I am – Hercules!!

A sitcom from writer-producers Kevin Barnett (“The Heartbreak Kid”), Chris Pappas and Michael Bernier and director-producers Peter and Bobby Farrelly (“Stuck on You,” “Fever Pitch,” “The Heartbreak Kid”), “Unhitched” tells the tale of four recently divorced friends in Boston. They are played by Craig Bierko (“Boston Legal”), Rashida Jones (“The Office”), Johnny Sneed (“The Heartbreak Kid”) and Shaun Majumder (“Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle”).

Uninspired and too frequently predictable, the project helps one understand why networks continue to ditch sitcoms in favor of reality shows, most of which come with a healthier laugh quotient than “Unhitched.”

USA Today gives it one star (out of four) and says:

… The actors do their best, but most of what they're doing is hopelessly, witlessly predictable. …

The New York Times says:

… demands simple sentience to be disliked. … expends a wrestler’s energy aiming to offend and provoke, but no amount of outrageousness can mask its conformity. …

The Los Angeles Times says:

… All in all, it is pretty thin and flat; there are jokes that work, and the cast is able, but not in the service of anything substantial. …

The Washington Post says:

… Instead of exploring the comedic and emotional potential of starting over, the show relies on stereotypes and cheap gags. … It won't take long for those who tune in to "Unhitched" to ask for an annulment. …

The Chicago Tribune says:

… just isn't particularly original or funny. …

The San Francisco Chronicle says:

… much funnier than you might expect and Fox, finally, has found a sitcom that reflects the glory years of its brand. …

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says:

Imagining the meeting that led to the creation of Fox's "Unhitched" is more fun than actually watching the show. …

The Boston Herald gives it a “C-minus” and says:

… let me add my hope that “Unhitched” turns out to be a one-night stand for Jones. She deserves better. …

The Boston Globe says:

… alas, in their politically incorrect glory, the guys forget to bring on the laughs. …

The Hollywood Reporter says:

… The cast, a pastiche of different personality types, comes together to form a smooth laugh machine. … The second episode of the series, confidently sent to critics by Fox, is just as strong, with the predicaments equally embarrassing and unpredictable in a gut-busting way. …

Variety says:

… pretty dumb and uninspired even by the standards of lower primates, for whom the show is clearly intended. Frankly, it's the kind of lame sitcom that gives scripted programming a bad name. …
