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]

The Hollywood ReporterMiles BellerJul 23, 2013
Season 1 Review: Its sharp, wily wit will be immediately appreciable. Here is a comedy construct that hits like "The Brothers Karamazov" and plays like the brothers Marx. [25 Sep 1992]

Boston GlobeJohn KochJul 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]

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

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]

USA TodayMatt RoushJul 23, 2013
Season 1 Review: An intriguing, brainy but strangely unappealing catalog of short film pieces, the sort of nervy, smug spoofs that NBC's Saturday Night Live specializes in. [25 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review: The shaky debut has a few funny moments and more than a few duds. [24 Sep 1992]

Washington PostTom ShalesJul 23, 2013
Season 1 Review: A feeble collection of filmed sketches starring a comic clearly not ready for prime time. [26 Sep 1992]
