Publish Date: September 13, 1996"Not great, not big, not lovable, maybe a blob -- but at least it ranks among the less annoying of the season's new sitcoms."
-
Mad About You (TV Series) (1992)Publish Date: September 23, 1992"It just fades into Seinfeld's shadow and lacks sufficient personality of its own."
-
Publish Date: March 4, 1992"First, the good news: It's handsome, scenic and colorful, produced with a lavish flourish rare for television. Now, the bad news: It's a rompety, clompety bore."

ALF (TV Series) (1986)Publish Date: September 22, 1986"Appreciation of 'ALF' is going to correlate directly with appetite for silliness"
-
Growing Pains (TV Series) (1985)Publish Date: September 15, 1985"ABC doesn't even know which ideas to steal."

The Golden Girls (TV Series) (1985)Publish Date: September 14, 1985"The reason it works so well is that performers and script are ideally matched; they join forces to obliterate resistance."

"The show comes off as neither authentic nor amusing, just another lame exercise in recyclery"
-
Boy Meets World (TV Series) (1993)"Sharp without being nasty and warm without being mushy...If sitcoms are a necessary evil, Boy Meets World at least manages to be as pleasant and painless as possible."
-
