I finally got around to watching it last night, and it wasn't too bad. I'll watch it again.
The only thing that kind of irks me is that I don't think it is set far enough in the future. I mean, it is only 26 years from now.

I think it's a great concept with a lot of potential, but as CaptStormy noted it's just too dry. I have it taped, and have only caught fifteen minutes so far, mind you, but what I saw made me think "Wow, this concept would be great if they hired better writers to juice it up." The characters were just too dull, and it had way too many gimmicky shots (like the kid playing the dumb game) that seem to scream "Hey, we're in the future!!!" I also thought it was odd that everyone was so taken aback by the fact that the boy band was in their 70s. Considering these characters are all part of the future, it should be relatively common to them that plastic surgery techniques could be that advanced.
On a positive note, I did like the little touches like the "upside down" thing. Litle stuff like that makes it a bit more relatable. I'll finish it and probably give it another chance, but I'm on the fence so far.

The clone portion was decent enough, but the 'B' story was short and pointless. The church scene was easily the cheesiest thing I've seen all season on any program.
I'll keep watching, but am not expecting much out of it.

Well... I didn't stick around for after the news, but... The game ended right before 10pm, at about 5 after they were showing the UT basketball press conference, and then I saw the whole news staff was there, and they started some sort of news story thingy. So, if it DID run, it was at least 1.5 hours late, after the news, in this area.
Who got the show? I don't see it available in the "usual places".

Well, I've been trying to give this show a chance, but CBS ****ed it up again on the last episode. The show started 30 minutes late, so my TiVo didn't get it all.
I give up. Out of the first 4 shows, one was a no-show, and the other was late. Get it together, CBS.

You were warned about that.
I padded that Sat night broadcast by an hour since I knew basketball would run over.

Sort of. Patman posted a pad alert for the 3/20 showing, which was scrapped because hoops ran way over. They aired the 3/20 episode on 3/27. Same hoops run-over potential was in effect Sat night.
