Season 1 Review: After the aerobics, it's a very bland half-hour. Read full review

Alan Bunce

Season 1 Review: There are lots of these catchy one-liners, but too often they seem to be gags in search of a good home - clever quips that bounce off, rather than emerge from, their format. [24 July 1987, p.20]

Robert P. Laurence

May 13, 2014

Season 1 Review: What we've got here is a standard family sitcom, with an extra character thrown in when he's needed to move the plot along, and thrown out when he's not needed. You know, if Rin Tin Tin and Lassie could have their own TV shows, why couldn't Mike? [25 July 1987, p.C-11]

Season 1 Review: The only possible reason for tuning in to Down and Out is to watch Mike the Dog do tricks and Anita Morris do aerobics. [24 July 1987, p.C7]

Tom Shales

Season 1 Review: Even though microphones were invented some time ago, most of those in the cast have been instructed, or allowed, to shout out their lines. An old television maxim: The louder the lines are shouted, the unfunnier they probably are. Down and Out in Beverly Hills breaks no rules, least of all that one. [25 July 1987, p.B1]

Season 1 Review: I vaguely recall experiencing waves of nausea while watching Down and Out in Beverly Hills. Read full review
