    "While we take pleasure in the aggressive pudginess of Kim’s constantly exposed belly, an unfit midsection alone does not a half-hour comedy make."—Metromix RochesterMetromix Rochester: Kath and Kim Review (October 3, 2008)

    "The core problem with K&K is that there's no character to root for. These days, we don't need to identify with sitcom characters or even love them. (Garry Shandling and Ricky Gervais proved that, immortally.) But we do need an occasionally recognizable — if silly — human, or a compelling relationship, to keep us coming back."—EW.comEW.com: Kath and Kim Review (October 3, 2008)

    "The international markets plunge, the presidential campaign sinks to mudslinging lows and 'Kath & Kim' premieres tonight at 8:30 on NBC."—LA TimesLA Times: Kath and Kim Review (October 9, 2008)
