Critic Reviews

Glenn Garvin

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

Verne Gay

"Crumbs" is surprisingly good. Read full review

Paul Brownfield

Feels like an indie feature idea crammed into a sitcom. Read full review

Virginia Heffernan

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. Read full review

Hal Boedeker

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

In the end, the one-note antics grow wearisome. Read full review

Stephen Kelly

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
