Critic Reviews

  1. The word the network would probably be happy to hear used to describe the show is "cute." And it is, a little. But a much more accurate description would be "disposable."

    Romijn can't be blamed for the misfire... No, one must blame the rush this unimaginative series is in. [7 Apr 2006, p.52]
  3. Romijn is quite fetching here, both in looks and performance.

    The plots take such silly turns that Pepper Dennis makes The Mary Tyler Moore Show look hard-hitting.
  5. The romantic comedy comes off as a rather charming, likable hour, thanks in large measure to a cast that gives it more than a bit of zip.
  6. For someone named Pepper, this character is awfully bland.

    Think "Ally McCouric" in a bubbly slapstick trifle that plays like David E. Kelley lite: less offensive, also less original.
