Friends With... may be more insulting than usual coming after a nine-year series that was better by some measure in retreading the same material.
April 02, 2014
This comedy attempts to replicate the "How I Met Your Mother" formula-- the comeback of a young actor, a group of friends that includes some long-term couples etc.-- but fails miserably.
March 31, 2014
A disappointing new sitcom.

For now it's pretty much something you wouldn't wish on your best friends.
March 31, 2014
A generic three-camera sitcom that attempts to capture the lightning in a bottle that was Friends. However, its whitewashed cast, conventional jokes and unoriginal premise keep it from being anything other than another failed copycat.
March 31, 2014
The show seems to have little to say. It probably won't make many new friends.
April 15, 2014
It's a telling thing when the most clever thing about a new show is its title.
April 15, 2014
Bawdy but bland sitcom recalls other, better ensembles.
March 31, 2014
The cast feels solid, and likable, jelling swiftly.
March 31, 2014
The humor is decidedly caustic and surprisingly smutty. This might work as a cable comedy, where they could be explicit. On a network, it just seems insolently self-satisfied.
