Philadelphia InquirerJonathan Storm
Season 1 Review: There's no shame in enjoying the entertainment provided by these game shows, which are a step above some of their TV competition, but if knowing all the answers in 1 vs 100 makes you feel smart, then you must be pretty stupid. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesDoug Elfman
Season 1 Review: "1 vs. 100" isn't really bad. Its only serious trouble is the pacing. In an hourlong episode, I count just 14 questions. Read full review

The New York TimesAlessandra Stanley
Season 1 Review: Prime-time game shows like “1 vs 100,” which begins tonight on NBC, are not a test of a contestant’s erudition or nerve; they are aspirational reality shows that allow ordinary Joes to go for it all in the hope of transforming their lives. Read full review
