Season 1 Review: Happily Divorced is less a sitcom than a showcase for Ms. Drescher's delightful, if somewhat time-worn, brand of schtick. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyJun 14, 2011
Season 1 Review: Happily Divorced, TV Land's third shot at a new old-style sitcom--the George Segal parents-and-son romp "Retired at 35" is the other one--tries harder than "Cleveland" and generates fewer laughs. "Happily Divorced" is not without its pleasures.[...] Okay, Drescher, who most famously starred in "The Nanny," may be an acquired taste. But if you like her combination of attitude and accent, she provides a full dose of both here. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert LloydJun 15, 2011
Season 1 Review: Once known, this fact [the series is based on the lives its creators] lends to the project an authenticity that might not otherwise be apparent, so steeped is it in the rhythms and conventions of the 20th century sitcom. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Drescher is almost as appealing as ever, but the vehicle barely passes inspection. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If you love Fran Drescher, and just the sound of her voice sends you into peals of laughter, happily settle in to enjoy her divorce. If, however, her voice makes your inner dog howl, run like your rear is on fire. Read full review

Boston GlobeMatthew GilbertJun 14, 2011
Season 1 Review: It stays old school and unambitious in order to blend in well with the classic sitcoms on TV Land's roster. The scripts are more like excuses for the stars to go on camera and ham it up than well-constructed state-of-the-art comic material. Read full review
