Judith Whelan Sydney Morning Herald Kate & Allie has many unattractive American foibles... But there are small subtleties in the characters and plots that give the show an edge over its stablemates, making it at once more entertaining and involving for the viewer. Jun 29, 2021 Full Review Lucy Hughes-Hallett London Evening Standard I hope, and believe, that the young manage their courtships better these days. But, judging from this acute and sometimes painfully funny American comedy series, New York divorcees are still going through those horribly awkward rituals Jun 29, 2021 Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post If Kate & Allie is part of any trend, one could hope it would be a trend back toward civilized, watchable adult comedy, the kind that was abundant on television a decade ago and is woefully scarce now. Jun 29, 2021 Full Review Karl Vick Tampa Bay Times The show aims high, preferring character comedy to any more brittle, or bitter sort. It can be very funny. Jun 29, 2021 Full Review Tom Long Santa Cruz Sentinel The show has a whole lot going for it, mainly its stars. Susan St. James is always steady, but Jane Curtin can be absolutely transcendent; when she bends her phony smile around a sarcastic remark, flowers wither. Jun 29, 2021 Full Review Bill Kelley South Florida Sun-Sentinel The comedic situations spring from natural predicaments and the writers' top priority seems to be fleshing out the characters... So what's wrong? Regrettably, even paradoxically, neither Shaping Up nor Kate & Allie is funny. Jun 29, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
