Miami HeraldGlenn Garvin
Season 1 Review: It's hard to enjoy characters in such dire need of a hard slapping. Read full review

Philadelphia Daily NewsEllen Gray
Season 1 Review: The writing's not there, and neither is anyone who can play at the level of "Christine's" Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Read full review

PopMattersBrendon Bouzard
Season 1 Review: Not at all intelligent, the show is pretty much immune to any form of legitimate criticism, and further, it will likely be gone within the first few weeks of this television season. Read full review

Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert
Season 1 Review: This is the kind of dull-witted, over-laugh-tracked, artificial sitcom that makes you wonder if the Hollywood honchos ever got the memo about the 21st century and all. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan
Season 1 Review: Ed Begley Jr shows a light touch as the ex-couple’s counselor, and not every joke on Gary Unmarried falls flat. But this show hinges on one’s ability to ignore its misogyny and on the limited appeal of Mohr. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Gary is a throwback to a time when laugh tracks were provided by evidently demented studio audiences; when one-liners were stoked with double entendres about sexual functions; when sitcoms had a beat, pace and predictability so primitive that they engaged only the reptilian part of our brains. To some viewers, this may be comfort food. To others: Hell. Read full review
