Season 1 Review:
Simply sweet, silly and innocuous. And where Hanks is one of the more talented comic actors around, Waring seems to be no more than one more journeyman performer...Macy is a capable comedian, but only Jackie Gleason is Jackie Gleason. [2 Apr 1987, p.C-11]

Season 1 Review:
Does Tartikoff think NBC got to be No. 1 with empty exercises like Nothing in Common and tattered producers like Marshall? Boy Genius must be wearing his clapping hat too tight. [2 Apr 1987, p.B9]

Season 1 Review:
Unyieldingly unfunny, Nothing in Common is dragged down by the overeager-to-please, full-court-press performance of Waring, and the tedious script by--depending on which network credit you believe--Samuro Mitzubi or Garry Marshall. [2 Apr 1987, p.C15]

Season 1 Review:
Although the series was developed by the very same Garry Marshall who also directed the movie, it's geared mostly for cheap laughs and debuts with a gaggle of jokes that could make you gag. [2 Apr 1987, p.C-12]
