'Raising Hope' Creator Greg Garcia Doesn't Care What Critics Think

Filed under: Features, Celebrity Interviews, Fall TV
Greg Garcia has had a bit of an uncomfortable relationship with TV critics. Of the two shows that he's created, he's had one that was critically lambasted in 'Yes, Dear' and one that got a decent amount of critical respect in 'My Name is Earl,' especially during its early seasons.

The pilot for his new show, 'Raising Hope,' which premieres on FOX on Tuesday, September 21 at 9PM ET, has been getting mixed reviews, but Garcia doesn't care. "I've never given a s--t about what you guys (critics) think," he said during my semi-contentious conversation with him a couple of weeks ago. He's got the right to say that, as 'Yes, Dear' hung in there for six seasons and 'Earl' stayed on for four, giving Garcia a decade-long run that most producers would kill for. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | CommentsRachel Miner Bristol Palin Lisa Ling Marley Shelton
