I thought it was all right. The characters are kind of interesting. Been a fan of Brett Harrison since The Loop.

I just thought it felt rushed and maybe would be better as a 1 hour comedy (like Reaper)

I liked it too. It was very silly but goofs make me laugh so...

"The names Duncan. Duncan MaNuts"

"What, a black man can only play Lando Calrissian? OBAMA!"

"Captain Kirk did you get my friend request? Beam me up!"

"Any-rape"

I liked it enough to watch it for a few episodes..

Seems like a "Chuck/Sneakers/The Office" kinda mash-up.

That's why I watched. If it was an hour long it probably would have stayed on the DVR for about a week before I decided that I didn't want to really watch it and just delete it. Since it was 30 minutes, I watched right away.

I liked it... kind of. Nothing special. It seems like it's trying to be like Chuck (which is a good thing) by mixing in the action and comedy but wasn't that funny (which is a bad thing). All the jokes by the black guy seemed way too forced. I had to roll my eyes every time he said "boom goes the dynamite".

But I like the cast. The guy from The Loop is funny, I've always been a fan of Christian Slater, that one chick is smoking hot and Lex Luthor is awesome. So I'll keep checking it out... but I hope it hits a stride in the coming weeks. If it doesn't, I'm out.

I expected the main character to say he thought his costume was actually Lando from the end of Empire Strikes Back.

I like Brett Harrison and loved the shows that he has starred in, The Loop & Reaper. I really liked this one, but chances are, it'll join his other canceled too early shows.

Hmmm. Had it's moments but the cast seemed really weak.

:lol: That was hilarious. I laughed quite a few times.

The core 3 members of the cast (Slater, Harrison and Annable) were great. I didn't mind the zany supporting characters.

Loved how they hazed Cameron after he started working at Contra, especially with his car being flipped upside down.

Duncan MaNuts :lol:

Dutch to Cameron: "Hey, you look smart, Can I have some Urine?" :lol:

Is there actually a Curling video game for the Wii?

For any of you who are curious about how this did in the ratings (and already assuming the worst):

http://www.deadline.com/2011/04/rati...-sunshine-map/

9.9M viewers and 3.5 in the 18-49 demos. Highest rated FOX comedy in 3 years. We'll see how it does week 2.

Also, I noticed this show was produced by Adam Sandler's production company Happy Madison.

yeah, but Knights Of Prosperity was actually funny

I certainly hope the show was better than the trailer. Because that, at least, was fucking horrid.

Well, are you going to watch it or what? As you can see most of the opinions here are positive, including myself.

I liked the pilot. The cast was good and I liked the premise of the show so I will be back. I thought it was pretty funny actually.

Got the pilot free on iTunes and liked it a bunch. Didn't even notice rosenbaum was in it.
