Eels - Man Up



    The series received negative reviews, based on Metacritic's overall index, which placed the series at 37 out of 100.
The Hollywood Reporter's Tim Goodman noted that the actors are just saddled in this sitcom world of limited potential, adding "How long can they play this joke?" and concluded that "Isn’t it really time to let go of stereotypes and clichés and maybe write a sitcom that has more to joke about than one thing over and over again?"
    JAM! gave the series a "Thumbs Down," noting that "...if you're pining for the next great male sitcom, this isn't it."
    Variety's Brian Lowry noted that "...it'll take more than sociology to pump up this stale sitcom."
    The Oregonian's Kristi Turnquist called the show "Unfunny" in her short review.
     Sexy or Sexism Campaign users gave the show a failing grade, saying that it fails on all levels of gender equity, is potentially harmful and should be pulled off the air immediately.
