	CTV.ca \| Jake In Progress
		Jake gets caught up in his client's love life when an actress (guest star Mel Harris), known for her romance with a much younger (and more famous) boyfriend (guest star Chris Carmack), confides that she's leaving the guy for someone more age appropriate.
		John Stamos returns to television in Jake in Progress, a fast-paced new comedy series about a smooth-as-silk celebrity publicist who tries to spin his professional and his personal life in the best possible light, but doesn't quite always succeed.
		Life moves at a non-stop pace for Jake Phillips, a New-York based publicist-to-the-stars who's the key player at Magnum PR Agency, run by his overbearing boss, Naomi (Wendie Malick), a woman whose disposition isn't improved by the fact that she's a soon-to-be single mom in the final weeks of pregnancy.

	ABC.com: Jake In Progress
		Complicating his work life even further is his boss, Naomi (Malick), a woman in a people profession who frankly can't stand people, and who often uses Jake to act as her go-between when things get too personal with the staff or the clients.
		But the drama in Jake's professional life has nothing on his personal life, as he strives to find the perfect girl to commit to, once and for all.
		Jake's been trying to get rid of him ever since, without much luck, and he pops up at the oddest times and most difficult moments in Jake's life.

	USATODAY.com - Slow-witted 'Progress' goes nowhere (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Jake In Progress went from being a sitcom version of 24 to a pale, male ripoff of Sex and the City.
		Since the title indicates he's a person in progress, we're supposed to believe he means what he says — though none of the dull, bad behavior we see on the screen gives us any reason to think he does.
		Jake is shot like a movie rather than in front of a live audience, and as in many such sitcoms (Arrested Development being the hilarious exception), it uses its film look as an excuse not to be funny.

		Jake is 26 months old and his previous owner has clearly neglected this poor boy from day one and is in deplorable condition.
		Jake will remain in foster care until he is fully recuperated and at optimum weight, at which time the stringent guidelines for placing a newf will be adhered to.
		Jake is starting to enjoy the luxury of carpeting in our great room by rolling around belly up and kicking his feet in the air for belly rubs, enjoying the fireplace and being entertained by a television while giving tons of kisses.

	The Seattle Times: Television: "Jake in Progress" a leap forward in network comedy
		Jake is the cellphone-flipping apotheosis of slick energy.
		In Sunday's opener, Jake's immediate crisis is handling "The Three Gay Amigos" — a finger-snapping, over-the-top lampoon of a certain makeover show (and a recent "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" commercial).
		But what would be the ending punchline in a lesser show is just midpoint for "Jake in Progress." From there, things get even crazier and more satisfying as the entire cast of characters converge at a sports bar opening.

	Jake in Progress \| PopMatters Television Review
		Jake in Progress isn't ABC's first post-Full House attempt to score ratings off Stamos' dimples (he sparred with Melissa George in the stylish but short-lived Thieves), but it is the busiest.
		Half the good lines (Jake is called both Chachi and "that guy from Menudo") and most of the necessary info is drowned out by visuals and soundtrack fighting to define the vibe.

On the off-chance we're not on board yet, moments later, Stamos re-enacts Harrison Ford's shirt-changing scene in Working Girl: mid-conversation with Adrian about the horror of dating hot, vapid models, Jake turns toward the inner windows of his office to find a klatch of women staring with glee at his naked torso.

	The Austin Chronicle: Screens: TV Eye
		Jake in Progress is not Sex and the City.
		No, in this handsome wish-fulfillment series, Jake is the alpha male in a group of likable but very flawed men, and one middle-aged, pregnant woman (Malick), who is, at least in the tape I've seen, the most capable of unbridling any man or woman who dares to cross her path.
		Instead, Jake gets to play the "pretty one" while the rest in the group flock around him like moths, hoping to drink in some of the glow – and, as I said before, Stamos' Jake is certainly worth drinking in.

		Jake Phillips (John Stamos) is swaggering through Midtown, talking ostentatiously on a cellphone, trying to mollify Shane (Evan Parke), a client - an angry action star worried about a media scandal.
		Jake's in P.R. He's a flatterer and a conniver, but he's also, in the curious way of publicity people, a stalwart, with a habit of loyalty, organization and deference that persists when he's off the clock.

	JS Online: Sitcom rut impedes 'Jake's' progress
		"Jake in Progress" can't decide whether it wants to be a smart, risk-taking, outside-the-box comedy or a safe, conventional sitcom.
		Yet with all that going for it, "Jake" can't resist the pull of the predictable - the joke, the character or the situation that springs not from life but from 50 years of sitcoms.
		ABC hopes to hasten "Jake's" progress by airing four episodes this week: the first two in a pair of back-to-back episodes tonight that will replace "Desperate Housewives" for one night only, the third in the series' regular 7 p.m.

		A mover and shaker PR agent, Jake is trying to quit his womanizing ways and find a more lasting relationship.
		Wendie Malick (Just Shoot Me) is as good as always as Jake's boss Naomi, Rick Hoffman (The $treet) is perfectly cast as Patrick, a depressed David Blaine-type (a running joke in the pilot) and Ian Gomez (Felicity) as Adrian, the vicariously-living miserable and married best friend.
		For example, in the pilot Adrian's wife is away and in trying to convince Jake to blow off a date and hang out he says: "No curfew, no guilt from the wifey...No faking an asthma attack to avoid talking about our relationship." Not so funny.

	Jake in Progress \| tv : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
		WHAT TO EXPECT As all the networks struggle to find fresh approaches to comedy, Jake is ABC's first attempt at a single-camera, laugh-track-free sitcom in three years.
		The show is, in fact, so different from the rest of ABC's comedy lineup that execs are even considering running it two episodes at a time because the network currently doesn't have a compatible half hour with which to pair it.
		Plus, Jake's job as a publicist presents ample opportunity for celeb satire: The first, 13-episode season pokes fun at laddie-magazine models, star-crazed tabloids, plastic-surgery shows, Demi and Ashton, Lindsay and Hilary, and even Harry Potter.
