I have this set to record tonight instead of Mr. Sunshine. I'll have to decide which I want to keep up with.

Christian Slater is 0 for 2 in weekly TV shows. Hopefully the American Idol lead-in will help.
I like the cast too. Plus, we get to see what Rosenbaum looks like with hair.

For the record, I also liked seeing Lesure again too, but watched Mr. Sunshine for weekly eye candy of Andrea Anders. At least this also has weekly eye candy of Odette Annable.

Didn't know anything about this show until right now. I like 90's Slater and this looks like him. I like Rosenbaum. I think the black guy will get annoying fast if he's always doing shtick like what's in the trailer.

Had no idea this was a half hour show. I assumed it was an hour show. More incentive to check it out.

like watch her tv show?
I like pretty much everyone in this cast so I'll be catching it for sure... even if I can pretty much already guess how each charter will be like, just from the actors in the cast..
I'm going to guess FOX will expect huuuuuge ratings numbers with the American Idol lead in.. Does that help or hurt a new show? If they come in with something good number wise, but still a huge drop off does that count as a negative? Even if the number would be a ++ if not for the great lead in?
FOX loves to drop the cancel ax right away...

I enjoyed it, so I look forward to its cancellation.

While the show wasn't groundbreaking, I adore the cast. Slater is the big draw but I was totally floored that Trevor Moore (Whitest Kids U Know) was in this. I love that troupe. Also I remember the main kid from The Loop a few years ago. Fox, though... Fox loves to kill what I love. I don't trust them with this.
I'm already in until there's no more to watch.

I thought it was ok for a light comedy sort of show. Nothing ground breaking at all but it's well cast.. Also had a few lines that made me laugh, I'm not really looking for more then that out of a 30min fox comedy anyways..
I like the guy being put in charge of stealing the car being he plays GTA.. "...it's a video game, it doesn't mean I also know how to kill prostitutes" lol
of course as others have also said it's still a FOX network show so if too many of us like it then it's a given they will kill it off..

Trevor Moore has to go. Otherwise, I thought it was a decent pilot. It could get good with some character development.

I really liked the core of Christian Slater, Brett Harrison, and Odette Annable, but I couldn't stand the rest. They are just trying too hard to make it this zany gang of oddballs. Between the Dwight Schrute wannabe, the black nerd, and d-bag Lex Luthor it was just overkill.

I like Trevor Moore (I'm a Whitest kids fan). The rest of the cast is good as well. They even have a Megan Fox type chick.
This show reminded me of that "The Knights of Prosperity" show from 4 years ago on ABC (I think).
I hope it sticks around, fun 1/2 hr show.
