Extended Family: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) John Anderson Wall Street Journal A network situation comedy that is genuinely funny doesn’t come along every weeknight at 8:30, or most weeknights at 8:30, and even if the producers passed on the most obvious title—“Post-Modern Family”—their new Extended Family has legs. Dec 29, 2023 Full Review Extended Family: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter There’s enough here to possibly check back in on Extended Family in the future, but I probably won’t remember to. Dec 22, 2023 Full Review Extended Family: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media While this challenges some common cliches about divorce, Exended Family lacks the sharp writing necessary to deliver well-crafted punch lines, which keeps the series from reaching its full potential. Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Extended Family: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Dustin Rowles Pajiba It pairs well with the thoroughly mediocre Night Court and is an occasionally welcome respite from a television landscape largely dominated by serious dramas and reality television. It’s no Scrubs, or even Scrubs 2.0, but it amiably passes the time. Jan 18, 2024 Full Review Extended Family: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Jesse Hassenger The Daily Beast Extended Family is the kind of project that desperately needs its stars to power through and attempt to drown out its creakiness. Jan 2, 2024 Full Review Extended Family: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Joel Keller Decider Extended Family is an example of a sitcom that just doesn’t work, despite all of the talent and experience in front of and behind the camera.

y y This show is easily one of the more enjoyable family comedies available currently in my view. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review Van S Not funny at all. Jokes are lame and I’ve watched 4 or 5 episodes now trying to give it a fair chance. Done. Changing the channel and not going back. I’ll be real surprised if this show makes it. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Beth B How did the execs at NBC let the pilot air before hiring better writers? I'm a fan of Cryer and Faison and was looking forward to the premiere. The pilot wasn't good. But I came back and watched two more episodes that made me frown not laugh. It could be a good show with a great cast but it's not. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/08/24 Full Review D H What is wrong with people? I’m so confused as the low score of the reviews! This is one of the funniest sitcoms we’ve had. Unless there’s vampires, evil or zombies, these shows don’t stand a chance- I actually laugh every 30 secs as the one liners are hilarious. Cryer is one of my favorite actors and the chemistry among all them is just spot on. Please give the show a chance and watch a few episodes before making judgement. ONE OF BESTl SHOWS ON!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Jonathan F I created this account just to complain about how awful this show is. I love both Faison and Cryer in basically every other project they’ve been in. This show watches like paint drying. It feels like it was rushed out the door (it wasn’t), every episode and character is easily forgettable, and I never found myself even smiling at any of the jokes. I can’t believe we lost out on bangers like American Auto and Grand Crew for this. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Crystal H This is a light hearted, family friendly show that is quite funny and relatable. I like the banter between Jon Cryer and Donald Faison. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
