Linda Stasi

"Underbelly" has got some good, (no - I won't say "belly") laughs, but you've got to wonder what happens if the show's a success. Read full review

It's different, it's droll, it's quirky, it's funny. Read full review

"Underbelly" does indeed aim narrow, likely appealing only to those who are pregnant or have recent memories of it. Read full review

There's no sign of passion here; it's all awkward. Read full review

It's another one of those dismissable, disposable, oh-so-slight comedies. Read full review

This is the best new show I've seen in a very long time. Great cast, great writing....it's smart and hip and what sitcoms should be like. I hope ABC gives it a chance after screwing around with its scheduling for so long!!

I myself just found out that I'm expecting and it's just eerily funny that everything they have discussed on the show, is EXACTLY what I've been going through with my hubby...uncanny...it brings some much needed humor & perspective to the entire prospect of impending I myself just found out that I'm expecting and it's just eerily funny that everything they have discussed on the show, is EXACTLY what I've been going through with my hubby...uncanny...it brings some much needed humor & perspective to the entire prospect of impending parenthood that's for sure...I think if you haven't gone experienced it yet...some folks won't get it...but I like the quick writing & the cast is good...let's give it a fighting chance folks!… Expand

This less than mediocre sitcom has a very narrow target audience; very likely, the show even insults the target audience with one dimensional characters and boring script. It's not terrible, but I definitely won't be watching it again.
