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

    It's just about as huge a bomb as might have been expected. [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]

    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]

    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]

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

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

    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]

    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.
