  1. Offers only slightly more entertainment appeal than viewing a test pattern. [10 Jul 2000]
    • Detroit Free Press
  2. A tediously bloody bore.
    • 19 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    The producers must have been living in a cave when they wrote this inept, misfiring social satire.
  3. A tediously insipid show that is perilously low on wit, intelligence or imagination.
  4. In terms of intelligence, wit and quality, "Desire" is a serious cut below most prime time drama series.
  5. Crusading criminal prosecutor Annabeth Chase... [is] the most irritating lead character on any new drama series this fall.
  6. [A] cheesy carnival of reality TV.
  7. This is by far the least charming--the lame, leering sitcom tales of two brainiac losers (Johnny Galecki, above, and Jim Parsons) goofily smitten by the babelicious girl next door (Kaley Cuoco). It's about as witty as a pocket protector.
  8. Tell Me You Love Me is little more than an intellectually pretentious, emotionally vapid snoozer.
  9. Despite Lithgow and Tambor's capabilities, the series sags badly amid the moldy excesses of generic, over-the-top slapstick.
  10. A slick 'n' grim crime procedural piled high with deadly dull cliches
  11. [A] dreadful little laugh-impaired comedy.
  12. Derivative supernatural schlock like this should have a stake driven through its silly storytelling heart. [9 Mar 2007]

  13. This is entertainment? Awful.
  14. Here's an early candidate for worst miniseries of the 21st Century.
