New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley
Season 1 Review: Carpoolers, despite a few likable cast members and passable jokes, is in so much trouble, it's pulled over, on the shoulder. Read full review

NewsdayDiane Werts
Season 1 Review: Carpoolers is like a flimsy "Saturday Night Live" skit pounded home and running on beyond endurance. Actors sputter their lines, dither and whimper like some 1950s sitcom. Read full review

The New York TimesGinia Bellafante
Season 1 Review: The women here aren’t foils for male inferiority; they’re just dragging the boys down further with their alternately lazy, nutty or emasculating ways. Read full review

PopMattersDaynah Burnett
Season 1 Review: Carpoolers opted to careen straight into a gender war minefield, with stock male characters looking hapless amid a seeming pack of controlling, lazy, and deceitful women. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleTim Goodman
Season 1 Review: Mainly Carpoolers uses the cheap conceit of four guys sharing time in the car (confiding in each other, getting away from their troubles at home) to distract you from the fact this is merely another unfunny comedy of forced antics, cliched jokes and unbelievable characters.

USA TodayRobert Bianco
Season 1 Review: The show is so painfully witless and dull, your daily commute may begin to seem entertaining in comparison. Read full review

VarietyPhil Gallo
Season 1 Review: Carpoolers is shockingly dull and unfunny with Fred Goss shoehorned in an uninspiring role. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerJonathan Storm
Season 1 Review: Well, a lot of thought and money goes into advertising, and basing a show on characters that emerged from that effort and expense is no more bogus on its face than making up ridiculous excuses for human beings out of thin air, like the men in Carpoolers. Read full review
