Firefighter and single father Nick Savage has trouble hanging on to housekeepers. No surprise there, since he's raising five boys who don't do much of anything around the house. Nick does his best to corral his brood, but he's not above living up to his surname either.

Linda Stasi New York Post "Complete Savages" is unfortunately yet another formulaic sitcom with what sounds like yet another out of control laugh track. Rated: 2/4 Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post The boys in the cast are talented and distinctive, and make their grossness funny, which isn't easy. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Complete Savages is a standard TGIF show played broadly by a band of merry pranksters. The new sitcoms this season are so pitiful that standard could be considered a high compliment. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review People Staff People Magazine The opener offers a few laughs, as Dad refuses to hire a new housekeeper and the boys become bigger slobs than usual. But it won't be long before this show desperately needs a civilizing female presence. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel The new ABC series is aggressively and proudly stupid, populated by cliched types more than fleshed out characters. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Complete Savages is the sitcom for you, if you think trash, garbage, maggots and vermin are funny.
