The Days

Tonight's episode was great. I expected it to either be more tragic or more cheesy. They did a good job of not going over the top.

I really liked this show. Anybody know how it did ratings-wise and if it's coming back?

From what I understand (I can't find a good news article about the ratings), ABC has mixed feelings on the show and no official announcement has been made yet. I read that the ratings were high for the time slot, but I also read that it was disappointing.

I liked it, and was surprised to know it was completely funded and backed by a group based on consumer advertising and whatnot. I didn't notice constant product placement, and the show was good entertainment for a Sunday night.

I also didn't get too attached to it, it was just six episodes, and the finale could work as either a season or series finale. This show was a surprise for me, I sort of just stumbled on it and liked it enough to stick around. I'd be happy if it came back, but it's okay if it didn't.

I really liked it as well.

The pilot wasn't all that good and I was only going to give it one more episode (ep 2) but it got much better from there.


Hopefully, it will get picked up for a full season.

it got much better week to week and last night was pretty good, although i had a hard time with how long it took the kids to get to the hospital.

I hope they bring it back. I really enjoyed the show and most importantly, the characters. I thought last nights evolution of Coop and his girlfriend, although predictable, was pretty cool. The whole "what if" thing with Abby was ironic because we had just been discussing the same thing at work.

I really liked the first episode, but the characters did grow on me more each week. After last night's episode I'll definitely miss this show if it doesn't come back. I felt it was a pretty moving episode.

Synopsis: Cooper and his girl get interupted by Jack calling from the hospital. Nathan fakes a panic attack so his girl will win. Natalie doesn't answer her cell phone and she waits at the abortion clinic all day. Jack calls Natalie's rival and she decides to go to Natalie's bf. He figures out that Natalie's at the clinic and they go get her before she has the abortion. The family finds out the baby died. Cooper and Jack have a fight at the hospital and Cooper goes back to his gf's. Abby's ex talks to Jack and finds out Abby's never told him about her and leaves. Abby's OK and they all go home. Abby and Jack have a fight over Abby's ex and Jack realizes he needs to pick up Cooper. Everybody then makes up.

Hehe, that was more work than I thought it would be. I remember looking at the clock last night and being surprised there was still like 20 minutes left in the show. It felt like a lot went on. It also felt like it took people a long time to travel to the various places. It was like the opposite of 24; it would be the middle of the day and then all of a sudden it would be completely dark outside.

I too hope this show comes back - it was far better than most dramas these days. Can we say North Shore?

I really enjoyed the character interactions, dialogue, and music. Here's hoping abc realizes it's got a good thing (not that they did with Once and Again...not that I'm bitter or anything )

Aw crap!!!

Forgot all about this, any chance of a repeat?

Also I agree it did get better week to week. First week I hated it but then there was nothing on a few weeks ago and I was hooked.
