  1. This TV movie is bloated with additional storylines and loses the joy of the original. ... Be prepared to fast-forward--a lot.
  2. Andy Cohen is a good choice to host this dopey show, because he fairly exudes cheesiness.
  3. The first hour spends so much time setting things up it may not have been indicative of what's to come. But the drama needs to ramp up quickly if this is going to have any chance at all.
  4. This is a show about a town filled with people who have supernatural powers, and yet its greatest power is to bore its viewers into TV-induced comas.
  5. Roadies is so convinced it's clever that it feels like it's talking down to us. It feels forced.
  6. The most disturbing thing about Wicked City is that it's not unusual. It's not original. It's not particularly interesting. It's just the latest series driven by violence against women.
  7. It's all predictable, syrupy and--at times--just downright stupid. Among the worst moments is the appearance of Parton herself.
  8. It's lavish, multi-racial and a bit of a confusing mess.
  9. It's chaotic, sometimes almost incoherent. Wildly inconsistent, it veers from dark drama to lighthearted fun.
  10. There's nothing even slightly new or original about Kevin Can Wait. It's comedy-by-the-numbers aimed at a broad, undiscerning audience.
  11. There are worse things on TV than Conviction, but this is a waste of time and talent.
  12. If you turn off your brain, this isn't the worst way you can spend an hour. But it's not a particularly good show.
  13. Yes, it's a soap opera. But if this is "character driven," well, it's worth noting that none of the characters (or the situations) seem the least bit believable.
  14. Crude comedy can be funny, but this is lots of crude and almost nothing in the way of comedy. Repeatedly dropping f-bombs doesn't make Vice Principals anything but lame. Neal and Lee are childish idiots, sure, but they're not amusing.
  15. The action sequences are cool. Unbelievable, but cool. Fast forward through the rest of this drivel and just watch those, if you must.
  16. Something like this has to be gripping, and Containment is anything but.
  17. So, yeah, poop and pee jokes. Not funny. Not clever. Not worth watching.
  18. Iron Fist isn't dreadful, but it's certainly not good. There are a lot better things to watch (many on Netflix) than waste your time on this.
  19. Kicking & Screaming is a waste of an hour of TV time that needs to be voted off the schedule as quickly as possible.
  20. The new Uncle Buck has a lot in common with the old version. They both, well, suck. ABC's sitcom is not funny. It's unoriginal and tedious.
  21. This series recycles just about every TV medical drama cliché you can imagine. It's not just that it's predictable, but it's utterly unbelievable. And all attempts to make it quirky and delightful just make it lame and dumb.
  22. The only explosion in Friends from College is that the entire eight-episode series is a stink bomb. It's crude, predictable and stupid.
  23. Trite, shallow and completely unbelievable.
  24. Meandering, unfocused and unfunny. ... It's terrible. Don't waste your time.
  25. Notorious is populated by unpleasant, self-absorbed characters, some of whom are murderers. ... Their chemistry is forced. And, like the rest of Notorious, it fizzles. This is certainly a candidate to be the first show canceled this fall.
  26. Pitch feels phony from the get-go. The characters are caricatures. The premise is ludicrous. And the Big Plot Twist is manipulative, derivative and gob-smackingly stupid.
  27. It's utter nonsense. Mind-numbingly stupid. Worse yet, it's a bore.
  28. This show is just plain awful. A wasted half-hour of your life you'll never get back.
