• Review Quotes

  • "Suburbia isn't the worst show you've ever seen. It may not even be the worst show you could watch tonight in this time slot. But it is among the least-memorable. Indeed, some scenes are so badly tied together, you wonder if the staff may have forgotten the show while they were writing it."—USA TodayUSA Today: Offers Scant Charms, Stale Humor (April 5, 2009)

  • "while its cynicism about suburbia is superficially novel, the show itself is quite old-fashioned, if not old hat: lame dad, smart mom, cute child, knowing child, strange neighbor. Door here, door there, couch in the middle."—LA TimesLA Times: Review: Surviving Suburbia (April 5, 2009)
