hate to say it but I sort of liked the show..
Reminds me of all those cheesy 80's films I watched back in the day with the same sort of theme.. Good looking chicks, rock music, and some battle over a moutain, resort, beach, camp ground or whatever family based location you can think of..
Seems like the show could work in guest stars and winter sport actions clips really easy but I fear it will slip into yelling between those who have one idea for the moutain Vs those who have another idea.. That would get old quick..
I'll keep watching... Always sort of had a thing for shows set in moutain areas for some strange reason.. Not really sure why, I live in california, not like the moutains are far off or anything.
Live close enough (sacramento) that the local news come winter has those dumb people who get stuck without chains over Donner summit and go "We had no idea that the snow would blah blah blah." ERrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr?!!?!? Hello?! It's "Donner" as in Donner party, summit, not like you did not study the whole area in school and what happened..
of course I'm pretty sure that The Mountain will have no cannibal story lines.

I was going to watch it, but watched Veronica Mars instead.
The WB is running it again tonight and it'll be one of the shows that will be part of EZ-view on Sunday so I'll probably catch it at some point.

I have to wonder if Oliver Hudson has some incriminating photos of a WB executive or what? He is like their in-house actor.
I didn't watch this show-- was it bad? I think I'll grab the replay on Sunday night. I find myself looking for more and more brain-dead TV shows to watch while I'm nursing the baby. I actually set a Season Pass for "The View", so you know I'll watch anything without substance.

No - it wasn't that bad, but it's not exactly Everwood either.
Oliver Hudson doesn't bother me - the WB has plenty of contract actors that get on my nerves and pop up in show after show, like Chad Michael Murray, but he is not one of them...

Gee, a Romeo and Juliet storyline to kick off this show? So I watched the pilot since it's raining and I had nothing else left to watch.
The redhead's nice, but too easy. The ex-girlfriend is pretty hot. The sister's a ho, just don't know it yet. The Ducky character is pretty lame. Travis is a MILFHunter.
I won't make this show a high priority, so if I catch the next few episodes, it'll be after I've exhausted all the other shows on my ReplayTVs.

Hey Jadzia--I kind of liked that show he was on too. I think it was called "My Guide to Being a Rock Star."
As for The Mountain, I didn't particularly like the pilot, so I don't think I'll be watching it.

The pilot wasn't that good, but the music was good enough to get me to watch more. I really liked the way they used the Deftones song, but they did a horrible job with the Von Bondies song. Was that MC Chris during the fight? I didn't recognize the song, but it sounded like him.

Finally watched this today. I kept thinking the plot reminded me of a low-rent version of the Six Feet Under pilot. Family business? Check. Two brothers, one a free spirit, the other the dutiful one? Check. Bratty teenage sister? Check. Patriarch of the family dies? Check. Brothers resent the will? Check. Big bad conglomerate wants to take over the family business? Check. Free spirited brother considers selling? Check. Finally decides to run business with his brother? Check.
I think I know where the writers got their inspiration.
