Season 1 Review: The Millers shows what a thing of glory hear-the-laughs sitcomedy can be in the hands of masters. Read full review

USA TodayRobert BiancoOct 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: Arnett is a master of fluster, and Bridges is befuddled charm personified. The revelation, though, for those who only know her from her Emmy-winning dramatic work, is Martindale, whose comic timing rivals the best in the business. Read full review

Uncle BarkyEd BarkOct 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: There’s plenty to sustain The Millers over what could be a pretty long haul. The show has both star quality and stars who know how to work the material. Read full review

Miami HeraldGlenn GarvinOct 3, 2013
Season 1 Review: The humor is driven mostly by a relentless slapstick vulgarity, particularly concerning the flatulence and sex habits of parents. If you’ve got a high tolerance for those sorts of jokes, it is funny indeed. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMatt RoushOct 3, 2013
Season 1 Review: The dumb-laugh ratio is surprisingly high. Much of the credit goes to pros like Beau Bridges and Margo Martindale. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenOct 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: The Millers won’t be confused with highbrow entertainment but taken on its own terms and thanks to a talented trio of cast members, it’s a welcome addition to CBS’s Thursday night comedy block. Read full review

The A.V. ClubEmily VanDerWerffOct 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: [The pilot is] very much a patch job on a project that needed more than a quick fix, but the direction it takes is encouraging. Read full review

People WeeklyTom GliattoOct 11, 2013
Season 1 Review: Everyone works so hard--including Arnett, even if he never lets you see him sweat--that this comes very close to succeeding. [21 Oct 2013, p.48]
