GCB offers surprisingly clever dialogue and winning comedic performances. Read full review

It's one that's sharply plotted, fast-paced, with impressive performances. Read full review

Mostly, despite a title that sounds like a roofie, this is good harmless fun. Read full review

Not so much scandalous as scandalously dull. Read full review

The problem for GCB is that it hasn't yet figured out a way to be a soap that spoofs superficiality without being superficial itself. Read full review

There are some funny lines here and there, but overall, the show lacks satirical teeth. Read full review

CGB plays more like a bad parody of Desperate Housewives. Read full review

I totally loved this show because it's tacky, over-the-top and just plain fun. Because I'm a Canadian, I guess I have a larger than life view of Texas and GCB just confirms it. Sure the show is full of stereotypes, but at least they're fun stereotypes and there's lots of room for genuineI totally loved this show because it's tacky, over-the-top and just plain fun. Because I'm a Canadian, I guess I have a larger than life view of Texas and GCB just confirms it. Sure the show is full of stereotypes, but at least they're fun stereotypes and there's lots of room for genuine character development. It's not like a reality show ( Keeping Up with the Kardashians comes to mind) where you keep hoping the characters will blossoms and they just continue to flatline. This show is cleverly written and well acted. I particularly liked Leslie Bibb, Annie Potts and Kristin Chenoweth in their respective roles. Keep it up girls...I'm definitely tuning in next week.… Expand

I adore this show. Yes, it's trashy but it has intelligent dialogue. Kudos to the writers! I look forward to watching many more episodes. :D:D:D:D:D
