• "I will admit there is some good in the series. Pat Harrington is a scene-stealer and undoubtedly the funniest guy on the show. Valerie Bertinelli and Mackenzie Phillips are both fine actresses who would, eventually, grow into their own. If I'd started with a later season, I might not have ended up as disappointed. In this first season the cast looks uncomfortable and stiff, but after watching the reunion show clips (included in the bonus features) I found myself smiling at scenes from later in the run."—Cynthia BorisDVD Verdict: One Day at a Time Season One
• "...film historians who watch this show will see a faux feminism... Ann wears her insecurity and indecisiveness on her sleeve, chooses her course of action based on "gut feelings," and, despite her stated goal of wanting to live on her own and make her own decisions for the first time in her life, keeps talking about how good it is to have a man around the house."—James PlathDVD Town.com: One Day at a Time Season One DVD
