Jake 2.0

I was wondering if anyone has been watching this show... I think it's really fun and I love Christopher Gorham. Anybody have any comments ?

Silly show, but fun. I too really enjoy Christopher Gorham. He has enough charisma to carry the formula.

I'm a week behind in my viewing, but the eye candy (Jake's doc, crush, and art restorer) is pretty nice.

I wonder how much longer this show will last since Angel seems to be stomping the crap out of it.

I hate this show. Stupid piece of crap. Can't believe Greenwalt has anything to do with this.

Last week had some hackers trying to bring down a plane with computers? They locked out manual control??? Were the writers high, or are they just plain stupid?

I want that one hour of my life back.

I really like the show. I noticed its doing pretty horribly ratings-wise though, so unfortunately it probably won't last very long. I look forward to it each week.

Silly fun is the perfect way to describe it.

Whatever happened to his wannabe girlfriend from the first two episodes?

It is pretty good. It probably is doing bad from the Enterprise Lead in.. they should swap em around and move them to Tuesday nights...

The timeslot is frustrating... thankfully I have a tivo and replay so I can record both Angel and Jake (I can't seem to watch tv live these days...spoiled with the jump button). I still love Spike, but I think my new tv crush is Chris Gorham. He is doing a live chat on upn.com at 10est/7pst tonight if anyone is interested.

I like the show, but the last episode's premise was kind of painful.

Anyone still watching this? I just got around to watching last week's episode which I missed watching the first time (brother confused with Jake by militia from Montana, aka Jerry 2.0, originally aired 10/29/03).

The writing just seems uncomfortable at times. Are they consulting with George Lucas for dialogue?

If I hear "we do not negotiate with terrorists" one more time, I was gonna gag.

So, they sent Jake in to do the swap, but then tracked him there? That's great for employee morale.

"Sure, go ahead and get your brother, but don't say that *I* let you do it. Then we'll follow you, and go in guns blazing (after walking by the backlit glass walls of their hideout). Hopefully you won't get hit, only the son of the terrorist so we can have a tender 'was it justice' moment at the end of the show."

The first couple were interesting. The wedding one was cute. But I'm losing patience on this one.

Still enjoy it quite a bit in the "guilty pleasure" type show.

Thought the Lee Majors one was pretty good.
