Season 3 Review: If this third edition of 'BB' isn't as outlandishly amusing as its predecessor ... it's certainly had its moments. Read full review

Season 4 Review: Last summer, the BB cast was full of vibrant personalities like the frisky Marcellas and yappy Josh. This summer, they're a dour, self-conscious bunch, some of whom can be made entertaining only via editing. Read full review

Season 2 Review: What's most irritating about Big Brother 2, even more annoying than its desire to titillate, is its self-importance. These people carry on as if they were locked in a momentous event rather than just a silly game show about 12 strangers struggling to live together in a secluded house for a shot at the grand prize of $500,000. [12 Jul 2001]

Season 1 Review: Offers only slightly more entertainment appeal than viewing a test pattern. [10 Jul 2000]

Terry Kelleher

Season 1 Review: Actually watching Big Brother five nights a week (total air time: 3½ hours) seems like the entertainment equivalent of enduring gavel-to-gavel convention coverage on C-SPAN. Read full review

Jonathan Darman

Jun 20, 2013

Season 1 Review: The cast is dull, the concept is lame and the house that Ikea built is cheap and creepy. The amazing thing is that a show so obviously flawed could have been the source of so much hype. [15 Jul 2000]

Season 1 Review: So far, Big Bro is a big bore. ... In devoting so many hours to amateurs, CBS reduced its prime time to bad home movies. [11 Jul 2000]

Big Brother is the kind of huff-puff summer entertainment you look for on sweaty evening nights at the cabin, and it's concept always leads potential and promise for something and or someone to make it their own. And only on some occasions does it pay off, and that's enough to keep an ear inBig Brother is the kind of huff-puff summer entertainment you look for on sweaty evening nights at the cabin, and it's concept always leads potential and promise for something and or someone to make it their own.

After watching big brother for almost 20 years this year was the final straw. Horrible cast that was completely racist and promoted by the show. Total garbage and right on par with Hollywood and the liberal bs they promote. Will never waste another minute of my life watching big brother.

How is this stupid show still going? Who even watches this crap anymore than douche young adults who want their 10 mins of spotlight?

No I don't care who is voted out, I wish whatever network allows this to continue was voted off my cable.
