John Carman San Francisco Chronicle Barely a kindly dollop of dialogue intrudes into the entire show. But producer and writer Steven Levitan ("Frasier," "The Larry Sanders Show") does have a wicked talent for sarcasm. Sep 13, 2018 Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly With this intriguing mix of people and acting styles, right off the bat you know this isn't going to be just the latest addition to TV's slew of magazine-world sitcoms. Rated: B- Sep 13, 2018 Full Review John J. O'Connor New York Times NBC's new sitcom ''Just Shoot Me''... is valiantly determined to drain laughs out of basically pathetic characters. Sep 12, 2018 Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media The series pokes fun at the fashion industry and high-society life, but it's the show's sharp-tongued wit and quick sarcasm -- both of which play to Saturday Night Live alum David Spade's strengths -- that make it one worth watching. Rated: 4/5 Sep 12, 2018 Full Review Chris Kaltenbach Baltimore Sun Too many characters quip too wise, but San Giacomo has a nice way with a line, David Spade plays a good unctuous photographer and Segal is his normal exasperating self. Sep 12, 2018 Full Review Tom Gliatto People Magazine Spade, best-known as Chris Farley's sidekick in movies like Tommy Boy, can deliver an insult with such grace and precision it's like watching Fred Astaire dance with a prop.

Brandon S Loved this show when it was new, binged it recently on Tubi and was pleasantly surprised at how well it holds up. It's still hilarious. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Kim T The cast of this show do an amazing job of bringing just shoot me to life with funny and over the top characters. David spade is the standout here as finch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/23 Full Review Audience Member From NBC comes the wacky sitcom Just Shoot Me. Season 1 follows a young idealistic journalist named Maya Gallo who goes to work for her father at his fashion magazine hoping to reconnect with him and make his magazine more socially conscous. Starring Laura San Giacomo, Enrico Colantoni, and David Spade, the show has a solid cast that has good chemistry together and delivers the fast-paced, broad comedy quite well. However, a lot of the humor is pretty lowbrow; stereotypical jokes about models and fashion, along with sexual innuendos and double entendres. Still, it's all rather tame and the heart of the show is the father/daughter relationship. Only 6 episodes, the first season of Just Shoot Me is a little rocky but lays the groundwork for a promising series. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
