Marry Me is the rarest of commercial TV sitcoms in that it's actually funny, has two standout leads and a superb supporting cast (especially Meadows and Bucatinsky).
-
Marry Me runs a solid second to ABC’s black-ish in the informal competition for best new comedy series of the fall season. Episode 1 gets off to a terrifically inventive start, with Wilson and Marino teeing things up before further hitting their grooves apart from one another.
-
Marry Me wouldn't work without Wilson and Marino, who make Annie and Jake just cringeworthy enough to be funny.
-
There is a lot to like and there is great potential, so give it a chance and see if you want to engage with Marry Me every week.
-
Taken on its own, Marry Me offers a fast-moving, often hilarious debut episode that traffics in pop culture references as it establishes Annie as the loon and Jake as the tolerant, abiding guy who loves her.
-
Such easy chemistry early on is a positive sign for the show’s future, as is the approach of the supporting cast, which gamely attacks the small amount of material it’s given in the pilot.
-
This is definitely promise ring material.
-
Wilson might be playing Penny with a better apartment, but she’s always a delight. Marino makes for a great sparring partner, and Williams has been off our screens far too long.
-
Though I’m not in love with the idea of another sitcom in which a woman fixates on engagement rings and wedding planning, it’s impossible to resist the fluidly written, sharply performed quips and pop-culture references that are effortlessly strewn across Marry Me’s pilot episode.
-
Longtime supporting actors Marino and Wilson are dynamite front and center.
-
It doesn't stretch itself too thin working for laughs, but rather earns them genuinely.
-
The pilot for NBC's Marry Me isn't love at first sight, but there's enough potential there to expect that with time viewers may adore it.
-
At its best the show’s language is inventively and diversely funny, drawing laughs in two or three or four different ways within the space of seconds.... There are moments, though--and they come more often as the episode goes along--when the tone turns a little more earnest and brushes up against the sentimental.
-
It seems so entranced by its own cleverness that it too often crosses that socially acceptable line between self-confidence and narcissism.... Marino is instantly winning, and Wilson is a gifted comic performer who just needs to pull back a bit.
