    Maybe I'm just not the target audience for this cloyingly cute romantic comedy. The humor was in short supply, overwhelmed by the saccharine dialogue and story. This could seriously use some subversive elements, otherwise it's like spending 30 minutes locked inside a Hallmark store with no escape

    I really wanted to like this show. The actors are appealing. But I was so bored during the first half of the show that I couldn't stick with it. It just seemed like a less funny and more poorly directed version of How I Met Your Mother. While the latter show went way beyond its expiration date this one seems destined to have an early one.

    Insipid, trite, drivel...these are the nice things I can say about this show. Transparent acting, desperate writing, wholly unbelievable and not the tiniest bit entertaining, smart or funny. Like seriously unfunny. If you're first in line for a Nicholas Sparks movie you might like it as both seem to believe audiences, namely women, are dumb and desperate.

    This show tries too hard to be cute. After about 15 minutes of watching this romantic sitcom with two stars that are trying extra hard to be adorable I just couldn't take it anymore and signed off. The only redeemng factor was that the show had no annoying laugh track.

    With many clichés coming straight from romantic comedy films, A to Z gets slightly cheesy at times, but Feldman and Milioti's easy chemistry makes their banter believable and, well, downright adorable.

    The writing can be smart and Feldman shows a real gift for playing neurotics whose grand flourishes will strike women as either romantic or totally creepy.

    A to Z glides, mainly because its stars, Mad Men's Ben Feldman and How I Met Your Mother's Cristin Milioti, are a flat-out great couple, with an understated screwball energy that Howard Hawks would've known what to do with.
