Kansas City StarAaron BarnhartFeb 24, 2013
Season 1 Review: Less of a punchline parade than a lighthearted look at the foibles of family life, Greetings From Tucson is laced with ethnic jokes about El Caminos, pinatas and family shopping trips. [20 Sept 2002, p.E1]

NewsdayDiane WertsFeb 24, 2013
Season 1 Review: Greetings From Tucson tries the high-wire act of both avoiding and exploiting Mexican-American stereotypes, and falls flat on its back in the desert sand next to the tire swing and the El Camino. [20 Sept 2002]

Season 1 Review: Right now, it's a comedy in search of real laughs. [20 Sept 2002, p.1]

Season 1 Review: Alas, most of the humor comes straight from the formula family sitcom factory. Nice cast, stale laughs. [20 Sept 2002]

USA TodayRobert BiancoFeb 24, 2013
Season 1 Review: Tucson is sweet and inoffensive -- and almost totally unamusing. The best that can be said for the show is that it's better than the only other Latino show on network TV, ABC's George Lopez...Of course, if that were the standard, WB's sitcoms would all be classics. [19 Sept 2002]

Philadelphia InquirerJonathan StormFeb 24, 2013
Season 1 Review: Greetings From Tucson tones things down a lot between its first episode, which airs tonight, and its second episode next Friday. Tonight, everybody just screams jokes at each other, but next week we learn that the people in the family - Mexican American, Irish American and half-and-half - might actually have some real emotions. [20 Sept 2002, p.D13]

Season 1 Review: A by-the-numbers sitcom in need of more spark. [20 Sept 2002]
