-
Sharp, sophisticated and laugh-out-loud funny. [3 Mar 1997]
-
Fresh, sharp and screamingly funny. [4 Mar 1997]
-
While no one would put his new show in the 'Frasier' class just yet, it's certainly a cut above the other sitcoms coming your way this week. [4 Mar 1997]
-
The nicely cast ensemble is formidable, but the driving power is the wit and freshness of the writing. It snaps, crackles and pops. [4 Mar 1997]
-
It's witty - even laugh-out-loud funny in spots - with a good cast and a good premise. [3 Mar 1997]
-
"Just Shoot Me" reminds me of the inspired ensemble work of "NewsRadio," a show most of the American viewing public ignores. It still has rough edges and tries a little too hard in tonight's episode, but some of the writing approaches the cleverness of "Frasier." [4 Mar 1997]
-
"Just Shoot Me" is Moliere compared to "Suddenly Susan" and producer Brillstein-Grey's other hit, "The Naked Truth." The writing is sharper, the targets in the worlds of fashion, journalism and TV news are hit more frequently, and it is funnier. [10 Mar 1997]
-
A promising, solidly crafted comedy series. [3 Mar 1997]
-
Spade's character... could grow quickly tiresome, but San Giacomo has a nice touch with comedy and the feminist in the halls of fashion is a promising premise. [3 Mar 1997]
-
"Just Shoot Me" has some heart and smartness, and it shows a solid sense of how to build a series. [4 Mar 1997]
-
In addition to the laughs (and Spade, in appropriately small doses, is especially funny), the opener of "Just Shoot Me" includes a touching scene between father and daughter that gives us the necessary understanding for both these characters. [4 Mar 1997]
-
Promising ... The comic timing by limber Malick and by SNL's Spade, Segal's nifty interp[retation] of Gallo, the warm self-assurance of San Giacomo and a bright premise concocted by Levitan and director MacKenzie add up to something worth checking out. [4 Mar 1997]
-
It's unlikely anyone will be racing home to watch it. What we have here is a B-minus comedy that you can take or leave. Sort of like Wings. No harm done. No chill-bumps either. [3 Mar 1997]
-
Spade... can deliver an insult with such grace and precision it's like watching Fred Astaire dance with a prop
-
Shoot's debut episode was smart, funny, and whiplash fast. ... Watching two subsequent episodes, though, I was dismayed to see how quickly Shoot deteriorated.
-
The chemistry among cast members holds enormous promise for comedy that's sometimes silly and sometimes sophisticated. [4 Mar 1997]
