Ms. Martindale sucks up most of the oxygen on the show. Beau Bridges, who plays her bumbling husband, Tom, barely gets a word in edgewise. But even in the basic ensemble sitcom, Mr. Arnett’s suppressed lunacy seeps though, mostly in the inane local news reports that Nathan delivers with smoothie aplomb. It doesn’t hurt that his cameraman is J B Smoove, who was so great as Leon on “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

Someone put this baby in a corner and teach it to be smarter, fresher, and funnier. [4 Oct 2013, p.60]
-
The show suffers from the same banal characteristics of most paint-by-numbers network sitcoms.
-
The show has its moments, but almost all of them belong to Martindale.
-
It’s wearying to watch actors of this caliber try to fluff laughs out of this dreariness.
-
[The actors'] experience and timing makes the writing work better than it is written, but they are working overtime to get that to happen.
-
There’s too much talent involved to write off The Millers completely, but it’s one of those pilots only a mother--or at least, close friends and family--could genuinely love.
