Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd
Season 1 Review: It's funny in its own way, smarter than most TV comedies and has a terrific cast -- all of which makes me wonder why I'm not more moved by it. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesDoug Elfman
Season 1 Review: At first blush, "Help Me Help You" looks like it will be terrible, but it's not. The actors are talented. The language and pacing are playful. Read full review
