Of all the dumb shows you can watch on a Monday, here’s one more.

It's strange that the same network that airs these two stellar comedies [Modern Family & The Middle] would chose to regress and put this dreck on the air.

This might be the first TV series to shame an entire zip code.

The party may be winding down, the taps are running dry, but stupidity lasts forever.

This series looks like a sad refuge for actors down on their luck. [4 Jan 2001, p.40]

In the absence of a believable or captivating story, Wicked tries to shock, but this is broadcast commercial TV. Ryan Murphy can and does more in two minutes on basic cable than Wicked­ can achieve in an hour.

The show obvi­ously wants you to believe their characters are meant for each other, but given that this show seems to be teasing everyone with everyone else, it’s hard to take that seriously--or even be inter­ested.

You don’t ask for much logic from these Syfy schlockfests, but the story pretty much dog-paddles for two hours until its inevitable conclusion.

Whoever reads those stilted lines, it won't make a difference. These angels never take flight.

'Big Brother' ... is such a demeaning, depressing exercise that everyone involved ought to be lashed to one of the Pentagon's defective 'Star Wars' missiles and rocketed out over the Pacific, never to be heard from again, except by the sharks. [2 Aug 2000]

CBS has churned out yet another lowest-common-denominator sitcom.

CBS has wisely cast familiar faces in key roles, which gives the show a leg up given that the characters can barely pass for one-­dimensional.... There’s something comforting about the fantasy of a government task force leaping to your aid hours after a vacation takes a detour to hell.

The show displays all the sophistication you might expect from a social media that limits its statements to 140 characters. Here's a tweet from me: This show is a piece of (bleep).

The dialogue is so poor, even Tyler Perry would wince.

No one deserves to lose their job in a mess like this--except the person who created this dreck.

Calling this a train wreck makes the movie sound more fascinating than it is.

These couples are just the sort you’d dodge at the office or at a party, so why you’d want to unwind with them on your TV is NBC’s headache. Truth Be Told: Not much fun here.

Hawaii's pacing, dashes of humor and casting make this one worthy of an "aloha" - but that's a tentative hello.

Marienthal is an energetic young actor, perhaps he'll find something more worthy of his talents after this dismal sitcom's inevitable cancellation. [2 Oct 2000, p.033]

Patty is important--but she’s not Insatiable’s main dish. Strangely and crucially, her viewpoint often gets lost, ignored or brushed aside, at least in the early episodes. The focus of this dark comedy is Bob Armstrong (Dallas Roberts).

Even Bravo has too much class for this four-hour misery. ... Holmes and Donahue share some affecting moments, but the miniseries has no imagination and re-creates tabloid snapshots.

The slight sitcom has all the heft of a powder puff.

Stalker is the kind of show that will have you checking the locks on your door--and changing­ your Facebook status to “guarded­ by rabid pitbulls.”

Everyone associated with this show--with the exception of MacFarlane--deserves better.

Primeval (which has already been renewed for a fifth season) doesn't ask you to think, just to enjoy the mayhem that follows when a rampaging behemoth is set loose anywhere in the United Kingdom. It's hard to find fault with a formula like that.

The mix of humor and horror is unparalleled, and the bonds of friendship between these supernatural denizens feel authentic.

Not even a return to Sin City - the site of the most notorious, debauched entry in the franchise - can jump-start any excitement into this, the 25th season of the unscripted series.

While it isn't as tacky as the MTV hit, it does wallow in uncomfortable moments in therapy and exposes people at their most vulnerable. These couples should have checked their love handles in private.
