I like Lindsay too. She looks quite like a naughty librarian with those glasses.
This is up against Jay and CSI: NY. I think it has a decent shot of 2nd place, but I haven't heard too much pre-show buzz about this.

Set this to record the premiere. We'll see. Nothing else watchable at 10 tonight, so I'll give it a shot. I dont really expect too much.

I liked it enough i will continue to tivo it. I like all 3 of the lead actresses and think they could do a lot of fun things.

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Has a real "Desperate Housewives" vibe. I liked DH's first season. So I'll add this to the weekly schedule.

Yeah, I wasn't that sure about this one but it was pretty decent. Had some real laughs too. "I burnt my boob" got a hearty chuckle.

Definitely Desperate Housewives meets Charmed. I like Lindsay Price (although her nostrils looked large and skeletal last night - maybe they always have and I just didn't notice before) and think Paul Gross is pretty damn good (it's against the law in Canada to say anything bad about Paul Gross).... some moments made me roll my eyes but I'll stick with it for a while.

I enjoyed it also. So are we supposed to believe that Darryl has returned to Eastwick after the events that transpired in The Witches of Eastwick?

ABC is notorious of pulling the plug quickly on 1 hour dramas that start off poorly. dont see this trend changing with this show. also, the christian slater show is a candidate for a quick pull as well.
Shows like gary unmarried survive because they're cheap to produce and get modest ratings (similar to the Jim Belushi show).

Well 2nd place in a field of 3 networks isn't necessarily impressive, especially when the 3rd place show is Jay Leno. Eastwick got 8.53 million viewers -- which isn't terrible but isn't fantastic, either... especially considering it was coming off the 11.44 million viewers of Cougar Town (which had tougher competition).

I tried but I couldn't stay with it because it was too corny. I ditched after "D" or whatever his name showed up and summoned the blue chick from X-men. I ended up playing XBOX.
I will say I've always dug the Asian chick because I think she's gorgeous and i used to see her on "Becker". But even that won't save the show for me.

I just don't know how they plan on sustaining the premise, but it might be fun, though I was already getting tired of the quick flashes of dreams/nightmares to promote action on the show.

I remember her from 90210 and she never seems to age.

ABC should have put this in the Forgotten's time-slot because Eastwick seems like it would better capture the post-Dancing with the Stars audience.

Not really good, but I'm a big Paul Gross fan going back all the way to Tales of the City .... and it's great to see Matt Dallas (Kyle XY) back on a series.
I's be surprised if this lasts the season.
