I just got around to watching the pilot episode and I enjoyed it. It's the kind of mindless comedy that I like to watch to unwind before I go to bed. Kim Matula the actress that plays Ronnie is gorgeous.

Fox has scheduled a few extra flights for LA to Vegas.

The network has picked up three additional episodes of the midseason comedy starring Dylan McDermott. That brings the first-season episode count to a total of 15.

So far so good, and I admit that the opening bit with the unattended pink bag and the pilot finally fessing up had me laughing (especially when Ronnie won the bet).

The first couple of episodes have been light fun. I do get an early Community vibe from the series.

I liked the Fargo reference in the 2nd episode by Stormare - "I like Pancake's House".

Really enjoying this. Not all jokes hit, but a lot do and there are a lot of subtly funny ones:

"3 or turning 3?"

Nice to see stripper girl definitely has the goods...yowza

I liked the sorta-Meta competition of Dermott Mulroney and Dylan McDermott, since they've always been confused because of their names. Who was the cameo at the end as yet another captain?

Her name wasn't in the credits, but the voice of the air-traffic controller chick was Julie Bowen - wasn't it?

I didn’t recognize the voice.

Show is really finding itself.

Loved this ep.

Dermot is knocking it out of the park as the confident but not that confident and awkward pilot.

I like these shows where there is a revolving guest appearances every week.

The guy from Cougar Town is always good.

Shows like Night Court, Barney Miller and the John Larroquette Show in the bus depot are some of my favorites.

Yup, although weirdly both her and Duhamel last week went uncredited, at least in the on screen credits.

I have not seen the first one or two but just happened to have the station on last night and left it. I thought it was pretty damn good. I will have to add this one to be recorded each week. I assume the first two(?) are on demand?

Yeah, the first three (now four) should be on demand.

I loved it when the stripper is all please do not tell anyone at my job that I actually love my dad as it works better for her career at Grapefruits if the cliche that all strippers have daddy issues is also a thing for her.

Also the confusion when the pilot was speaking to Air Traffic Control vs the passengers in the plane was a cute bit. I saw the mix up coming a mile away but it still worked.

Yeah this show is just working now. The stripper is much hotter than I originally thought (probably by intent from pilot feedback)

The pay for everything gag was pretty neat (lets hope the airlines do not get ideas from it)

Hopefully it sticks around.

Just caught this episode. First one I've seen. I liked it.

But even if it was terrible, I'd still probably watch it with the sound off, because the blonde flight attendant and the stripper are hot as hell.

Liking the show - McDermott is killing it, and I like the rest of the cast and the characters they play as well. It's just funny enough to be one of those Fox show that lasts for only one season.

It's a decent sitcom that has worked so far. We'll see if it can keep being funny with its limited airplane cabin setting. The characters are fun for the most part.

Is that my little Nate-ball? I could just snort him up.

The stripper really brings class to this show

Agreed, the show has been mostly funny and worth watching.

I hope viewers that enjoy sitcoms give this show a chance. Probably the closest show it resembles in structure is Cheers with the ensemble cast of kooky characters. They really haven't had a bad episode.

I might have to give it another chance because my sitcom watch list is sadly very poor.

I gave up on this early because i was disappointed that the show wasn't about the people's adventures actually in Vegas, not just on the flight
