Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
Santa Cruz Sentinel
Michael Gaither
Enjoying Daddy Dearest really comes down to how you feel about Don Rickles -- I've always liked him.
Miami Herald
Hal Boedeker
Well, it sounded like a good idea. This is among the loudest, nastiest series this fall.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Steven Cole Smith
On paper, it must have looked funny to pair comedian Richard Lewis with Don Rickles... But the pilot is loud and only occasionally funny.
Hartford Courant
James Endrst
"Daddy Dearest" may be the most unlikeable show of the 1993-94 television season -- a prime-time series so loudly, so relentlessly in-your-face rude, obnoxious and irritating, it almost qualifies as a sadistic act of genius.
People Magazine
David Hiltbrand
The show's humor is labored. The timing and delivery of the entire cast is inappropriate and amateurish. Everyone talks too loud and walks around in a curious hunched posture, gesticulating madly.
Variety
Tony Scott
Richard Lewis and Don Rickles as Steven Mitchell and father Al Mitchell might have looked OK in the blueprint, but the initial full-blown script is broad and full of woe.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Scott D. Pierce
Fox's new sitcom is so bad - so utterly unredeemable - that it's difficult to know where to begin with a description of it.
Seattle Times
John Voorhees
This annoying sitcom pairs Don Rickles with Richard Lewis, each stand-up comic doing what he does best: Rickles insults Lewis, who alternates between guilt and anguish.
Orlando Sentinel
Greg Dawson
Daddy Dearest is long on volume and insults and short on real humor.
Chicago Tribune
Rick Kogan
Pairing Richard Lewis, that arm-waving neurotic, with Don Rickles, the insult-spouting goof, might have made for some satisfying sparks, had anyone thought to provide a plot with wit. Here the mix is an unpleasant dud.
Los Angeles Times
Howard Rosenberg
The writers of "Daddy Dearest" deserve to be whipped with a wire hanger.
Entertainment Weekly
Ken Tucker
Sitcoms don't get any more abusive than Daddy Dearest.
Washington Post
Tom Shales
Don Rickles and Richard Lewis in the same sitcom sounds like too much of a good thing. But it turns out to be much too much of a bad one.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Tom Jicha
Don Rickles likes to boast that he was doing Archie Bunker before Archie Bunker was cool. Problem is, he's still doing Archie Bunker long after it ceased being cool.
