Critic Reviews
Aug 23, 2015
Season 1 Review:
While a little more crude and silly than Malcolm, Tucker isn't nearly as imaginative. [2 Oct 2000]

Season 1 Review:
For the most part, a well-chosen cast has been imprisoned in two-dimensional roles. [2 Oct 2000]

Season 1 Review:
Lame. [2 Oct 2000, p.E-7]
Aug 23, 2015
Season 1 Review:
Tucker tries to be cutting edge by doing away with the studio audience, "Malcolm" style. But sometimes the absence of a laugh track is a bad thing, for if someone shoots a comedy and nobody laughs at all, is it really a comedy? [2 Oct 2000, p.D1]

Season 1 Review:
Tucker will be lucky if viewers don't run screaming from the room. [2 Oct 2000, p.B-10]

Season 1 Review:
Tucker, despite having Katey Sagal from "Married . . . With Children" as Aunt Claire, plays as a weak copy of Malcolm. [2 Oct 2000, p.1E]

Season 1 Review:
Aside from a fleeting homage to "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers," Leon's broadly played antics are the only thing even approaching humor in this grubby half-hour that goes for style while trying mightily to emulate Fox's infinitely smarter and funnier "Malcolm in the Middle." Fat chance.

Season 1 Review:
Tucker is my candidate for the first cancellation of the fall: bad show, bad time period, bad lead-in ("Daddio"). [2 Oct 2000, p.E1]
Aug 23, 2015
Season 1 Review:
With so many terrible shows in contention, I hesitate to name
any new sitcom the absolute Worst of the Season. But if you're
looking for the show that offers the most offense while providing
the least amount of compensating comedy value, Tucker wins
in a walk. [2 Oct 2000, p.4D]

Season 1 Review:
A dopey comedy deserves a dopey assessment: Tucker sucks. Please make it go away. [2 Oct 2000, p.4E]

Season 1 Review:
Marienthal is an appealing kid and it's nice to see Sagal back at work, but this show is just a little too sex crazy and far too predictable. [2 Oct 2000, p.5F]
Aug 23, 2015
Season 1 Review:
Tucker turns adolescence into hormone hell in this raunchy effort to capitalize on the charm of "Malcolm in the Middle". [2 Oct 2000, p.4]
Aug 23, 2015
Season 1 Review:
Marienthal is an energetic young actor, perhaps he'll find something more worthy of his talents after this dismal sitcom's inevitable cancellation. [2 Oct 2000, p.033]
Aug 23, 2015
Season 1 Review:
Tasteless Tucker tuckered me out. [1 Oct 2000]
Aug 23, 2015
Season 1 Review:
Seen "Malcolm in the Middle"? It's good, right? Clever, original and fresh? Now imagine it's a tired retread, a shadow of itself. That's this shameless ripoff, which ratchets up the leer quotient and down the brains. [2 Oct 2000, p.B07]
Aug 23, 2015
Season 1 Review:
Somebody ought to show NBC programming chief Garth Ancier reruns of "The Wonder Years," so that he at least knows what a "coming of age" series really is. Heck, compared to Tucker, "Doogie Howser, M.D." was "Catcher in the Rye." [2 Oct 2000]
Aug 23, 2015
Season 1 Review:
The worst of the new season's sitcom crop, Tucker is crude, unfunny and mean-spirited. The only appropriate response is an urge to call child services and have the young star taken into custody. [2 Oct 2000, p.F1]
Aug 23, 2015
Season 1 Review:
The odious Tucker is a crude and blatant rip-off of Fox's brilliant January starter, "Malcolm in the Middle." The producers have gone to the absurd extreme of citing "My So-Called Life" as their inspiration, a pathetic ploy to avoid the obvious charge of "Malcolm" marauding. [2 Oct 2000, p.9D]
