Tony Scott Variety 07/23/2019
Thunder Alley's a pleasantly average half-hour, and director Barnet Kellman handles the mild material well. But what it boils down to is a sitcom with heart and Asner. Maybe it's enough. Go to Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post 07/23/2019
Ed Asner returns to episodic TV in a role that demeans him, reducing him to the crusty-but-lovable stereotype that haunts so many of these shows. Go to Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times 07/23/2019
Asner is a very good actor whose track record is proof that all he needs to make audiences laugh is a funny script. But his opening is much less humorous than humdrum, and the comic lightning implicit in the title fails to strike. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 07/23/2019
The new ABC sitcom might not be the worst rookie of this season, but it surely is the least inspired. The characters are walking cliches, played by a cast devoid of chemistry. Go to Full Review David Bianculli Baltimore Sun 07/23/2019
Having Ed Asner star as the grumpy grandpa sure doesn't hurt, though it hurts a little to see him in a part and show as average as this one. He could play this role in his sleep, and I could watch this show in mine. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
