      2007 Comedy List
      36% Tomatometer 28 Reviews 84% Audience Score 50+ Ratings The different phases of male-female relationships are examined as seen through the eyes of young couple Adam and Jennifer. Their friends include longtime-married pair Jeff and Audrey, and a womanizing singleton named Russell. As Adam and Jennifer find out, the often-confusing stages of a relationship can seem like a ride on a roller coaster: Folks can describe it to you, but you have to take the trip for yourself to know what it's like.

      Charlie McCollum San Jose Mercury News "Rules" is a classic example of how the networks seem unable to cut themselves loose from predictable formulas in situation comedies. Apr 1, 2020 Full Review Ed Bark Uncle Barky [Patrick] Warburton's the main attraction, laying down a steady downbeat of beat-down. It's still easy to grin and bear him. But [David] Spade? Not quite so much anymore. Rated: C+ Apr 1, 2020 Full Review Ray Richmond Hollywood Reporter "Rules" is rife with attitude and snappy dialogue and the requisite mega-attractive characters. Apr 1, 2020 Full Review Will Harris Bullz-Eye.com "Rules of Engagement" has its share of laughs but it's dragged down by its shortcomings. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 1, 2020 Full Review Robert Abele L.A. Weekly The series quickly begins to resemble one of those fake sitcoms you'd see in a snide movie that likes to take easy potshots at low culture. Apr 1, 2020 Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) "Rules of Engagement" can only aspire to mediocrity. Apr 1, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      KB B This was one of my all time favorites. It's old school type comedy at it's best. Patrick Warburton and David Spade were both exceptional. It's definitely worth the watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Richard S Just a fun, silly show to watch. I found the show to be entertaining and enjoyable. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/18/23 Full Review Bill D How do these critics keep their jobs!? One of the best sitcoms ever beginning with season 3. 1 is bad and 2 is less than average. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/23 Full Review L S At least better than "How I met your Mother". Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This show cracks me up. Patrick Warburton is such a dry comic relief. Spade as the sleazy troll & his stupidity to Timmy who was a great addition. Their relationship borders on a ridiculous need for each other. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review stephen s This is truly one of the greatest shows ever. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
