Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Ben Sutherland BBC.com The emphasis was on fun all the way, helmed by Billy Crystal on a magnificent return to form. Nov 2, 2019 Full Review Roger Ebert RogerEbert.com "No need to thank your parakeets ... You're boring." Some might have wondered if that could be said for the telecast itself this year. Nov 2, 2019 Full Review Deborah Hornblow Hartford Courant Touching moments in the inevitably long and sometimes slack broadcast came here and there.
