Entertainment WeeklyJeff JensenMar 28, 2014
Season 1 Review: The series needs more brains--and more authenticity. Read full review

Uncle BarkyEd BarkMar 4, 2014
Season 1 Review: Williams and Lopez are certainly capable of churning this stuff out and cashing in before the Hollywood sun sets on them. Just don’t expect much, if any, craftsmanship. Read full review

The A.V. ClubPhil Dyess-NugentMar 4, 2014
Season 1 Review: It smells like something that’s been tested in focus groups to within an inch of its life. Read full review

NewsdayDiane WertsMar 3, 2014
Season 1 Review: There's no authentic life to Saint George beyond the setup/joke/laugh formula and its witless, gamy punchlines. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert LloydMar 6, 2014
Season 1 Review: It's in the fleeting moments that the characters demonstrate affection for each other that the show hints at the better show it might become--as when (Anglo) ex-wife (Jenn Lyon) begins to help George dye his hair for a night in the dating pool. But then comedy intrudes, and she exits, stage right. Read full review

Philadelphia Daily NewsEllen GrayMar 5, 2014
Season 1 Review: Like many a sitcom male, he may have outsized expectations. Based on the penis- and fat-joke-ridden pilot--titled "Won't Get Fooled Again"--I'm keeping mine pretty low. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenMar 5, 2014
Season 1 Review: George Lopez’s Saint George [is], another mediocre, three-camera sitcom with nothing new to say. Read full review

New York PostMichael StarrMar 3, 2014
Season 1 Review: The sitcom is cookie-cutter and one-dimensional--with thinly written characters and, most notably, a hyperactive laugh track that’s really grating. Read full review

The Lincoln Journal StarJeff KorbelikMar 27, 2014
Season 1 Review: The punchlines are predictable, with jokes about weight, graying hair and sexting. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterAllison KeeneMar 6, 2014
Season 1 Review: While most of the interactions feel canned, or are just cheap jokes about Anglo versus Mexican culture, there are occasionally a few moments that break forth with genuine humor, mostly thanks to Trejo and Zayas. Read full review

The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerMar 5, 2014
Season 1 Review: George’s mother (Olga Merediz), the show’s only amusing character, asks him in the premiere. “You’re fat, boring and stupid.” Two of those, at least, apply to this show. Read full review

VarietyBrian LowryMar 5, 2014
Season 1 Review: Grading strictly in terms of comedy, there aren’t enough laughs here to overpower a kitten, much less slay a dragon. Read full review

Season 1 Review: I had my bags packed by the first commercial break. Read full review

Washington PostHank StueverMar 5, 2014
Season 1 Review: The number of penis jokes are but one indication that Saint George is only concerned with making sure that everyone in America has an equal opportunity at making terrible television. Read full review
