Orlando Sentinel Hal Boedeker

The show's traditional approach explains its appeal as well as its limits.

Entertainment Weekly Tim Stack

While watching Ozzy and Sharon was like peeking in on real-life Munsters, Run's House plays more like Full House--and feels just as dated. [14 Oct 2005, p.142]

New York Post Adam Buckman

The Rev is a lot like the rest of us. He matured and became dull.

50

Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman

This show may convince us the Simmonses are good people. But there's not much catchy drama in following the evolution of a teenager's party planning.

50

Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan

"Run's House" doesn't offer anything new to the genre.

50

Detroit Free Press Mike Duffy

"Run's House" seems to be the reality sitcom flip side of "Being Bobby Brown."

50

The New York Times Ned Martel

It may be too much a celebration of Rev Run's normalcy to be all that intriguing.

40

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Melanie McFarland

Whether audiences will find the show's consumerism-as-reward message interesting enough to keep coming back is tough to predict.

20

Newsday Diane Werts

This is pretty tedious viewing.

Hollywood Reporter Erik Pedersen

The show feels as scripted as a sitcom.

First of all, just wanted to say that I enjoy looking at this show with my husband and my daughter. People are entitled to their opinion concerning the show, but to start calling people things outside of their names is very immature and you need to grow up! Regardless of what you think of Rev. Run he is still a man of God and you have to be very careful what you say about him and his family.

I great clean hormous show for audience of all ages, commend rev dedicate his time raise his kids in the path of right with values- at the end of the day give inspiring life message( such conduct yourself like a orchestra and stay in tone)- shot out vanessa they always said" what u put in, thats what u get out". ur hardworking and positive one day ur magazine will be bigger than vogue.
