Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly Step by Step, it's exactly what you might expect: a sitcom as well-executed and weightless as everything else produced by what ABC... creators Thomas L. Miller and Robert L. Boyett (Full House, etc.). Rated: C Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media This family-friendly sitcom is a great choice for step-parents and step-children (or any family, really) to enjoy together. Rated: 4/5 Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Chynna B I wish I could give this zero stars, but half a star is the lowest possible rating for this system. This show teaches many horrible lessons. A character is completely character-associated. One character is too much of a Mary Sue. One character vanishes from the show, and he is never explained where he went. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
