I know this will be trash. The question is whether it will be good trash (a la Las Vegas) or bad trash (a la North Shore).

I'm looking forward to this one.

Heather Locklear & Blair Underwood both make for good eye candy.

I'm not looking forward to this. I think Locklear's better days are behind her, and Underwood does nothing for me. Let's just say it's good that NBC premiered the show this week instead of next week when it goes head-to-head with CSI: Miami's season opener.

Damn! Why did I read the spoiler?!?!?

In addition, I say again, could we please put the titles of the eps in the thread title. I realize that every time i've requested this, our president has stated that they're potential spoilers and if it said something like "Luke's Yo Daddy" or "I'm Really A Dude" i'd agree with him. But, "For Every Action" or "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" [to use two B.A.-started threads for today as examples] isn't really spoiling anything.

Perhaps Jadzia, our newly minted mod can help with this.

This has been getting killed in all the reviews I've read.

I'll watch it this week but will with CSI: Miami starting next week I doubt I'll be sticking with it.

I think airdate is preferable over episode title in thread titles.

Obviously, so do I.



On a positive note - this cannot possibly be any worse than Medical Investigation.

The NY DAILY NEWS says the show is "...about as entertaining as a flight delay.... doesn't even feel like a show than can be saved ... the best thing to hope for is a swift cancellation.".

Guess he didn't like it ......

Yes it's getting smoked by the critics but it's Blair Underwood so I'm still going to tune in. Since I don't watch CSI:Miami I'll hang in there until they cancel it (which will probably be two weeks from now).

Anyone watching the HD broadcast? There is no dialogue, all ambient sounds are there - just no voices. Kinda funny.

Yes, they are Joem - just wait until they don't sleep after you bring the baby home. Scary.


My wife looked at me as they played BDB's "The Shining" during the orphan plane sequence and said, "Well, even if the show kind of sucked - at least the music is good."

Heather still looks great.

Glad to see Gonorrhea getting some work.

Well, if Locklear didn't have fake boobs before, she does now.

I think I'm done with this show, it just reeks of mediocrity.

I was thinking the same thing. I was suprised that he was in it.


Side Note: I was an extra in the show. They were filming it in Dallas.

Close call but I think I have to go the other way. Anyway, they're both off my watch list.

I watched the first 15 minutes of this last night and my interest faned quickly. (I didn't plan on sticking with it since CSI: Miami starts next week anyway.) However, Heather is looking better than ever!

Better than North Shore. Entertaining enough to hold my interest - for now. I'm cutting CSI: Miami from my schedule, so I have room for it.

DVDTalk member GreenEggs was an extra in the show. He was in the scene when the filippino lady got caught and he was one of the pilots on the "orphan" flight.

Agreed. I don't pay attention to episode titles.

I did not think it was too bad, much better than Medical Invetigations crap. If CSI:Miami is good next week it will get my viewing, but that is another show that I am on the fence with.

I'd rather watch a CSI MIami rerun
