Critic Reviews

Ray Richmond

While it remains true there is nothing new under the sun--in this case, quite literally--the new CBS series Game Show in My Head happens to be legitimately entertaining and a kick to watch. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Everything about the show screams small potatoes -- including the $5,000 payday for successfully fulfilling a challenge--which would be fine if the execution didn't feel so stilted. As is, this lightweight diversion yields a few amusing moments thanks to the assortment of folks the two actors encounter. Read full review

Tom Shales

None of this is really funny, most of it is excruciating, and the half-hour would be entirely abominable if Craig weren't such an unruffled good sport. Read full review

Ginia Bellafante

When the pranks aren’t gross, they are just inane--or, worse, demeaning to journalists. Read full review

Linda Stasi

Not to put too fine a point on it, but you'd need rocks in your head to really love Game Show In My Head. Read full review

David Hinckley

The producers are dependent on their contestant and the kindness of baffled strangers to develop an interesting impromptu drama, and it just doesn't happen all that often. Read full review
