Critic Reviews

  1. Despite its 1980s ambiance, you can't simply dismiss the show. It has some genuinely funny lines, though it's not clear who to thank for that.

    Gary Unmarried is pretty much business as usual, introducing us to a dude of simple pleasures.
  3. I like Gary Unmarried. It’s like other sitcoms I’ve seen of late involving newly broken-up households (remember when the sitcom single dad was widowed instead of divorced?).
  4. 63
    The show is funny enough, and the performers and setup are solid enough to hope CBS will give this working-class comedy a little time to work.

    How cute is this blended family thing! I really love the hubby/ex/girlfriend/black guy friend/hippy dad/military brother/geeky kids circle How cute is this blended family thing! I really love the hubby/ex/girlfriend/black guy friend/hippy dad/military brother/geeky kids circle that Gary has going on. And that he's following his dream and fought so hard for it in the radio career, and that he seems to be fighting for his girl...Everyone on this show is great.... Full Review »

    The show lacks the staying power a sitcom needs at a somewhat prime time slot!
