John Freeman

Season 1 Review: It's drastically different from anything I've ever seen on TV: wildly funny, scathingly sardonic and brilliantly executed. [25 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review: The best new series that few people in America are likely to watch. ... Stiller and his small cast of writer-players ... don't make fun of one thing at a time: They combine their subjects, creating rich layers of ridicule. Read full review

Howard Rosenberg

Jul 23, 2013

Season 1 Review: [A] rip-roaring, hilarious half-hour show... It ranks with HBO's "The Larry Sanders Show" as the creamy class of the new season's comedy series. Read full review

Marvin Kitman

Season 1 Review: Some of the sketches... have a surprising depth and richness. [5 Oct 1992]

John Koch

Jul 23, 2013

Season 1 Review: Stiller and company's satire, though too [TV-]oriented, is stylistically spirited and fresh. It's feisty without being nasty, and the show has an air of improvisation that plays into Stiller's easy, look-mom-I've-got-my-own-show persona. [8 Nov 1992]

Hal Boedeker

Jul 23, 2013

Season 1 Review: Ben Stiller pulls off so many inspired skits in Sunday's premiere that his series ranks as one of the fall's most promising. ... Just try to overlook the weak material. [26 Sep 1992]

Tom Shales

Jul 23, 2013

Season 1 Review: A feeble collection of filmed sketches starring a comic clearly not ready for prime time. [26 Sep 1992]
