IndieWireBen TraversApr 20, 2016
Season 1 Review: So even while Time Traveling Bong may not rank with the elite of its genres' predecessors, there's actually nothing quite like it. And there's something magical about how the slight miniseries still finds a way to come across as ludicrously fun, rather than being weighed down by its overarching commentary. Read full review

The A.V. ClubDennis PerkinsApr 20, 2016
Season 1 Review: Time Traveling Bong is, as its title and premise suggest, an essentially disposable goof of an event. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert LloydApr 20, 2016
Season 1 Review: Though satirical points are made--about gender roles and race, about progress, the lack of progress and the wrong kind of progress--the humor overall is goofy (and gooey), a kind of Mel Brooks romp for the 20-teens, minor but sweet. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If Time Traveling Bong isn’t as laugh-out-loud funny as Broad City, it has its own, more whimsical and laid-back charms. It’s a nice way to end a few evenings, by sitting back and watching two likable people light up for adventure. Read full review

We Got This CoveredMitchel BroussardApr 20, 2016
Season 1 Review: It’s not quite as refined as Broad City but, like that show, it largely wins because it finds its own mad method of humor amidst an entirely silly premise. Read full review

The New York TimesMike HaleApr 19, 2016
Season 1 Review: Like the weed that fuels its time-travel plot, Bong, which begins on Wednesday (4/20, natch), provides a painless, quickly forgotten experience during which you may laugh for reasons that won’t be entirely clear. Read full review

The AtlanticDavid SimsApr 20, 2016
Season 1 Review: Time Traveling Bong is as silly as it sounds and makes little sense as a television event, much less one intended to celebrate the subversive joys of weed. Read full review
