Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
With the mix of bizarre cases and believably goofy characters, I found already I never wanted the show to end. It's great stuff working on three levels at once. [17 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review:
The pilot premiere of Picket Fences is so deliciously, unpredictably enjoyable - save for one unpardonably sick scene - that it has to rate as the best new drama of the season...But the second episode, which is kicked into gear when a child discovers a body part in a jar alongside a highway, is so tastelessly remindful of the repulsive vision of "Twin Peaks" that the fear is the creators will push the series too far and kill it. [17 Sept 1992]

Season 1 Review:
Although some may find this creation of David E. Kelley, the wizard behind "L.A. Law," too weird, I think it's wonderful. [18 Sept 1992, p.1]

Season 1 Review:
The tone can be darkly comic, even nasty, also sweetly sentimental, even corny. Picket Fences is idiosyncratic, unpredictable and fun fun fun to watch. Our Town gone ga-ga. Put it this way: When in Rome ... sit back and enjoy. [18 Sept 1992, p.1D]

Season 1 Review:
A rather bent sense of humor -- woven into a nice little whodunit -- is what lifts the flawed-but-engaging premiere of Picket Fences above the ordinary, raising expectations for the future. [18 Sept 1992, p.F1]

Season 1 Review:
I'll cautiously recommend the series because I have faith in the talents of Kelley, Skerritt and Baker. [18 Sept 1992, p.63]
