A show that is so achingly familiar - in content, tone, stars, everything - that it's actually funny.
-
You won't be quoting lines from it over Friday morning coffee, but it is, if not good, then good enough.
-
Sometimes what should be dark comedy is just plain depressing. [8 Sep 2006, p.156]
-
"'Til Death" plays like a tired reworking of "Married ... With Children," but without the children.
-
The harsh reality is that it will be lucky to get the time it needs to figure out how to become the show it was meant to be.
-
It’s pretty easy to loathe this stuff if you like your comedy more ragged, drug-addled and confrontational. But there’s an easygoing red-state pleasantness to it too, a celebration of timeless and consoling suburban inertia.
-
The first episode is OK. Predictable. Standard. But Garrett's funny, and he and Fisher work great together.
-
The entertainment value in this otherwise rudimentary sitcom lies in watching Garrett aim for front-and-center Gleason-ness.
-
"'Til Death" seems a pretty thin concept.
-
It's not a great sitcom, not even really a good one, and the strain of trying to sell such mediocre material will no doubt get to Garrett in a few weeks, but it's still vastly better than its companion show.
-
At least [it] has possibilities and a good excuse for a giggle now and then.
-
There are occasional funny moments amid the raging comic mediocrity.
-
'Til Death takes predictable, mean-spirited turns, and Garrett acts with off-putting self-satisfaction. His Eddie is no charmer like his bumbling Robert Barone.
-
The main structural problem for the show is that neither the couples nor the contrast makes any sense.... Still, this being a comedy, the more troubling problem is that no one is funny, starting with Garrett.
-
Put it this way: Any comedy that milks multiple jokes from a character being named "Woodcock" is pretty much running on fumes.
-
Without the "Raymond" writing team behind him, Garrett's not so much unleashed as he is uninteresting.
-
"'Til Death's" Garrett, the man who made Jackie Gleason look like a disgusting manic-depressive jerk in that awful CBS movie, seems to be bringing the same unpleasant character to his first leading-man role in a sitcom.
-
Almost as soon as the sitcom begins you can feel where every joke is going to end.
-
"Arrested Development" this ain't.
-
The pilot plot... follows a well-worn path of sitcoms traceable back to when cavemen acted them out with large dinosaur bones as props.
-
It's a lame premise burdened with even lamer jokes.
-
This is probably the worst sitcom of the fall.
