  1. Offers only slightly more entertainment appeal than viewing a test pattern. [10 Jul 2000]

  2. [A] trite little laugh-track factory.
  3. A ho-hum traditional sitcom filled with formula banter and cliched cuteness.
  4. [A] dreadful little laugh-impaired comedy.
  5. A haphazard farce that fails to find a consistently funny groove.
  6. In terms of intelligence, wit and quality, "Desire" is a serious cut below most prime time drama series.
  7. The few good laughs in an otherwise so-so show are supplied by the slyly wigged-out Beth Lacke.
  8. This laugh-track loser pretty much wastes the not inconsiderable comic talents of Jon Cryer ("The Famous Teddy Z") and David Krumholtz ("Slums of Beverly Hills"). [6 Oct 2000, p.12D]

  9. A dopey comedy deserves a dopey assessment: Tucker sucks. Please make it go away. [2 Oct 2000, p.4E]

  10. This is entertainment? Awful.
  11. "Modern Men" feels anything but, well, modern. But in its own goofy, good-natured retro way, this old-school comedy... generates some lighthearted, if predictable grins.
  12. Alternately engaging and annoying.

    The producers must have been living in a cave when they wrote this inept, misfiring social satire.
  13. Here's an early candidate for worst miniseries of the 21st Century.
  14. Derivative supernatural schlock like this should have a stake driven through its silly storytelling heart. [9 Mar 2007]
