THE NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW of "ValueVille":
"Their boss, Don (a spectacularly perverse Christopher Sutton), transcends stereotype. From the moment he greets the new employee by snapping, “Eddie is a child’s name,” he is clearly an original. And Donna Lynne Champlin’s keen, polished direction presents him as a fully formed monster." -The New York Times
