Every year, there's at least one sitcom that takes an extremely talented cast, and wastes all that talent in an extremely disappointing series.
-
It just doesn't work. [30 Jan 2006, p.38]
-
In the end, the one-note antics grow wearisome.
-
These actors deserve better material.
-
You have no idea how much restraint I'm using not to call it "Crummy." Oops. Lost the restraint.
-
We watched a second episode of "Crumbs" just to make sure there wasn't something hilarious for you under a rock, some morsel of humor left over. Um, no.
-
Not only do you get insufferable comedy, but phony drama, too.
-
It mistakes boorishness for zaniness.
-
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.

MarkC.Mar 13, 2006Excellent show - the promos made it look corny so I was surprised I liked it so much. Something tells me it is too smart for network TV however.
