VarietyBrian Lowry
Season 1 Review: The absurdity of watching the band engage in an escalating feud with a rival trio of kid performers is genuinely chuckleworthy, and the series' rough edges seem well suited to its latenight IFC berth. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There's definitely some amusing moments but the show will have limited appeal. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd
Season 1 Review: Their TV show, which might make the band more famous than its music, is lightweight, sometimes flat and sometimes embarrassing, with none of the deadpan brilliance of "Flight of the Conchords" or the sophisticated sitcomedy of the late “The Chris Isaak Show.” Read full review
