I didn't much like the sister-in-law either but I think she has an interesting story.

I tried to watch for your sake vols to see what the hoopla was about, but it was boring. And I like Aidan and Ellen. Could it be that the original material was ok but the screenwriting didn't do the story justice.

Well, I can't put my finger on it but in a way it was boring to me but then I look back at it and there was alot of stuff happened.

I told my best friend that it was terrible and then I started telling him everything that happened and I ended up telling him it was interesting. He thought I had lost my mind and maybe I have but there is something that is bringing me back to it.

The part of me that says it was terrible is the part that it was just over the top and that is also the part that I find interesting. Almost like what type of wreck will happen next. I don't know if that makes sense because I think I am at a loss of words (for once).

Yes, Yes It Was. I tried watching. I tried watching the tape. God Knows I tried. Failed miserably.


Guess I'll go back listening to organ music. Bleh, but at least it's over in 639 years. That may be rip-roaring excitement compared to this show.

I watched. I liked the second episode better than the first. It has some potential but definitely needs to improve.

The gay guy, Christian Campbell is hot. Did anyone see him Reefer Madness? He's Neve's brother.

The Japanese guy is a cutie too.

Was that the original? I saw that one in school, but I don't remember the actors.

Vols, you DEFINITELY need to see Reefer Madness. There is a musical number where he is covered only by a fig leaf. It's well worth it! I tried to find a shot of it on the web but no luck.

Watched it on the DVR last night.

Here is my main issue with the show. Did anyone else feel like the show played more like a mid-season lets catch the viewer up on all the plot twists (like Lost or Desparate Housewives both do) rather than a first episode of a show.

It's like the writer sat down and said I have 36 plot twists, I expect to be canceled by show 3-6 so I need to put in 6 of these every hour so I get them all in before the show goes off the air.

It made it hard to care about any of the people or any of the plot twists as there was no main plot that got twisted. It was like each segment of the show could have been a whole episode, but they didn't have the attention span for writing all those different episodes, so they just did a plot twist summary.

I think the all plot twist moment, with very little else could get very old, very fast.

While there were quite a few moments I did like, but maybe not enough to overcome the plot twist summary writing style.

I tried to watch this show but didn't really get it. I thought it was boring and slow and just a remix of things already out there.

Did we watch the same show? As someone mentioned above...it was so packed full of plot twists it was hard to keep up with (IMHO). Boring and slow? Really?

Unbelievable. Well, I guess not really. Who would put a show on Friday nights at 10pm, and not expect it to fail?

The promos bait viewers with zany comedy.... is this actually the case? Does this show have a chance? (Despite the late Friday night slot.)

I think it is a shame to cancel the show so soon.....how could it have time to get a fan base. My husband & I watched part of the 2 shows they showed around here and it had potential!!!
The last time I checked we were in the U.S. with all our freedoms.....yeah right....if you don't like a show...no one is forcing you to watch it....change the channel. Most of you probably have cable anyway, so there are plenty of channels to choose from. I, personally, think NBC should give it a chance.
It was based on the real world, filled with problems, drugs, sexuality choices, etc. It at least had something to do with things in the real world that most families face at one time or another, as well as, spirituality. It is a shame, as I feel this is a form of censorship, and one more step toward losing more of our freedoms. We should always have the right to choose in any situation.
Wishing peace, prosperity and happiness to us all during this Holiday Season. May the New Year-2006-bring our Soldiers home (finally) and provide us with the above 3 things.
