I recorded it tonight while watching Fringe. I haven't gone back to watch it yet...just checking in on this thread to see if it's worth my time. I saw somebody from Everwood was listed as a creative force on this show, so that piqued my interest.
I didn't think about that.

I guess I'm the only one who actually watched this last night?
I liked it. Sure, there were some corny clichéd parts, but overall I enjoyed JoAnna Garcia and the rest of the cast.

This show is female oriented and very soapy but I liked it anyway. Interesting/charismatic characters with a rich back-story, great acting, great writing, and great production values (they clearly spent as lot of money shooting this show). What's not to like?
The Taser shot and the Spiderman reference were laugh-out-loud moments.

Forgot to set my DVR for pretty much any new show. Of course, this is another show the CW doesn't deem worthy of streaming from their website. What is up with that? I try to catch this and 90210 since forgetting to record them, but no. I don't know why any network still doesn't do this for new shows. It seems especially important for new shows that have an arc to let viewers catch up if they hear positive buzz.

The one thing I forgot to mention about the show is that the HD presentation is absolutely gorgeous, rivaling CSI: Miami. Maybe it is something about the South Florida shots.

I watched this today and thought it was kind of cute. I like the lead actress Joanna Garcia and thought she did a good job carrying the pilot. Anne Archer was also pretty good. Surprised to see Lucy Hale again so soon after Bionic Woman got the axe. Although I do think this role is better suited for her.
I don't know what kind of numbers the CW is expecting for this show, but I'll keep watching as long as it stays on. I actually think this pilot was alot more charming than 90210.
However, I was disappointed that Michael Cassidy was on this. I was not a fan of his on Smallville and Hidden Palms. Hope he's only a recurring character.
I agree with an above poster that this has a very "Charles in Charge" feel to it.

watched it tonight..
Not a bad show, better then the re-tooling of 90201 but that's sort of a given. At least so far it has a campy fun vibe about it and not the teen angst crud that 90210 is pitching.. Cast has some good looking women, I've watched worse.. There is a tag line you will never see on the dvd box sets.. lol DeadLamb of dvdtalk goes "I've watched worse"
as others have said, the location and setting really pops in HD..

This show actually has a bit of "The O.C." vibe, though Michael Cassidy doesn't help (though he was also on "The O.C."). Won't comment on Sage's photo-shoot attire, you never know if Chris Hansen's reading threads... 
I'm not too crazy about the brown hair on Joanna Garcia, liked her better as a blonde, but I can understand wanting to appear more "smart" given her character's educational background.
