Season 1 Review: If all teenage boys think about is sex, sex and more sex, then the producers and writers of "life as we know it" have captured the teenage boy perfectly. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The pilot episode for "life" is really interesting; unfortunately two subsequent episodes are not as commendable. ... The direct address to the camera begins to grate, and the whole show is not different enough from teen shows of the past. [3 Oct 2004]

Chicago Sun-TimesPhil RosenthalAug 7, 2014
Season 1 Review: This should be -- pardon the expression -- a fertile area for drama. Yet it fails to bear fruit. Instead we get a string of old cliches aimed at an audience young enough that it might not notice they're old cliches. [7 Oct 2004]

Orlando SentinelHal BoedekerAug 7, 2014
Season 1 Review: All the actors do well. They can't do good, however, because they're in service of an obnoxious show. The surfaces look inviting in life as we know it, but there isn't a lot of show there. Read full review
