USA Today

Season 1 Review: Collectively, Inconceivable seems a bit desperate and confused. Read full review

58

Entertainment Weekly

Season 1 Review: With wannabe sensational plotlines and not-at-all-sensational dialogue, Inconceivable feels duly artificial. [23 Sep 2005, p.83]

Detroit Free Press

Season 1 Review: Even with its erratic start, "Inconceivable" still manages to deliver a fair share of escapist, bun-in-the-oven fun. Read full review

Los Angeles Times

Paul Brownfield

Season 1 Review: "Inconceivable" is a much more tentative exercise than "Nip/Tuck," offering only the mildest hints of comment on the world it depicts, of affluent people going to great lengths to bear children. Read full review

Miami Herald

Season 1 Review: A strong cast... breathes life into what might otherwise be just one more tepid medical drama. Read full review

People Weekly

Season 1 Review: Does it deliver excitement? So far, no. [3 Oct 2005, p.39]

Village Voice

Season 1 Review: It's not clear yet how well the show will balance the fertility doctor's high jinks with patient scenarios. Read full review

Chicago Tribune

Season 1 Review: Too much of the setup is a sad, cheesy cross between "Grey's Anatomy" and "Nip/Tuck." Read full review

Variety

Season 1 Review: Like a test-tube baby, "Inconceivable" has the feeling of a series birthed less by passion than clinical precision. Read full review

Wall Street Journal

Nancy DeWolf Smith

Season 1 Review: Much of this is utter nonsense. Life at a real fertility clinic is certainly a lot more humdrum, with fewer sexy nurses and doctors, a lower success record and longer debates about which clients to treat. Read full review

Chicago Sun-Times

Season 1 Review: Has a lot of forced backstory writing. Read full review

30

The Hollywood Reporter

Season 1 Review: The inherent melodrama has some absorbing moments, but they're undercut by overheated dialogue and story lines that invariably bite off more than they can easily chew early on. Read full review

San Francisco Chronicle

Season 1 Review: A monumental waste of time. Read full review

20

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Season 1 Review: An often lighthearted medical show set in a Los Angeles fertility clinic, NBC's "Inconceivable" lacks the grit of "ER," the heart of "Scrubs" and the soapy shenanigans of "Grey's Anatomy," leaving an empty husk of a series. Read full review

Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Melanie McFarland

Season 1 Review: This baby doesn't look like it'll make it full term. Read full review

New York Daily News

Season 1 Review: "Inconceivable" is so sappy and syrupy, it's the sort of program that even the Lifetime or Oxygen networks might reject. Read full review

The New York Times

Virginia Heffernan

Season 1 Review: Few viewers will have the stomach to enjoy this. Read full review

Boston Globe

Matthew Gilbert

Season 1 Review: [An] intolerable piece of attention-getting TV.

Newsday

Season 1 Review: Utterly vacuous and incompetent. Read full review
