Critic Reviews

Tom Shales

May 20, 2014

Season 1 Review: Full of snap and sass -- and actual laughs, too -- and one wonders whether it's safe to become attached to it. [9 Sept 1996, p.]

Howard Rosenberg

May 20, 2014

Season 1 Review: A funny gala of fresh, cleverly bent whimsy and endearing lightness that brings out the burlesque best in Christine Taylor, allowing her to far exceed her campy neo-Marcia in two movie revivals of "The Brady Bunch." Read full review

Robin Dougherty

Season 1 Review: In this comedy, rowdy young woman gets a job in a library, and finds she likes it. [9 Sept 1996, p.1C]

Ann Hodges

Season 1 Review: Aside from Kurtz, everything else in this makeover is about the same. That's not good.[9 Sept 1996, p.1]

Miles Beller

Season 1 Review: More manufactured silliness than genuine comedy; Party Girl is a theme in search of laughs. Once again TV borrows from a big-screen film, with Party Girl appropriating the premise of the motion picture of the same name. Yet whereas the film had a loose-limbed loopiness to it, a quirky affability that imparted to its actions something greater than the sum of its parts, the video Party Girl largely lacks wit or snap, and the effort generally amounts to a lackluster pastiche of shticky kitsch.

Lon Grahnke

Season 1 Review: Silly misadventures. [9 Sept 1996, p.39]

Chris Kaltenbach

May 20, 2014

Season 1 Review: According to the laugh track, this is one seriously funny half-hour. Obviously, it knows something I don't. This isn't a sitcom, or even a comedy with a plot; it's a series of mostly lame one-liners. It's a comedy that mistakes smirks for laughs. Bet you don't even crack a smile. [9 Sept 1996, p.6D]
