  1. Blends Rock's signature, whip-smart irreverence with richly humorous, character-driven stories of his own adolescence to create the rare family comedy that is both hilariously honest and filled with heart.
  2. A slick 'n' grim crime procedural piled high with deadly dull cliches
  3. [A] trite little laugh-track factory.
  4. A compelling tale of ordinary people ensnared in extraordinary circumstances.
  5. Brimming with cockeyed echoes of everything from "Raising Arizona" to "King of the Hill," NBC's best new comedy since "Seinfeld" is that rare chucklehead treat: it's both wildly irreverent and blessed with a cheerful, endearingly upbeat nature.
  6. Lame storytelling and dialogue.
  7. You know you're in the presence of a fresh, original sitcom when you don't even mind the laugh track.

  8. One tasty comic treat.
  9. A gimmicky, cliched legal drama that seems to have been unearthed from 20 years ago.
  10. "Out of Practice" is that increasingly rare old-fashioned sitcom that delivers decent laughs.
  11. Besides the nifty, repressed romantic dynamic between Brennan and Booth, "Bones" has some fun with snazzy hologram visualizations of the murder victims in each case.
  12. Both fun and unexpected.
  13. Like any over-the-top, conspiracy-laced concept, "Prison Break" will only work if viewers are giddily enticed to jump aboard the Willing Suspension of Disbelief Express.
  14. An instant chucklehead classic.
  15. A spiffy new version.
