Press
In short, Mad About Alice is a great mound of steaming Woolombooloom, and insensitive to boot, because after all, there's nothing funny about divorce.
Victor Lewis-Smith, Evening Standard, 26th January 2004Mad About Alice is the worst sitcom yet made. Actually no, of course it isn't really the worst . . . what I meant to say is that Mad About Alice joins all the other bad sitcoms in the unrankable stew of worst sitcoms ever.
Caitlin Moran, The Times, 23rd January 2004
