For most parents, parenting is hard, but for Kay, a caustic, take-no-prisoners casino pit boss, and husband Mike, a handyman and uncultivated guy's guy, parenting may as well be advanced calculus. Dealing with the demands and egos of three high-IQ children would be tricky for any parent, but it's especially hazardous for two working stiffs who barely got through high school. Mike and Kay are committed to bringing some normalcy to their kids' hectic, unconventional childhoods, but these geniuses don't make it easy.

For the most part, Outmatched leans on the most obvious punchlines in order to sell itself; there's rarely a joke that doesn't end up exactly where you expect it to the second someone tees it up. Go to Full Review Robert Rorke New York Post 01/23/2020
In case you are not laughing, Fox has provided a lame laugh track to persuade viewers that some people might find any of this amusing. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 02/14/2020
2/5
Stale comedy has stereotypes, mild sex, drinking, pot. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba 01/27/2020
I genuinely like the premise for Fox's new sitcom, Outmatched, and I appreciate that it gives Maggie Lawson some work... However, the show itself, which comes from creator Lon Zimmet, is unsalvageably bad in its execution. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 01/24/2020
The pilot of Outmatched is long on good ideas and short on smarts or funny lines, and that's a disappointment. Go to Full Review Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com 01/23/2020

See more 05/09/2020 AWESOME! I really like the cast and the fact that all episodes are unique. Keep it on! See more 05/03/2020 I think it was a good light comedy, that has some great ine liners from the youngest daughter. See more 05/01/2020 I loved this show, I can not wait for season 2! It is honest and refreshing, and quite entertaining, I am sure many parents can see themselves in the shoes of these two parents who are doing whatever they can to survive. <3 See more 04/17/2020 I loved it. It's full of wholesome family fun. The highlight of my week. There is so much more room for the characters to grow and I'd like to see where the kids get their smarts from genetically. It could use more various types of intelligence, to challenge the two older kids to step outside their comfort zones. The best thing about the show is seeing the parent's excitement when the cliched troupes happen. Keep it going fox. See more Read all reviews
