Yes, amigos, Luis is often laugh-out-loud funny - a clich that Fox has my permission to use in its advertising for this show.

The focus on excretory subjects makes you wonder if the show's writers aren't overdue for a tuneup at their shrinks.

None of the characters in "Watching Ellie" are particularly likable, especially Ellie herself. [15 Apr 2003]

It doesn’t feel like a comedy - because it’s not funny. [3 June 2005, p.3]

Some of the best performances seen anywhere on TV. They're all so incredible that it seems unfair to single out some and not others, but if you watch Friday Night Lights, pay close attention to Chandler, Britton and Gilford; Taylor Kitsch as beer-swilling lothario Tim Riggins; Scott Porter as the wheelchair-bound former quarterback; Brad Leland as team booster Buddy Garrity (especially him); and Jesse Plemons and Adrianne Palicki as Landry and Tyra, the school's most unlikely couple (especially them too)...Everyone on Friday Night Lights deserves an Emmy. And true to form for this great unsung show, none of them were even nominated. [5 Oct 2007, p.133]

If the makers of The Guardian can get their minds out of the men's room, this series has potential. [25 Sept 2001, p.83]

After watching the 10-hour Band of Brothers, I'm so drained by the intensity of what I have just beheld that I'm ready to declare this World War II miniseries the finest piece of work ever produced for television. [7 Sept 2001, p.117]

No pair of actors on any other show, new or old, on any network is as pleasurable to behold as these two. [1 Oct 2004]

The new "NY" shares with its "CSI" antecedents a predilection for dim laboratories and grim facial expressions. [22 Sep 2004]

About as appetizing as fried roadkill. [5 Feb 2005]
