Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
John Carman
The show is shameless with its smarmy "aaaw" moments, many of them involving the deceased mom.
Entertainment Weekly
Ken Tucker
While I respect the allure of a good paycheck, it's still hard to understand why [Jonathan] Katz, and [Bob] Saget settled for this self-conscious show, with its chatter and fuss over what makes a "good" parent.
Variety
Carole Horst
Cast is fine, and [Raising Dad] shows some promise.
San Francisco Chronicle
Tim Goodman
Raising Dad is completely unwatchable.
Chicago Tribune
Steve Johnson
Although you can feel this show wanting to have more of an edge, it always settles for those comfortably numbing sitcom rhythms.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Seattle Post-Intelligencer Staff
The cast is pleasant, and the writing is inoffensive. Its biggest fault is a blandness that makes vanilla seem exotic
Los Angeles Times
Howard Rosenberg
The IQ gap is vast, though, and never more evident than at the end of Raising Dad, when it's time to suspend attempts at comedy and get all maudlin about Mom and forgive Dad for being so infantile.
Buffalo News
Alan Pergament
Teachers shouldn't be as dull and boring as [Bob] Saget's character.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Rob Owen
In a season of surprisingly decent pilots, Raising Dad is one of the worst.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Tom Jicha
[Bob] Saget, who is described by colleagues as one of the funniest guys in the business, deserves better than this. So does the audience.
