Ken Tucker

Modest but terrific, uncool but charming, this ain't According to Jim: Give it a try. Read full review

Robert Bianco

Suburbia isn't the worst show you've ever seen. It may not even be the worst show you could watch tonight in this time slot. But it is among the least-memorable. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

Most painful are the scenes of Steve and Anne with their daughter, Courtney (G Hannelius). They’re overacted, unfunny and, like much of the rest of the show, full of annoying cliches. Read full review

Ellen Gray

Surviving Suburbia starts out weak and declines rapidly. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Tim Goodman

It's a hackfest of cliches and obvious, unfunny jokes about kids and neighbors and marriage, with multiple cameras, a smothering laugh track, precocious kids and a salty but loving wife. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

Why anybody is paying the writers and cast of Surviving Suburbia for what is essentially an amateur-hour production is just one more of those eternal television mysteries. Read full review
