Torkelsons is sort of a silly sounding name, but The Torkelsons is a surprisingly good new sitcom.

Utterly charming.

The Torkelsons is a disappointment not worth much mourning.

The Torkelsons hasn't got much going for it beyond an occasional glint of wit peeking through the country high jinks.

Although the premiere lacks the sort of boffo laughs channel-hoppers demand, it has a pleasant texture and characters who are full of potential-even the kids.

At a time when most sitcoms strive for a bloodless hit formula that can be endlessly repeated into syndication, The Torkelsons seems to be going on its own nerve.
June 05, 2019
A TV kid whose jokes are rooted in real feelings and family tribulation. What a concept!

What sets The Torkelsons apart, besides a name you can't get out of your head, are some things we haven't seen on prime time in a while - a female head of household and the state of Oklahoma.

Beyond its derivativeness, the show bounces disconcertingly between cheap humiliation humor and cheaper sentimentality.
