Todd Everett Variety 07/31/2019
[David Alan] Grier and company are a likable enough bunch. Go to Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post 07/31/2019
[David Alan] Grier seems constrained by the character he plays, and it's awfully hard to picture him as an English professor. Go to Full Review John Voorhees Seattle Times 07/31/2019
It's hardly world-class stuff - but Grier is most engaging. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 07/31/2019
The series' shortcomings can't be blamed on [David Alan] Grier, who is the best part of the show... He strives mightily, but in vain, to elevate to mediocre, groanful material with which he is burdened. Go to Full Review David Hiltbrand People Magazine 07/31/2019
B-
