So far I enjoy the show. And I mean show cause of the cookie cutter style it seems like there has been only one.
I really like it but:
if I hear Jimmy give one more long winded speach
if Eve takes the money and runs again
if a fart joke/personal problem/accident is used for a cheap laugh
I might have to
I'm just not seeing enough variety to make this a long running show. This is like taking the the coach from Growing Pains and making Just The Ten Of Us. I always liked Couach Lubbock but didn't think he needed his own show.

They need to ditch the Eve chick and rewrite the show. I mean even the biggest geeks in the world would find some of that material lame. I didn't care for it and watched the first episode and only 15-30 of the other 2.

The ratings have been very poor. I really do like the show but they need to try a few new things to keep it fresh. Pretty sad that I have to say that after less than 6 shows but it's true.
That Eve is about the worst thing that show has. The acts all bada$$ and then in the last show her motherly instincts kick in and she helps play baby sitter. WTF?!?! Are they just going to give the characters new personalities every week? I never thought that was how she's react to that baby.

The show is trying to be too hip and trendy and it's really on the wrong network for a show that needs some time to (hopefully) find its footing. I've watched all the episodes so far and while there's hope if the characters grow out of their 1 1/2 dimensions I get the feeling Fox isn't going to wait.
And unfortunately this means that the future of X-files isn't that bright either since Chris Carter has indicated the future of that show depends on how this one is treated.
Then again, perhaps that's why Lone Gunmen are still running. Maybe they'll even last longer than The $treet.
