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

    It's actually rather funny, broadly entertaining and blessed with a sweet screwball spirit. It's a promising farce with heart.

    "Crumbs" is surprisingly good.

    There is a dynamic of affection and caring that makes the series more than just a collection of witty lines effectively delivered.

    An offbeat show that veers between wacky and truly poignant extremes.

    Excellent 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.
