It seems like a harmless little diversion at this point, with Elfman and Dratch playing well off one another in a fantasy that may have enough winning moments to survive its tough-to-pull-off premise. Read full review

While Dratch infuses Mary with impressive energy, she interacts only with Alice, and the show comes off feeling lopsided as a result. [Mar 31 2017, p.57] Read full review

Elfman is good (as usual), but Alice doesn’t give her a whole lot of room to expand either. ... There’s not much more here, other than those standard sitcom garnishments, and that spunky, chatty fuzzball. Read full review

Elfman’s character brings back her imaginary friend, Mary, from her childhood to help her deal. Mary, voiced by Rachel Dratch, is not funny, just annoying, extremely so. Read full review

Despite going by a well-intentioned recipe, Imaginary Mary fails to stick any sort of landing on what it wants to say about its lead, except that she is being manipulated by a demon yeti with a personality as inconsistent as the show’s script. The entire cast--and the animators--deserve better. Read full review

Proof of how dated and hacky Imaginary Mary is will come from actually watching Imaginary Mary. Read full review

What it really needed, though, was somebody real to suggest they scrap the imaginary part. Read full review

Imaginary is an okay show; it's far from a must-watch, but it works for a lonely Saturday. The show has its funny moments, but there are not a lot of those. The cast has chemistry. The imaginary friend is cute and sometimes even funny. Jenna Elfman deserves better than this, though.

A show so incredibly bad that you have to wonder how it ever got on the air. Hey, maybe that's why? It could be a new marketing ploy: A show so bad you have to watch it to believe it. And isn't Dharma grandmother age by now?
