Season 1 Review: Bathroom is an apt description of the humor level and the language. [21 Sept 1998, p.1]

Season 1 Review: Stiller, a late replacement for the originally cast Jack Carter, is too crude, too crazy and too cantankerous to be tolerable in anything but the smallest doses. Doug and Carrie can take him; we can't. [21 Sept 1998, p.32]

Season 1 Review: For what seems like the hundredth time, the network's nitwitty entertainment division is trying to go the blue-collar route, but the show comes off as neither authentic nor amusing, just another lame exercise in recyclery. [21 Sept 1998, p.D01]

Season 1 Review: With appalling canards about toilet training and the heftiness of Hillary Clinton's behind, it doesn't really matter if, like Raymond, the show focuses on a family in Queens, or that stars Kevin James and Leah Remini actually project a modicum of appeal. [21 Sept 1998, p.C05]

Season 1 Review: Slightly dumb, big-hearted guy just wants to be left alone with his wife and big-screen TV. Flat writing and formula acting do little to advance such a hackneyed plot. [21 Sept 1998, p.1C]
