[The pilot episode] winds up having a decent if unlikely resolution to its primary mystery. Even if it’s possible to get past the ugliness of the violence against women in the pilot, it’s hard to imagine that a procedural with such a tight focus won’t get old fast.

Dreary and dull. ... Betrayal may depict the most boring, sullen, sad-faced affair in TV history and that in itself is a betrayal of what the show promises.

The biggest problem with "so noTORIous" is that the laughs, when they come, are few and far between.

The landscape is beautiful, the stars are beautiful, but watching Hawaii is like staring at a department store window: Everyone wears cool clothes, the scene is hip and tries to look fun, but there's not much substance to any of it.

Dull and plodding, "Hunters" is no reality TV treasure.

Because the movie tries to cover too much ground, it will be incoherent for those who don't already know the story, and disappointing for those who do. Worse, it is off-key in its presentation of both minor and major passages of his life.

Flash Gordon is a victim of pedestrian scripting. Worse yet, the characters are forced to spout too much exposition that betrays what should be the characters' natural reactions.

Overcooked and preposterous to the point of being laughable.

Watching this one gave me a headache in about 17 minutes. You've been warned.

Crammed with incessant exposition and shoddy special effects akin to those in ABC’s “Once Upon a Time,” “Inhumans” disappoints from start to finish.

There's exactly one funny moment in the dreadful Fox sitcom I Hate My Teenage Daughter.

Never thought a TV comedy would leave me wistful for Silverman's NBC bomb "The Single Guy," but "In Case of Emergency" manages to do just that.

How to be a Gentleman is exactly the kind of TV comedy Johnny Drama would be thrilled to star in.

If you are a Timecop, eons can flash past in the blink of an eye. If you're watching Timecop, a mere hour can seem like an eternity. [22 Sept 1997, p.B-8]

Irritating and irredeemable, Danny is a first-class dud. [28 Sept 2001, p.36]

This comedy is just not funny.

I'll give "Unan1mous" this: At least it's more efficient than some reality shows, wasting only a half-hour of a viewer's time. But that's still 30 minutes you don't have to spend wallowing in this muck.

One of the schlockiest, most amateur series to come along in the #PeakTV era, Syfy’s Hunters delivers a mashup of a terrorist-tracking drama and alien invasion story.

The first season of Hilton's 2003 Fox series "The Simple Life" was an amusing sideshow. The World According to Paris is not nearly as entertaining. The bloom is off the Paris Hilton rose. This new show just proves she's a person no one in their right mind would spend time with in real life.

Just as awful as "Locusts" was.

Knight Rider is nothing more than car porn.

It's pretty awful.

The whole lot are a terrible example of, well, humanity, and the only reason to spend time with them is to feel superior, which most viewers probably are.

Never mind the unbelievable premise -- the way the audience is introduced to it is so strained it's painful to watch.

As for My Generation, the less said about it, the better. It's an insufferable show that could well be the season's first cancellation. And it can't come a moment too soon.

The pilot plot... follows a well-worn path of sitcoms traceable back to when cavemen acted them out with large dinosaur bones as props.

There's no need to go any further. Testees makes "Kath & Kim" look smart and savvy, a nearly impossible feat.

Besides being uninspired, "Rules" isn't all that funny.
