Mike Binder’s a funny guy. His series, by most accounts, is not. You know, like “Arli$$.” It premieres at 10 p.m. on HBO.

TV Guide says:

Debut: Comic Mike Binder created and stars in a sitcom that looks at relationships from a male point of view. Binder plays Micky Barnes, a fortysomething Chicago newspaper columnist with a reporter wife named Donna (Sonya Walger) and an infant son. Micky regularly seeks advice from his two best friends, co-workers who couldn't be more different: Doug (Taylor Nichols) is a devoted, if slightly geeky, husband and father; Jake (Jake Weber) is a philandering family man skilled at rationalization. In the opener, Donna finds porn on her husband's computer; and Micky wrestles with his conscience after hiring an attractive young assistant (Ivana Milicevic).

The Hollywood Reporter says:

With its liberal use of blunt language and its preoccupation with sex, "The Mind of the Married Man" might seem like a perfect comedy series for HBO, maybe even the male counterpart to "Sex and the City." On closer examination, it becomes obvious that "Married Man," despite occasional flashes of recognition and insight, is far less hopeful, far more frustrated and, overall, less appealing.

Variety says:

The networks can rest a little easy right now: HBO proves that not everything they touch turns to gold with "The Mind of the Married Man," an overblown take on the sexual predilections and peccadilloes of a trio of ribald Chicago newspaper columnists. Much as it might appear to have the ambition of being a male "Sex and the City," it does not have any of that show's strengths -- character, plot, reality.

Entertainment Weekly says:

Imagine if the gals on “Sex and the City” were actually men. And really unfunny.
