Critic Reviews

Barry Garron

You get the feeling that if this show is given enough time to find its strengths and understand its characters, it could be around for quite some time. Read full review

Alessandra Stanley

"In Case of Emergency" is uneven, more antic than witty. Read full review

Hal Boedeker

In Case of Emergency puts these characters through sadistic slapstick. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Somewhere trapped inside this shrill, irritating comedy is a better show that emerges only in fleeting glimpses, amid the manic tone and Catskills-comic humor. Read full review

Paul Brownfield

Charlie McCollum

Even Fraiser, one of the critics' most favorite sitcoms ever, started w/ elements they seemed to forget about later: Daphne was almost insane at the beginning w/ all of the psychic stuff. They completely played that down later on. That said, this show seems to be starting just fine. It has funny actors, funny characters, funny situations. Given time and maybe a better timeslot, I think this sitcom could do well.… Expand
