The Family makes its sneak peek premiere tomorrow night before settling into its usual time slots on Sunday nights.  ABC teased the series three times during the Academy Awards ceremony, showing that it is seriously attempting to promote the show.  The promotion worked at least in terms of social media, as the show is now up to over 70,000 likes on Facebook and over 7,500 followers on Twitter, which both represent increases.

However, the promotion did little to help the fact that The Family has received some scathing reviews from critics, including Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter.  I am a bit disappointed that Goodman’s review spoiled a couple things for me, but I am intrigued by just how awful he claims the first two episodes were.  Still, the show has a 6.7/10 on IMDb so there are people who believe it is good or at least adequate.  Common viewers like me can find out for ourselves tomorrow night on ABC.
