Season 1 Reviews
Variety
Brian Lowry
[Margaret] Cho is instantly appealing with her product-of-suburbia shtick, but early scripts don't provide material to define the character beyond her maternal sparring.
Los Angeles Times
Howard Rosenberg
Much of this material is supposedly based on the autobiographical stand-up act of the likable Cho, who is much longer on energy than laughs in this venue.
Entertainment Weekly
Ken Tucker
[Margaret] Cho herself is a lot more interesting than the network vehicle that's been built for her.
Washington Post
Tom Shales
Mostly what "All-American Girl" offers is not gags but humor, and what the very likable Cho contributes is perkiness and pluckiness and attitude galore.
Baltimore Sun
David Zurawik
Margaret Cho's "All-American Girl" proves that having a funny stand-up comedian as your star does not guarantee you'll have a funny sitcom.
Buffalo News
Alan Pergament
It isn't a hit, but it isn't a disaster, either.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Tom Jicha
A common initital reaction might be, "not bad."But when next week rolls around, the same people are likely to ask, "What else is on?"
Sioux City Journal
Bruce R. Miller
In ABC's continuing quest to bring every female comic to television, the network has landed Margaret Cho, an engaging Korean-American who gives ethnic humor prime-time spin.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Robert Bianco
How do you pick sides? Me, I'm picking "plus" just because, now and then, I like to act like an optimist. Isn't that the Ail-American way?
News & Observer (Raleigh, NC)
Bob Langford
It's nice to see a show about Asian-Americans. It would be nicer to see a good show about them.
