Reception

Critical reception

A 2002 Entertainment Weekly review gave Still Standing a "D" grade. Michael Speier of Variety gave the series a negative review, commenting "yet another sitcom about dumb men and the women who love them, CBS' "Still Standing" gains little mileage out of a collection of punchlines that have turned up on every other half-hour since the dawn of time." In a more favorable review from new website SFGate, Tim Goodman said ""Still Standing" is a funny show. It's funny the way "King of Queens" is funny. It's "Becker" funny. Meaning, if you fit into a certain demographic and like your comedy a certain way—bingo—it's a smash hit for you."
