Michael Slezak

Apr 6, 2016

Season 1 Review: The Real O’Neals may be soft and gooey at its center, but it’s the hard, tart outer shell that gives it its unique flavor. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

Season 1 Review: Everyone pulls their weight; the jokes land lightly. Ferguson shows stuff that "Mad Men" never let him. Galvin is solid; Shively sweetly dim; Wood, behind thick spectacles, droll. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Aside from a few riffs that don't quite work, O'Neals is proof it doesn't take a miracle to find a fresh spin on he traditional family comedy. [4 Mar 2016, p.57]

Season 1 Review: ABC made four episodes available for review. All have their moments, some of them cloying, others amusing. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

Feb 26, 2016

Season 1 Review: CBS sitcom The McCarthys covered similar ground--gay son coping with outrageous Roman Catholic family but The Real O'Neals freshens the premise with a more irreverent, fantastical approach. [29 Feb-6 Mar 2016, p.17]

Ellen Gray

Mar 1, 2016

Season 1 Review: Plimpton and Ferguson are good at not being good together, but the writing so far is uneven. If not for Galvin, who's both touching and funny as a boy who knows he likes boys but hasn't a clue where to take it from there, The Real O'Neals might be just another not-quite-real sitcom family.

Season 1 Review: The trouble is they are just normal--and not very funny. Read full review
