Critic Reviews

Tom Shales

Season 1 Review: As superbly superior as Shannon is (a comparison to Lucille Ball, while inevitable, would not be overreaching), the whole cast shines, and not just in refracted glory. Read full review

Troy Patterson

Season 1 Review: Ding ding ding went the bell, and up went an agreeing groan, six minutes in. Perhaps this was less a judgment of Kath & Kim's general quality--it was one of the better shows we screened, or at least one of the not-as-bad. Read full review

Heather Havrilesky

Season 1 Review: Unfortunately, Blair's bratty take on Kim is repetitive and not even mildly amusing, Shannon is wonderful at her role (as always) but doesn't have much of a character to work with, and the stories are neither real enough to be relatable nor outrageous enough to flesh out a true farce. Read full review

Ellen Gray

Season 1 Review: Despite Shannon and Blair's best efforts, Kath & Kim's main characters feel like a compilation of attitudes (and wardrobes), forced into a sitcom format so tired that you'll see the plot resolution in next week's episode (not to mention most of the jokes) coming from nearly a half-hour away.

Alan Sepinwall

Season 1 Review: Kath & Kim writers, meanwhile, seem to have nothing but contempt for their heroines. Kim is willfully ignorant, rude and obnoxious in a fashion that has no redeeming qualities, and Kath is mainly an unhappy blank who lets her daughter walk all over her. Read full review

Linda Stasi

Season 1 Review: NBC's unfunny adaptation of the wildly funny Australian sitcom, is arguably the worst idea for an import from the Land Down Under since Vegemite. Read full review

Hal Boedeker

Season 1 Review: Kath & Kim features Molly Shannon, adapts an Australian hit and joins the NBC lineup at 8:30 p.m. Thursday. The results are simply dreadful. That is all. Read full review
