Crumbs' approach to the foibles of the family, though not for the tender-hearted, is raucously funny.

Crumbs has promise. [13 Jan 2006, p.71]

It's actually rather funny, broadly entertaining and blessed with a sweet screwball spirit. It's a promising farce with heart.

"Crumbs" is surprisingly good.

There is a dynamic of affection and caring that makes the series more than just a collection of witty lines effectively delivered.
70
An offbeat show that veers between wacky and truly poignant extremes.

Feels like an indie feature idea crammed into a sitcom.

"Crumbs" is hideously overscored.... That's unfortunate, because the sappy swells detract from the series' wicked dialogue, and scenes oozing with the brand of dark, twisted humor only family can inflict upon one another.

Since the show stars all these great TV actors... the show sustains some laughs that it wouldn't otherwise be able to wring out of bad material.

"Crumbs" elicits laughs from time to time, but given the subject matter, I still think this particular story would have been better told as a comedic drama than as the occasionally dramatic comedy that it is.
