    While [Danson's] old-pro timing gives the show a modest lift, "Help Me Help You" provides more of an incentive to get off the couch than to plop down on one.

    The jibes quickly wear thin and predictable, and there's simply not much to Help Me Help You.

    Danson throws himself into the role with good humor, but Help Me Help You yields little good humor.

    There's no laugh track, so maybe it's all supposed to be sophisticated and delightfully risque. But nobody will be mistaking Rushfield and Konner for Noel Coward or Oscar Wilde.

    This comedy is just not funny.

    "Help Me" is a Gobi Desert of laughs... There's a strong odor of desperation on-screen, as if the competent and seasoned actors here know they're in this for a short ride. Indeed, they are.
