Lukewarm leftovers that were about as funny as a big fat pan of spoiled spanikopita. Go to Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post 09/05/2019
Strictly as a sitcom, My Big Fat Greek Life, despite its unusual origins, comes across as blatantly ordinary. It's shamelessly similar to Everybody Loves Raymond but so far not nearly as good. Go to Full Review Michael Speier Variety 09/05/2019
There sure is a lot of yelling in My Big Fat Greek Life, and it's not the charming, folksy type. Behaving as if the only way to express ethnicity is to scream, the characters are even bigger stereotypes than their pic counterparts. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
