Critic Reviews

Paige Wiser

This embarrassment of riches isn't necessarily an embarrassment, but it's not the slam dunk it should be, either. Read full review

Marisa LaScala

Sit Down, Shut Up makes jokes about nut-sacks (of the legume variety). Still, it does one thing very right, and very like the beloved Arrested Development, with talented comedians delivering gags at an exhilarating, rapid-fire pace. Read full review

Ginia Bellafante

We pay close attention to Sit Down, Shut Up, an occasionally quite funny but largely anodyne animated comedy beginning Sunday on Fox, because it comes from the pen of Mitchell Hurwitz, creator of “Arrested Development." Read full review

Robert Lloyd

The show that premieres Sunday night, between "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy" in the space formerly occupied by "King of the Hill," is weak--not hopeless, but given the pedigree, heavily disappointing. Read full review

Robert Bianco

If you want to get away with being offensive on TV, you have to be awfully funny, and Sit Down gets much closer to "awful" than it ever does to "funny." Read full review

Daniel Carlson

Every joke is telegraphed a mile off or just plain flat, especially the attempts to break the fourth wall. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

Staleness, however, ranks as a virtue in Sit Down, Shut Up, for the show's token stabs at topicality are truly appalling. Read full review

Non-Stop fun occurs in laugh-filled take on high school. The Arrested Development cast lend their voices brilliantly whilst other voice talent such as Kristin Chenoweth & Kenan Thompson are perfectly fit for it.

I don't understand how people can judge this show so harshly. It's only on the third episode, and I hear it may already be canceled, which would be a shame, considering that King of the Hill is still on the air, and in 14 years I haven't laughed at that show once.

I mean, thinking about what the new FOX sunday will be, an hour and a half of Seth MacFarlane is going to get pretty tiring, and Simsons is well past its prime. They need new blood. Please save this show.… Expand
