    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.

    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.

    I would've given lower, but I guess my 'loyalty' to Brad Garrett is keeping me from doing so. That being said, I'm I would've given lower, but I guess my 'loyalty' to Brad Garrett is keeping me from doing so. That being said, I'm incredibly disappointed in this show. I always do expect alot out of majorly hyped up shows, but this one could not have turned out worse. Brad and Joely are lovely actors to watch and have perfect comic timing but in this sitcom, they are merely laughable, (and not in a good way whatsoever) no thanks to a corny script. These fine actors deserve MUCH better than this.… Full Review »
