Suburgatory TV Show is a comedy about a single father who is doing his best to raise his 16 year old daughter Tessa in the big city. When he discovers that his daughter may be experimenting with sex, he decides the time has come to move her to a more wholesome and family oriented environment - the suburbs. But behind the beautiful homes and green lawns hide the alter ego moms, fake tans, plastic surgery, and caffine-guzzling teens who have nothing in common with Tessa. It’s a whole new world, one that makes George wonder if they haven’t jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.

San Francisco Chronicle Suburgatory is a genuinely funny and immediately likable sitcom. With good writing, an incredible cast and creative courage, you can make something that stands on its own merits David Wiegand

Slate What Surburgatory lacks in novelty, it compensates for with a steady stream of gags, splashes of nuance (and nuance's vivid opposite), the comedic flow of Ana Gasteyer and Chris Parnell as the Altmans' neighbors, and an undercurrent of sweetness. Troy Patterson

Time Yes, satirizing the suburbs is an age-old theme in entertainment, but Suburgatory feels like it's thought through what specifically there is to say about the burbs of 2011. And so far, I like the way it says it. James Poniewozik

Washington Post Suburgatory displays a polished sense of humor and a better cast than it deserves, which makes it worth a look. Hank Stuever
