[Hit the Road] seems compelled to revel in sophomoric toilet humor and sex jokes. ... Hit the Road does hit some high notes with clever writing and a few laugh-out-loud moments--abetted by good chemistry between Alexander and Amy Pietz as Ken’s wife, Margie “Meg” Swallow.
-
Hit the Road is relentlessly broad and determinedly offensive. It’s also quite funny in fits and spurts, primarily when Alexander is throwing the fits and having the spurts.
-
The self-satisfied comedy can't get enough of the family name's innuendo--get it? Swallow?--nor the dull contrast between the Swallows' wholesome public image and cynical private life. They make for tiresome company. [20/27 Oct 2017, p.86]
-
Simply baffling. ... Hit the Road is like “The Partridge Family” in the upside down. While Alexander is still masterful at getting laughs, there is a cynical quality to the series that takes the fun out.
-
The concept of the family band as the un-Partridge Family isn’t terrible. The execution is. The humor is nonexistent, the raunchiness misfires, the characters are tiresome, the scripts are childish and the performances embarrassing.
-
It's very bad. ... Yes, Hit the Road is raunchy and puerile, which hardly need be damning on its own, but it's also coarse and ugly.
