Critics' reviews

"A genuinely funny and immediately likable sitcom."

David Wiegand: SFGATE
"The show may have been simplified due to budgetary concerns, but that makes its core themes shine all the brighter."

AV Club
"An interesting little sitcom"

Tim Goodman: The Hollywood Reporter
"The series begins with a tenuous premise, uses it to leap to an inaccurate dichotomy and supports that with tired, unfunny stereotypes."

Neil Genzlinger: The New York Times
"The dialogue has a nice snap, the jokes come from just to the left of where you expect them to, and the players are all first-rate."

Robert Lloyd: Los Angeles Times
"You'd never accuse Suburgatory of subtlety, but it's a fun place to visit, even if you'd never want to live there. It's also a hoot."

Matt Roush: TV Guide
"'Suburgatory' displays a polished sense of humor and a better cast than it deserves, which makes it worth a look."

Hank Stuever: The Washington Post
