Eric Deggans Tampa Bay Times Dissing shows like Party of Five and Dawson's Creek even as it steals their thunder. Mar 30, 2021 Full Review Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune The narration and pop-culture asides are fast, loose, and often very funny, especially when delivered by the sarcastic Jesse Eisenberg. Mar 30, 2021 Full Review Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic The great thing about television: With two good shows vying for your time at this hour already, you can skip this family comedy/drama with Fox attitude. Mar 27, 2021 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Get Real" is an occasionally funny show from the creator of "Parker Lewis Can't Lose." May 30, 2019 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel The characters are sufficiently fleshed out to sustain interest and the cast is first rate. Get Real will never get Emmy but there are worse ways to waste an hour. May 30, 2019 Full Review Sergio Pereira Screen Rant The comedy-drama explored the lives of the dysfunctional Green family... It only aired for 20 episodes, but there were some interesting topics discussed in that time. May 30, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
