We've seen this kind of manipulative, heartstring-tugging material before and it's not written well enough here to make it interesting again. Go to Full Review Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch 06/07/2012

The characters are so appealing that I wonder whether the show wouldn't have been fine without the weirdness. Go to Full Review David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle 06/07/2012
1/4
