- Alternative Character Interpretation: Some critics have expressed the opinion that Colleen is actually a terrible girlfriend/wife, and that she has made Matt's life a living hell.
- Better on DVD: The series is very continuous and self-referential, and it is hard to fully "get" it unless you start from the pilot.
- Critical Dissonance: The series is undoubtedly cheesy, but many fans enjoy the show as a lighthearted sitcom that doesn't take much investment. However, many critics denounce the show as a lazily written cookie-cutter sitcom too heavily reliant on Rule of Cute and Fanservice.
- Ensemble Dark Horse: Sophia quickly gained a large number of fans due to her deadpan personality and ability to dominate nearly everyone she meets due to her sheer intelligence. She even got her own solo showcase segment, which no other character has ever gotten.
- Heartwarming Moments:
- Jen and Greg getting their first night out since Lark was born in "Hospital Boudoir Time-Out Namaste", messing around the hospital while waiting to get Jen's cut finger stitched up.
- So Okay, It's Average: The critical consensus about the show is that although it thinks it's doing something fresh and new by presenting all four stories in sequence, it's basically just a regular sitcom that doesn't bother to thread its stories together in the usual way.
- Unintentional Period Piece: The series is soaked in mid-2010s cultural and technological references.
