Critic Reviews
Aug 10, 2014
Season 1 Review:
Hidden Hills isn't deep, but at least it's trying to be relevant to modern domestic dilemmas. In the age of sitcom blockheads and their domineering wives, that's a major accomplishment. [24 Sept 2002, p.8C]

Season 1 Review:
It sounds smarmy and cliched. But Hidden Hills is really a wry meditation on stale, overworked marriages that's both funny and insightful. [24 Sept 2002, p.E1]

Season 1 Review:
This so-so show uses the sight gag style of "Scrubs" -- visualizing a character's thoughts and fantasies -- minus the funny medical comedy's superior wit and comic smarts. [24 Sept 2002]

Season 1 Review:
The show's cast is potentially likable; once they're given a script that doesn't feel so derivative and stuck on a single note, show could blossom. [23 Sept 2002, p.22]

Season 1 Review:
The filmed series carries no laugh track, and that's merciful because there is nothing remotely funny. [24 Sept 2002, p.E1]

Season 1 Review:
Some of it works, like a jealous dream Doug (Louis) has in
next week's episode about his wife (Marshall) and the hunks working
on his water main. [24 Sept 2002, p.E1]

Season 1 Review:
Marshall, on the other hand, has been more actively responsible for her shows' demise. From "Cupid" to "Snoops" to Hidden Hills, she projects the same cold, closed persona. That may be perfect for smaller roles, but for a sitcom lead, you'd have to consider her a bad choice. [24 Sept 2002 p.3D]

Season 1 Review:
Mostly it's the story of a sex-starved, immature, lazy guy who flings dog poop into his neighbor's yard. NBC has done something similar by inflicting this show on the viewing public. [24 Sept 2002, p.C-6]
Aug 10, 2014
Season 1 Review:
Underneath the slick production effects and the affluent LA setting, there are only stale jokes and plastic people. The ads for the series promise us, "It's like your life. Only funnier." To borrow from another NBC sitcom, if that is true, just shoot me. [24 Sept 2002, p.A16]
Aug 10, 2014
Season 1 Review:
Or maybe that line just seems funny, because it's one of the few that's about anything but you-know-what. [24 Sept 2002, p.E-6]

Season 1 Review:
This series reflects the way wealthy, neurotic, overly busy and sex-obsessed TV executives and producers think America lives, in other words, the way they live. They're wrong. Most of us are not TV executives. Please let Hidden Hills be hidden for good as soon as possible. [24 Sept 2002]

Season 1 Review:
If this is comedy, who needs it? [24 Sept 2002, p.B27]
Aug 10, 2014
Season 1 Review:
Even more obnoxious, although that hardly seems possible, is NBC's Hidden Hills, a crude and unfunny comedy about suburban families. [24 Sept 2002, p.E8]
Aug 10, 2014
Season 1 Review:
This season's worst new series. [24 Sept 2002, p.F01]
Aug 10, 2014
Season 1 Review:
In the first two episodes, at least, it plays too over the top to ring true. [24 Sept 2002, p.39]
Aug 10, 2014
Season 1 Review:
Hidden Hills, yet another lame sitcom from NBC, suffers from a virus common to a few other new fall shows: hyper-narratoritis. One of the characters keeps up a pestering voice-over commentary throughout the show, making it seem less like a TV program than a phone conversation...A phone conversation with a blithering idiot, that is.

Season 1 Review:
Mother Theresa's life had more laughs than this phony bore. [24 Sept 2002, p.75]

Season 1 Review:
I hate this show...This is an awful, awful show. [24 Sept 2002, p.C08]
