I have been reading nothing but praise in regards to this show and I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully I won't be disappointed.

It's from the same people who do WOAT ... I've been looking forward to this one too.

I saw it a couple months ago and am very impressed with it. Out of all the new shows I previewed, this was my favorite and I will watch it again tonight.

This show looks like it is what 24 should've been...semi-real time, but on a smaller scale other than "save the world!"

Don't know what WOAT is. Too many acronyms around here.

I thought it was ok, but no where near as good as all the praise it's receiving.

Egan was the only character that really interested me.

When I first saw commercials for this, I didn't think much of it. But recently they've been showing a lot more ads, and now I'm interested.

I tried to add this to my DirecTV HD Tivo, but it won't let me. It says I already have something scheduled to record at the same time (Kidnapped), but that's never stopped me from recording 2 things at the same time before. I tried it on my SD Tivo and I can get both of them to record. Any ideas as to why it won't work on the HD?

Now that Kidnapped is essentially dead, I can devote time to watching this show.

I saw the pilot a while back and it was okay. I've got it tivoed for now so we'll see if it lasts. It definitely will be making lots of use of the flashback.

I'll be sampling this tonight.

From the Ask Ausiello column on TV Guide:

Question: I'm such a huge fan of Kidnapped. Do you see it lasting for a full season? — MelanieJo
Ausiello:
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just got word that the show is essentially dead. Producers have been told to finish making 13 episodes, and then stop. On the bright side, another Reunion this is not. They had a contingency plan in place that lets them wrap up the mystery by then.

After Kidnapped's 13 episodes are complete, I wonder what they are going to fill that timeslot with? Maybe Crossing Jordan?

Putting two and two together, I wonder if NBC isn't thinking of moving Studio 60 to this slot. Don't they have a promising midseason drama they could try to launch out of Heroes?

Damnit. I was liking it too.

At least it won't get pulled after 6 episodes like Heist was.

Very good, so far... Lots of potential!

Recognized somebody from 24 to boot!

Besides Audrey Raines?

I guess its also the reason the mother of Sucre's baby did not appear on Prison Break this season.

I thought it was good, but I was somehow expecting more. Maybe I bought into the hype too much. I'm sticking with it for sure, but I wasn't blown away...and all the "flash cuts" were really getting to me. Great cast though and an interesting premise, so I hope it pays off.

I found it cliched in parts (the Scott Wolf subplot where his character, with the pregnant redhead, is now in love with the hot Latina. Yawn.)

The daughter getting all into the perp was also something that just doesn't interest me.

Found it interesting, and it seems like I will stick with it. Still if I had my druther's, another season of Invasion.

Pretty good show. Was hesitant to watch it but had nothing else to do. Glad I did.

I rather enjoyed it.

I am however, anticipating seeing how they all become such great friends. I mean I know they were placed in a harrowing situation, but I find it hard to believe that they were able to learn and care so much for each other in just a couple of days. I wouldn't expect a terrifying hostage situation would allow a lot of time for a meet and greet.

And also from Prison Break, the president's brother (John Billingsley).

The show seemed interesting but didn't give me a reason to watch. It made me ask a lot of questions, "What happened?" etc. but didn't set the mood. I'll give it a few more episodes.
