Critical reception

A New York Observer review described the show as "the 'Moose Murders' of sitcoms -- it won't be here past Halloween, but the recollection of its awfulness will give you untold delight for years to come."^[2] For The Washington Post, Tom Shales described Lane's character as "a nagging fussbudget who makes unreasonable demands on all those around him".^[3] TeeVee.org writer Chris Rywalt observed that Lane spoke with "one of those upper-crust anti-accent accents" on the show and added: "Once the show gets beyond the accents, it collapses humorlessly."^[4] In contrast, The New York Times gave a very positive review to the show's debut, saying it possessed the "most accomplished, high-powered cast on television."^[5]
