Summary: Family is enough to drive anyone a little crazy. Children keep secrets from their parents so they won't upset them, dads leave for other women and moms try to run over dads with the car. Actually, that was the point when the Crumb family knew Mom was crazy. Estranged brothers Mitch (Fred Savage) and Jack Crumb (Eddie McClintock) reunite inFamily is enough to drive anyone a little crazy. Children keep secrets from their parents so they won't upset them, dads leave for other women and moms try to run over dads with the car. Actually, that was the point when the Crumb family knew Mom was crazy. Estranged brothers Mitch (Fred Savage) and Jack Crumb (Eddie McClintock) reunite in their small hometown to deal with their mother Suzanne(Jane Curtin), who is being released from a psychiatric country club, Cedar Hill, and has yet to discover that her ex-husband Billy (William Devane) is about to have a baby with his new girlfriend. They have issues… major issues. Central to everything is the dynamic between these two brothers; Mitch is the prodigal son who is returning home after a failed Hollywood career, and Jack is the older brother who has stayed in the confines of their small New England town to run the family business. Together for the first time as adults, this family will have to stick by one another despite their combustible relationships. Elvis (Reginald Ballard) works at Silver Hill.The creator of Caroline in the City mines his own WASP family for comic gold that's smart, funny and surprising. Starring Fred Savage (The Wonder Years), William Devane (24 and Early Edition), and Jane Curtin (two-time Emmy Award winner for Kate & Allie, SNL, 3rd Rock from the Sun) and from the producers of Smallville and One Tree Hill comes an offbeat comedy everyone can relate to. 13 Episodes ordered for the 1st season from Touchstone Television in association with Tollin/Robbins Productions.It is taped at Universal Studios Hollywood.… Expand

Critic Reviews

Glenn Garvin

Season 1 Review: Crumbs' approach to the foibles of the family, though not for the tender-hearted, is raucously funny. Read full review

Verne Gay

Season 1 Review: "Crumbs" is surprisingly good. Read full review

Paul Brownfield

Season 1 Review: Feels like an indie feature idea crammed into a sitcom. Read full review

Virginia Heffernan

Season 1 Review: Still, if it's not funny, why give "Crumbs" any attention at all? Because it's an unusual experiment: not only is the show set among a fraction of the American gentry that few would consider relatable, but it also exhibits more gravitas than any sitcom in television history.

Hal Boedeker

Season 1 Review: To its credit, Crumbs tries to go deeper in depicting conflicted characters. That, unfortunately, doesn't make this series any funnier. Read full review

Chip Crews

Season 1 Review: In the end, the one-note antics grow wearisome. Read full review

Stephen Kelly

Season 1 Review: A relentlessly unfunny mid-season replacement comedy from ABC that sucks all the fun out of dysfunction, the show could have been pitched to network execs as "Arrested Development meets Ordinary People." But it shows none of the former's wit or latter's intelligence. Read full review
