New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley
Season 1 Review: It's broad, accessible comedy - the kind of show where you aren't sure what to expect, but once you sit down, you keep watching. Read full review

Boston GlobeJoanna Weiss
Season 1 Review: It’s the grade of funny this show seems to have accepted - cute, giggle-worthy, and only a smidgen dangerous. Read full review

NewsdayVerne Gay
Season 1 Review: Finding original humor in this tired old horse of a format may not only be difficult, but close to impossible. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd
Season 1 Review: Sadly, these factors [Kevin Nealon, Catherine O'Hara and puppet animation] only amplify my disappointment in what, on the basis of one episode and a handful of clips, looks to be a weak and wheezy show. Read full review

New York PostMichael Starr

The Hollywood ReporterRandee Dawn
Season 1 Review: But ignore the stilted jokes, the limp characterization, the complete lack of "re-imagining" of anything. Just understand this: Martin is an animated show with a laugh track. Read full review

The New York TimesMike Hale
Season 1 Review: The overall concept is so tired and the execution, despite the overlay of gross-out humor, so hackneyed that we could just as well be watching something from Mr. Eisner’s early career as a chief executive. Read full review
