Season 1 Review: 'Flying Blind' is the one gem that stands out in the Fox lineup. The first show takes off like a jet. And the second show is even better. If it's against your religion to watch Fox, this one is worth straying for. [10 Sep 1992]

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jun 10, 2013
Season 1 Review: The script crackles with fast, literate humour and deft satire of both yuppie careerists and pretentious, bohemian avant-garde types. Very adult and much more clever than the plot synopsis suggests. [5 Sep 1992]

Washington PostTom ShalesJun 10, 2013
Season 1 Review: The show seems weightless in the good sense, breezy and airborne, with a brisk and flippant style that's instantly attractive. [12 Sep 1992]

St. Louis Post-DispatchJun 10, 2013
Season 1 Review: Cleverly written by executive producer Richard Rosenstock, 'Flying Blind' displays an extraordinary amount of on-screen energy - verbal, physical and sexual - and isn't afraid to throw in an occasional obscure intellectual reference as well. [6 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review: Too often, the writing stretches for cheap shock -- gags about phallic-shaped food and not wearing undies -- when the shock of Neil's culture clash already makes perfectly audacious comedy. [11 Sep 1992]

Boston GlobeEd SiegelJun 10, 2013
Season 1 Review: This is the sleeper series of the year. It's a witty knockoff of 'Something Wild' with Tea Leoni a terrific variation of Melanie Griffith's psychotically sexy free spirit luring a straitlaced young man into a life without boundaries. Unfortunately, the young man is Corey Parker, who's about as funny as gefilte fish. [19 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review: Flying Blind tries to transplant the wackiness of old screwball comedies into series TV. The leads have chemistry, but Alicia's way-out, avant-garde world can be a drag. [12 Sep 1992]

VarietyTony ScottJun 10, 2013
Season 1 Review: An uneven opening stanza for new series 'Flying Blind,' written by exec producer Richard Rosenstock, shows that the show has possibilities, that Corey Parker has the stuff and that there are a few solid laughs still to be caught in eccentric characters. But not necessarily characters intro'd in the pilot. [11 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review: A comedy that reeks of potential. And sometimes it just reeks. [13 Sep 1992]

Chicago Sun-TimesGinny HolbertJun 10, 2013
Season 1 Review: A shallow, pretentious, unfunny new sitcom. ... Although there are some witty lines, 'Flying Blind' is trying so hard to be hip it forgets to be funny. [11 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review: Its makers must be blind to do a hype-the-hip-young-crowd sitcom about instant sex in this age of AIDS. [11 Sep 1992]
