From what I can tell, it’s going to be the same show every show.

Carpoolers isn’t terrible; it’s tolerable and even mildly funny at times.

Carpoolers has a certain loopy cuteness to it, but the show lacks a beating heart, some strong central figure to care about and root for.

The show doesn't aim very high. It's only a little bit more than just another network sitcom about marital conflict and about how men will be men.

At first, this new comedy about four mostly wimpy dudes seems just stupid, but some of it is decent.
50
A decent, potentially appealing cast -- one that includes Fred Goss ("Sons and Daughters"), Faith Ford and Jerry O'Connell--has to make do with ho-hum storylines and writing that lacks anything resembling real snap and imagination.

It could develop (its creator is Bruce McCulloch from "Kids in the Hall"), but right now, it's only so-so.

The best thing in the show's favor is its single-camera style and a cast that knows its way around a punchline, though these are few and far between. In general, stories are contrived and exaggerated, and they fail to deliver even a mild comedy payoff.

The carpoolers are funniest when they just sing along with the radio--not a good sign.

There's little that's surprising let alone interesting about Carpoolers despite the best efforts of an enthusiastic cast, most notably O'Connell.
