It's been interesting enough to keep my attention, been watching it through its Canadian run the past few months.

It didn't get a great review in my paper this morning. Wasn't horrible, either. They said the show lacked character development.

Thank goodness for hockey and baseball because I'm only recording 4 shows this week and 2 next week. Many of the summertime series don't start until late June or July so perhaps I'll give this show a try...even though it doesn't sound very good.

I just watched the first episode and I'd say I agree with that. The show was interesting, but not very compelling. And the characters all seemed to be just punching the time clock. No developement of a single character. And Lauren Holly was so underused it was like she wasn't even there.

I'll keep the timer to see how it goes, but so far it isn't 'must see' TV at all.

The commercials on ABC keep saying the season premiere is Thursday. So what exactly was the episode that aired yesterday?

Sometimes the networks distinguish the "Pilot" episode from the "Premiere" episode; often only the network execs see the pilot; occasionally we see the pilot and the show doesn't get picked-up based on the public reviews. At least that's my story. Regardless, cable has forced the networks to come up with summertime series...and I wouldn't mind seeing more pilots.

And Lauren is getting a little long in the tooth. I could not make it past the first half...had to stop and no desire to return. WEAK in all departments, particularly, script...and actors.

I'll have to watch it On Demand. Our regularly scheduled programming was interrupted due to an earthquake (Just minor stuff, falling from shelves and a couple chimneys).

I finally watched the first half hour of the first show (episode 2) and stopped it, deleted it and deleted the timers. Really nothing new and totally uninteresting to me.

 

[teachsac]

It's OK. Works for me as a lead-in to Rookie Blue. If it were a regular season show and not a summer filler, I wouldn't be watching it.
