Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd
Season 1 Review: While there's nothing particularly wrong with Do Not Disturb, neither is there anything so inspired as to make you leap to your feet, crying, "Yes! This is what television needs! More workplace comedies! More hotels!" Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley
Season 1 Review: It should be funny, which the new Fox workplace comedy Do Not Disturb is not. Read full review

USA TodayRobert Bianco
Season 1 Review: The result is a show that tries to be adult and titillating but just comes across as juvenile and badly paced, as if the cast were waiting for laughs they must realize won't be arriving. Read full review

Miami HeraldGlenn Garvin
Season 1 Review: Do Not Disturb is apparently trying for an upstairs/downstairs feel, but it comes across more as above-the-waist/below-the-waist. Read full review

Philadelphia Daily NewsEllen Gray
Season 1 Review: Nash is a force of nature, O'Connell a genial actor in search of something more interesting to do than leering. Together, they might want to think of checking out of Do Not Disturb. Read full review

Washington PostTom Shales
Season 1 Review: Instead of opting for the trite title, Higginbotham should have looked harder for something more novel. He could have found one suitable title right there in his own dialogue: We're thinking, of course, of "Don't Let This Happen to You." Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesMisha Davenport
Season 1 Review: Its characters annoy more than entertain, its boutique hotel setting is uninspired and its comedy just isn't funny. An early checkout from the fall season is all but guaranteed. Read full review

New York PostLinda Stasi
Season 1 Review: This series is a disturbingly unfunny bit of fluff that nonetheless manages to hit you over the head with its heavy, leaden jokes. Read full review

Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert
Season 1 Review: Do Not Disturb is a sitcom that bombards you with a whole mess of loud, stupid, obvious, politically incorrect material, hoping it will make you forget about the pervasive pointlessness. Read full review

VarietyBrian Lowry
Season 1 Review: Broad isn't automatically bad, of course, but broad and woefully unfunny are a pretty deadly combination. Read full review

NewsdayVerne Gay
Season 1 Review: Why, then, this debacle, with bad jokes, listless lines and a parade of cliches? Beats me. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan
Season 1 Review: A program so bad that it's not only unpleasant to watch, but it makes you fear for the future of network television. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterBarry Garron
Season 1 Review: This is a show that could bury the [sitcom] genre altogether. Read full review

Baltimore SunDavid Zurawik
Season 1 Review: It is both bad and offensive in its depiction of some of the workers at a small hotel. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen
Season 1 Review: A disapointing and largely laughless comedy set in an upscale New York City hotel.... Do Not Disturb? Try, Do Not Watch. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleTim Goodman
Season 1 Review: A series so bad that it's daring you to watch. Don't. Read full review
