Season 1 Review: Broad strokes like these might be expected in a Norman Lear comedy of the '70s, but Goldberg's better instincts seem to be leading him to something subtler and more credible. [22 Sep 1982, p.4B]

Season 1 Review: There is, however, a certain warmth to the show -- maybe the openly affectionate relationship between Steve and Elyse (which grosses out daughter Mallory) -- that makes me hope that creator-writer Gary David Glodberg learns how to better translate his intriguing premise into scripts. [22 Sep 1982, p.E1]

Season 1 Review: Despite being written by producer Gary David Goldberg (one of the brighter young comedy minds in TV), the script speaks the narrow, doctrinaire language of bumber stickers. [22 Sep 1982, p.7]
