  1. In it's second season, Endings has clicked as one of prime-time's most sophisticated ensemble comedies. [28 Nov 2011, p.58]
    • People Weekly
  2. It's bright and obvious as a cartoon yet written with a clean, precise patter of jokes. It's also very well cast. [12 Dec 2011, p.45]
    • People Weekly
  3. This show dilutes Paul Fisher's personality. [23 Jan 2012, p.42]
    • People Weekly
  4. This feels like an assembly line for the soul. [6 Feb 2012, p.40]
    • People Weekly
  5. The writing could use some gloss--it's Will & Grace with no grace--but Drescher still knows how to deploy her honking rasp and Higgins has exceptional comic skills. [2 Apr 2012, p.38]
    • People Weekly
  6. This is just a nice, basic reality project. [2 Apr 2012, p.40]
    • People Weekly
  7. This is always a diverting junk, but if these women actually become preoccupied with preserving their dignity, the jig is up. [30 Apr 2012, p.36]
    • People Weekly
  8. Kathy isn't a vehicle. It's a parking space. [21 May 2012, p.38]
    • People Weekly
  9. [The new women are] all promising, if too polite, to take on Ramona....Luckily, previews indicate they all end the season quaking and screaming. [11 Jun 2012, p. 44]
    • People Weekly
  10. [The mentor-judges are] so blandly polite they may as well be ordering skinny lattes at Starbucks. [18 Jun 2012, p.40]
    • People Weekly
  11. Bachelor Pad ups the ante this season with a cheesy gimmick that turns out to be ingenious. [6 Aug 2012, p.37]
    • People Weekly
  12. The show's dependable high point finds him banishing everyone from the cooking area and screaming so many bleeped words that it;s hard to track a whole sentence. [27 Sep 2012, p.43]
    • People Weekly
  13. On Masterchef, he's more considerate.... The true terror is fellow judge Joe Bastianich. [27 Aug 2012, p.43]
    • People Weekly
  14. They all work hard at being catty, as reality format demands, but the snideness is forced. [3 Sep 2012, p.40]
    • People Weekly
  15. Cosmetically frozen and emotionally infantile. [17 Sep 2012, p.40]
    • People Weekly
  16. The show consists mostly of cheap re-creations of cases in which a marriage is undone by infidelity--and murder. [10 Sep 2012, p.40]
    • People Weekly
  17. The sitcom banter is actually delectable: zingy and absurd. [8 Oct 2012, p.57]
    • People Weekly
  18. Revenge's second season recaptured its melodramatic mojo after a muddled month. [12 Nov 2012, p.39]
    • People Weekly
  19. The endless sex jokes, most of them uttered expertly by deadpan Dennings to bubbly Behrs, are a pain. [12 Nov 2012, p.45]
    • People Weekly
  20. It's still a great cast, but there's a whiff of baffled frustration. [26 Nov 2012, p.44]
    • People Weekly
  21. It's lighter, smaller--West Condo!--but still a pleasure. [17 Dec 2012, p.37]
    • People Weekly
  22. We waste a lot of time on her gigs--not unusual for this kind of show, but we've seen it time after time. [14 Jan 2013, p.52]
    • People Weekly
  23. If sparks (and ratings) weren't flying, what matters most id Delany's satisfyingly forthright portrayal of a woman who trusts her intellect and instinct. [18 Mar 2013, p.42]
    • People Weekly
  24. This likable silly series has entertainment value. [8 Apr 2013, p.42]
    • People Weekly
  25. Imagine Twin Peaks for preteens.
  26. The writing undercuts a talented cast. ... Still, this is a decent kind of sitcom.
  27. An uninvolving melodrama with a large undifferentiated cast.
  28. Contrived? And then some. But it's shot with the kind of So-Flo art deco shine we haven't seen since Miami Vice.
  29. A crackling good British police procedural. ... The British accents and idioms can get dense, but don't let that throw you, you dozy punter.
  30. The show's comically choreographed mayhem is a difficult premise to sustain, like trying to stage a big bumper-car pileup again and again. So be sure to watch—and tape—this week's pilot directed by Lynch. It's a doozy.
