The new sitcom is formulaic, with one joke following another punctuated by a laugh track--even when the jokes aren’t funny, and many of them are not.- The Lincoln Journal Star

There’s a third storyline involving a cow. Really, I’m not kidding. These, I’m guessing will come together, at some point, but I’m not sure I’ll be willing to wait that long for the payoff.- The Lincoln Journal Star

The story sort of has a “Bourne Identity” element to it. The pilot is an eye-roller, with the main storyline featuring Bean infiltrating a survivalist camp.- The Lincoln Journal Star

It’s a family comedy, one of many on the network, that, at times, has its moments. There’s just too few of them.- The Lincoln Journal Star

Kazinsky is bland. As is the seen-it-before strained relationship between him and his “son,” an FBI agent played by Tim DeKay. The strange dynamic between twin brother and sister, however, is the reason I will give it a second chance.- The Lincoln Journal Star

P.D.'s also loud--the percussive soundtrack is headache-inducing--formulaic and predictable, not at all like "The Shield."- The Lincoln Journal Star

Inhumans is more comic book-y, with an emphasis on special effects. The target audience appears to be teenagers rather than a mass audience. The effects, though, which include a teleporting giant dog, are pretty cool.- The Lincoln Journal Star

The pilot is mildly amusing. Neither Foo, nor Hires, is as engaging as Tucker and Chan, and the chemistry between them is lacking.- The Lincoln Journal Star

The pilot's humor is juvenile, including a bunch of toilet references, although I did laugh at the baby pool turned into a large margarita. Things pick up in episode two, but not by much.- The Lincoln Journal Star
