100
[A] rare work of brilliance.
100
Blends Rock's signature, whip-smart irreverence with richly humorous, character-driven stories of his own adolescence to create the rare family comedy that is both hilariously honest and filled with heart.
100
Sweet but never treacly, nostalgic but never dishonest, startlingly frank about race and always painfully funny, Everybody Hates Chris is the sitcom for which the networks have been yearning for the better part of a decade.
100
It's one of the best new shows from any network this year, and is a total, almost giddy delight from start to finish.
100
A hugely likable sitcom is born.
100
With elements of "Wonder Years," "Cosby" and the "The Jeffersons," but also a spirit all its own, "Chris" is a sitcom that finally makes the family funny again.
100
It is, in short, a show about real life, as seen through the eyes of one of the funniest men in America.
90
Rock deals with a harsher teen reality than Cosby did in his Fat Albert days, but he is hitting the same universal notes of conflict, love, weirdness and strength found in close-knit families.
90
Every bit as good as the advance praise has made it out to be.
90
It easily lives up to its advance billing as the best new show of the fall season.
