So, I'm the only guy loving E-Ring still?

I definately enjoy this show. One of my top 5 currently. But there never seems to be a thread.

Anyone else still enjoying it?

I gave it up after a few episodes. Had 2 or 3 in the DVR and just deleted them. If they repeat it during the summer (if it survives cancellation), I might watch it.

I think I lasted 2 episodes. There hasn't been any solid positive buzz to make me regret that choice.

I am currently enjpying it, too, especially now that have more action sequence than before. The last 2 episodes were pretty good.

Also, I like that Maj. Tisnewski may end up to be a Squadron Commander and will be working full-time on the field.

You mean that weekly 60-minute ad for the Bush Administration? People actually watch 60-minute ads!?

Exactly what happened to me... now that The Shield and 24 are back on, I'm glad I dumped it. Wasn't interesting enough to take up that much space when I have other things I wanted to watch. If they rerun it, I'll watch it.

I still watch it. I do still have the last 2 eps sitting in my Tivo. It's not a show I immediately watch, but I do like it.

I kind of hated it at first, but something about it is entertaining.

Yeah. I'm still watching it. Interesting angle by JT gunning for the promo, he'll likely see alot more field special ops.

I didn't like this show at first but it has grown on me. It almost seems like they read this board as they've changed some stuff they people around here have complained about.

Got rid of the "signing off on orders" montage,somewhat better dialogue, a little more action. They even got rid of the girlfriend who I didn't like.

So...back to Commander in Chief?


I guess I don't see it as having anything to do with Bush, unless you simply equate Bush as not liking terrorists. I suppose that could bother some people.

Actually the show could be seen as being somewhat anti-Bush administration, as Tisnewski always seems to be fighting with the higher-ups to do his job.

That has been my thought. It is anti-bureaucracy and anti "do what is best politically."

I don't think the feel of the show would change no matter who was president.

But we didn't see her flatline, etc. We assume she died. The major will get involved with Kelly, and then the old gf will be spotted undercover on an assignment.

I agree, espicaially in the first few episodes when they passed around the form for the 100 signitures to get a mission approved.

I watch this show each week, but I also have a feeling it won't see a second season, which would be unfortunate.

Is this still on? I know the last couple of weeks it's been preempted by the Olympics, but they are over this week and I don't see a listing for it...

Yeah, tv.com has been showing about the same for Bones and Numb3rs. I might be one of the few that still love those shows.
