They promoted the crap out of this during AGT and Ninja, so had to give it a shot.

Dind't hate it, ratings were just ok, could be cancelled, but I'll give it a few eps.

We're overloading on attorney shows. It was ok, nothing really outstanding.

I passed. If they were going to use Jimmy Smits, they might as well have just resurrected L.A. Law. Hell, nearly everything else has been rebooted or revived.

They tried and failed to do that three years ago.

The Idealism and the Daddy-Daughter issues were so heavy-handed in the promotions that it was a huge turn-off for me.

That's what I originally thought this was when the previews first came out.

It would have fit in with the trailer montage at the beginning of Tropic Thunder

No more episodes will be ordered after 10 episodes wrap production.

The show is shot on location in Memphis and according to this article, this may hurt the local economy. They had to pay a bunch of tax credits to NBC to film it there.

Have there been studies on what the upside to city's giving these productions tax credits?

Anyway, not surprised, looked like every other legal drama.

It's a gamble. Memphis was hoping that paying those credits would reduce the production cost for the show, which would allow NBC to film there for years to come and bring in jobs and money into the local economy.

But, it sometimes doesn't work in their favor.

This is what NBC received from Memphis

This is all tax payer and city money, so yeah that's a huge bill to bring in filming to the local economy.

I watched all 10 episodes and thought it was fine, and McGee is cute. Nothing special, though.

I saw they advertised it as the season finale next week so maybe there is hope

It seems like a show that would fit in the CBS demographic.
