    The sextet wonders why they've all been drawn to the same farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. The answer is obvious: to give us several good laughs with which to end the weekend. [19 Sep 1992]

    This would just be another substandard sitcom, if not for its alarmingly sexist bent.

    As a concept, "Woops!" has satirical possibilities. But they aren't realized in the premiere.

    Tries hard to be wacky and blandly goofy but misfired jokes outnumber the few laughs. [5 Sep 1992]

    Hey, I like laughing at the apocalypse as much as the next guy, but from its title on down, Woops! is depressingly timid, displaying far too little of the Fox network's time-honored tastelessness.

    In messages delivered with ball-peen bluntness, the sextet talk of creating ''a new and better world'' from scratch. The only thing better about this one is there's no TV, no Woops! [25 Sep 1992]

    Dismissable, easily missable tripe. ... The rural setting and the isolated characters suggest a cross between "Green Acres" and "Gilligan's Island." But the show isn't quite as wittily sophisticated as that would imply. [26 Sep 1992]

    Something is missing in "Woops!," besides a second joke. ... It could have been the funniest show in the world, if there was a nuclear war, really, and this was the only one show left. "Woops!" is moronic on so many levels. [5 Oct 1992]
