    what a waste of the always funny Rachel Dratch, show deserves to be canceled as punishment for not featuring Rachel Dratch in person. You idiots.

    I have watched the premiere of this show and I absolutely love it it's hilarious and heartwarming just brilliant I loved Mary's naughtiness she was just too cute it's a great family show I just don't recommend it for the youngest of kids due to swearing sexual jokes and. They just may not get it but I love it and I say watch it

    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?

    It's a crime that this show got cancelled. I mean, yeah, It was bad, but for some reason the little f-ckers make me laugh. 10/10 I highly reccomend it if you are a person.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The show feels like it’s made up of pieces from several different jigsaw puzzles, the tabs jammed into the blanks with zero regard for compatibility. The result is a mishmash of tones, styles, and themes that’s about as appealing as Mary’s original, noseless-mini-yeti-with-a-good-dental-plan design.
