Excitement, excitement! The pilot I've been most anxious to see. I will have to time shift it a little so I can cram everything on tonight in as Wednesday is one of my heaviest nights of programming!

This is the show I am most excited for.

I've watched some snippets from the show on ABC's website and, man, this show is very funny. I really can't wait to see what the dramatic side has in store for us.

My 1st reaction to this show was..."not another show about spoiled rich people!" But, I think the premise sounds intriguing so I will definitely tune in.

Looking forward to it. I'm a fan of most of the cast. Those reviews on the other hand have me worried....

I'll check out the pilot tonight since I like Peter Krause from Six Feet Under, but I'm not too excited about this.

The name itself doesn't really grab me, and the premise doesn't seem too exciting. But I'll definitely give it a chance.

I’m going to be checking this out tonight but I have a feeling, since it’s on ABC, it will just be a bunch of annoying & unlikable characters having sex for 30 minutes & spending the other 10-15 talking about it.

Might be really good, don’t know ti’ll I see it.

Yeah, I'll only be checking it out because I dig Krause, but god, what a horrible, horrible title for a show.

Another one here just giving it a shot for Krause. The description of the premise doesn't interest me in the slightest. Here's hoping for a pleasant surprise.

This is the show I'm most looking forward to this fall. So Far every new show has been really lousy.

I'm ready for some superficial-rich people drama.

I'm there for Krause. And I kind of get a kick out of the title.

Funny you say that--most articles I've read about the show praise the title first thing, basically saying it's so clever and intriguing. A few people I've talked to have said the same thing. I kind of like it. It's the new millennium way of saying "Dynasty"--just more straight-forward and to the point, like our times.

Anything out of Berlanti Television should merit a check out. Only drawback is he isn't writing. Looks like he will be writing Eli Stone.

I'm in this for the actors, the writers, as well as the premise... its actually the show I'm looking forward to the most this season (except the "Sarah Conner Chronicles")...

For a Pilot it was pretty good. As long as it gets better, as it should, I'll watch. Krause of course makes the show worth it, but the cast is quite good otherwise, even Baldwin.

It is basically a more dramatic Arrested Development.

You can tell Peter Krause has been doing plays because his acting is much more theatrical than before (in Six Feet Under).

The show is very zany, and money sure can sweep away a lot of nutty behavior.

Bryan has to be one of the meanest a-hole clergy ever on TV.

I didn't get why they casted a kid with the biggest blue eyes to play young Nicholas, and then cut to Peter Krause, who's got brown eyes. Sure, the actor playing his father had blue eyes, but, hello, Peter Krause's got brown eyes...

I felt his acting was pretty theatrical in SFU (especially in the later seasons), really that show was fairly over the top, even if it felt very real. But I think this show is much more of a soap opera so the melodrama is more accepted and embraced, plus it helps the comedy.

I was mainly interested in this because of Peter Krause, but I ended up really enjoying it. It was much funnier than I expected which was a nice surprise. The characters seem a little superficial, but I think that's intentional. They each have their role to play in the family dynamic. I'll definitely be tuning in next week.

Looks pretty good. I second the notion of the Arrested development angle..but way more dramatic.

This was excellent. I'll definitley be back. Ditto on the messed up Arrested Development angle.
