Reception[edit]
Do you need a time slot for the louvre painting. Greg Braxton of Los Angeles Times lauded the season premiere for its comedy, particularly Cranston's performance.[10] For her performance as Meg in the two-parter 'Company Picnic', Susan Sarandon was nominated in the Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series category, but lost to Cloris Leachman.[11]
In 2019, Angelo Delos Trinos of Screen Rant criticized the episode 'Cynthia's Back' as being outdated. He said, 'While not the worst of its kind, Cynthia's Back suffers from depicting outdated stereotypes about women being too emotional and casual sexual harassment.'[12]
