I’ll also definitely be checking this out tonight & it’s probably the new show I’ve been looking forward to seeing the most. The premise sounds interesting & it’s been getting rave reviews so most likely, it’ll be cancelled.
Chi McBride is always good & besides the premise of the show, he’s one of the main reasons why I’ll be tuning in.
Hope it’s good!

I loved the pilot. Reminded me a lot of Edward Scissorhands in tone.
Hopefully the future episodes will be as good, as it's a fine line between quirky & charming with cheesy & hokey. They'll have to find a good balance.

In all the magazines and newspapers I have read say it is one of the top 5 best shows of the season.
I have to agree.

I liked the leads and though Chi McBride did a good job to reign in the 'sweetness' that this show has. The dialogue was witty and sharp, I like the concept and most of the execution, it's just that (as seen in the final scene) sometimes it's far TOO CUTE for it's own good and that aspect really bugged me.
Those minor annoyances aside, I thought it was a lot of fun and I'll be watching again.

As some have already said, I cannot wait to see this in HD. Off the top of my head, this could be the only new show that I even care about..

The premise sounds really interesting and I'm totally going to give this a try.

This is the best pilot that I've seen this fall, but I'll be shocked if it's a ratings success. As mentioned, it's reminiscent of Wonderfalls. It's stylish and charming, but it's not as compelling as some shows. It's accessible and fun, but it's probably too offbeat to attract a large audience.
