Critic Reviews
May 4, 2014
Season 1 Review:
What may be missing most in the TV mix is the supporting cast and behind-the-camera work that launched Griffith's acting rocket in the movie. [16 Apr 1990, p.C4]

Season 1 Review:
What it took Griffith more than two hours to achieve in the movie - finagling her way from the secretarial pool to the board room - TV's working girl (Sandra Bullock) does in 30 minutes. There seems little point in continuing after that. It's hard to imagine, or care, where the story goes from here. [15 Apr 1990, p.F1]

Season 1 Review:
Overlaying Working Girl is a subtle, cynical atmosphere of class snobbery...The writers' assumption seems to be that their viewers share their elitist values and viewpoint. [15 Apr 1990, p.TV-8]

Season 1 Review:
Bad enough that dark-haired Sandra Bullock lacks the fuzzy but tough quirkiness of Melanie Griffith's Tess. And that Nana Visitor's boss lady, a two-faced Yalie named Bryn, has none of the swagger and venomous sting of Sigourney Weaver's comic caricature...But to make matters worse, by the end of the opener these two now- conventional gals are more allies than adversaries. [16 Apr 1990, p.3D]

Season 1 Review:
The writers try to limn the blue-collar vs. white-collar struggle that gave the movie its bite, but end up sounding mushy and sentimental. [16 Apr 1990, p.11]

Season 1 Review:
[Bullock]'s not even remotely believable as a blue-collar kid. [16 Apr 1990]

Season 1 Review:
It's but an embryo of the real thing. [16 Apr 1990, p.C7]

Season 1 Review:
It wasn't much of a movie, but Griffith's dewy-eyed charm saved it. By sharp contrast, the TV version has precisely zero compensations, unless one hungers for further proof that NBC programmers are getting softer and softer in the noggin. [16 Apr 1990, p.B8]
