    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.
