Tim Goodman

With elements of "Wonder Years," "Cosby" and the "The Jeffersons," but also a spirit all its own, "Chris" is a sitcom that finally makes the family funny again. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

Sweet but never treacly, nostalgic but never dishonest, startlingly frank about race and always painfully funny, Everybody Hates Chris is the sitcom for which the networks have been yearning for the better part of a decade. Read full review

Barry Garron

Much of the charm in this show, as well as the humor, comes from Rock's ability to vanquish political correctness in favor of a candid but affectionate look at the past. Read full review

Heather Havrilesky

The kid is funny, the mom is funny, the dad is funny, the stories are funny, and Rock's voice-over is fantastic. Read full review

Rob Owen

Linda Stasi

What's missing here are the big laughs, despite Rock's clever narration. Read full review
