Jericho--'Pilot'--9/20/06
Spoiler:
Looking forward to this. I've heard great reviews of it so we'll see how it is. |
Great premise. The pilot floundered a bit, but it's certainly a show I have on Season Pass.
|
I'm looking forward to it.

Well, this is set to record tonight, but I worry because none of these "mystery" shows have caught on with me yet. This one looks pretty good so Ill give it a shot.
|
I'm looking forward to this. For the curious, the pilot is directed by Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure, Phenomenon).
|
The reviews haven't exactly been glowing.
|
I was on the bubble about adding this to my season pass list, but since my Wednesday's are pretty empty, other than Lost, I'm going to give it a shot. I like the premise, so we will see.
|
Like someone else said, the premise is good but the pilot is so-so.
|
I'm surprised not one review I've read has mentioned how similar this is to the book Alas, Babylon. It's literally the same exact story. Have the creators of the show made any reference to the fact that the show is loosely based on the book?

They have a Navy in Kansas?! ;) |
Would you believe that this show is debuting on Australian TV on basically the same day !
That has gotta be a first. Normally it takes weeks if not months for new TV shows to hit Australian TV |
Wasn't really gonna watch it.... but caught it going through the guide and didn't see anything else on, so I started watching at the beginning and got intrigued right away. I'll give it a shot.
|
I'm liking it so far.
The characters are pretty meh, and the acting is nothing to write home about, but it's still an interesting premise. |
Not as good as I hoped but I still like it I will watch again.

Interesting premise....totally unremarkable pilot. To term it so-so seems a stretch. It seems this show's getting far too much slack due solely to said premise. Based purely on content, this actually bodered on tedious. The not so kind reviews I read seem spot on after this viewing.
|
I liked it a lot. Count me in for this show! Seems kinda like a ripoff of Lost, but hopefully it will be different.
|
I liked the pilot quite a bit...weird seeing George Hearst not being a total motherfucker. I think the premise is very cool and the execution for the most part was pretty good...a few awkward scenes (like when the Sheriff goes to the wrong Bus and that kid raids the grocery store and hits the road) but the main cast is good and the story is intriguing...and the use of both The Killers and Snow Patrol in the pilot gets a thumbs up from me.
One question, what the hell was on the road at the end? My HD feed was a little dark - did her tires melt off or something?? MATT |

I liked it. I'll give it another shot next week. Will this be on the same time as Lost?
|
Damn, Atlanta's gone!
|
It felt like I was watching a mix of Lost and War of the Worlds. It was pretty good I thought, I'll check it out again next week.
|
that kid raids the grocery store and hits the road I thought it was good overall. Living in Kansas I was a bit concerned how they might portray small town Kansas, but felt they did a good job. They seemed to show small-town dynamics well. Other than the fact it is impossible to see the Rocky Mountains from Kansas, they seemed to do a good job of accuracy. It has potential. I will give it a try for a while. |
Eh. It was okay, but nothing spectacular. I'll give it a few more episodes.
