People WeeklyTom GliattoDec 15, 2010
Season 1 Review: The show is cornball, but I'm willing to grant him this small, soft lob toward career rehab.

Season 1 Review: There's something bizarrely addictive about The Hasselhoffs. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Comedy of egotism only works if it's actually funny. Or put another way: He's no William Shatner. [3 Nov 2010, p.74]

NewsdayVerne GayDec 9, 2010
Season 1 Review: Nothing particularly interesting or revelatory. For this to work--at least for viewers--The Hoff needs to move past self-parody, or at least take himself seriously. He tries here, but the exercise still seems flimsy and hollow. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If only the actual action in The Hasselhoffs weren't so stagy, that tension between delusion and self-awareness might be interesting. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There's nothing fresh or original, and certainly no reason to watch this show, unless you're a fan of this ilk of staged "reality" (see "The Kardashians"). Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyDec 9, 2010
Season 1 Review: You wish them all well. But in the end, watching the Hasselhoffs isn't much more interesting than watching a mechanic rebuild the transmission on KITT. Read full review

Washington PostHank StueverDec 9, 2010
Season 1 Review: Just when psychiatrists have decided to strike narcissistic personality disorder from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (as reported last week in science journals), the Hasselhoffs make a clear case for reinstating it. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenDec 9, 2010
Season 1 Review: A&E's The Hasselhoffs is not as morally objectionable as other shows have been (think: "Hot or Not," "Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?"), but it is hands down the cheesiest, least realistic celeb-reality show ever. And mostly that's due to star David Hasselhoff's narration, which sounds like someone with no acting training trying to read dialogue. Read full review
