    9JKL features her husband Mark and he is a great big hunk of sunshine. I hope one day I can meet these two and we can do some things together that maybe most organized religions would not be kosher with. Get a life, religions!

    This show is so good and the writing so fresh and original that there is no doubt we'll be watching this well into 2018. You can hear it in the laughter of the crowd ... there's no way to simulate that kind of joy.    … Expand

    This season of 9JKL is a standard family sitcom that comes into its own as it learns to rely less on its premise and more on its strongest aspect: the cast. While it isn’t a gut-busting first season, the dynamic explored and developed through each episode creates a fun, relatable ensemble that brings an old concept into a modern setting.

    Everyone is far too involved in each other’s business, because that’s how sitcoms work, but the show’s screechy self-loathing makes that seem damning and toxic rather than just antic and fun.

    On the show, family hijinx ensue; out in the audience, it's more like self-lobotomies with machetes.

    This is the sort of show that could just as easily have premiered in 1997, or 1987, or 1977. ... [The] waste of talent that is most irritating about 9JKL.
