Critics Reviews

Steve Johnson Chicago Tribune It's a conventional sitcom... but it has the heart that's missing from too many contemporary shows, even ones that pretend to aim at family audiences. Jan 29, 2020 Full Review Mark Sachs Los Angeles Times The program has spent most of its first two seasons anchored solidly in the TV family's upper-middle-class home, taking fresh and funny angles on its domestic sitcom trappings. Oct 8, 2018 Full Review Will Harris Bullz-Eye.com Ultimately, it's the relationship between Michael and Jay which makes for the best comedy, and when it touches on familiar topics and scenarios, it's hilarious.
