    Watching Tom Rhodes primp his way through Monday's debut of "Mr. Rhodes," a new sitcom on NBC, you may be excused for wondering, "How come I, (your name here), mild-mannered (your occupation here), don't have a starring role in a television series?" [23 Sep 1996, p.3C]

    The most annoying presence yet in a fall season full of saddle burrs, Mr. Rhodes is classroom claptrap of the lowest order. [23 Sep 1996]

    They have loaded up the show with plenty of sexual innuendo and slapstick humor, all of it second-rate and instantly tiresome. Rhodes himself has a style of delivery about half a beat behind the action that on TV comes across like a soundtrack always out of synch.
