Jenny. Go to Full Review Terry Kelleher People Magazine 06/20/2019

Those with limited enthusiasm for McCarthy's wrinkle-nose-and-grin style of comedy may harbor the hope that [George] Hamilton's character will return-from the grave, like one of those nine-lived types on the daytime soaps. Go to Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun 06/20/2019
You know you have a sorry sitcom when its best moments belong to George Hamilton, and he's doing the same role he's done 10,000 times before, mocking his way-too-tan, playboy image. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
