Really disappointed in this premiere. I didn't expect the lead role to be so young. I find 20-something leads to be boring. In reality they wouldn't have enough life experience to be believable as the leader of anything. And that has nothing to do with my age; I felt the same way when I was a teen.

It seemed kind of sappy, too. Guess I was expecting the class of Dallas. Funny that some of the names are similar to Dallas, though -- Bob and Clint. And the wife looks a bit like Victoria Principal. All on purpose, I'm sure.

Not a fan either, I even FFed a lot. As you say, not a believable character to me. Not so much likeable either.

OK I'm going to delete it without watching. I just don't have the time for it anyway!

I kind of liked it. I would have given it another chance. I don't think the network will though.

#2 will air, but #3...? Yeah, probably not. The Fox execs are shattered - they really liked this one...

If they liked it so much, they should have worked more on the pilot. Or let someone else to work on it.

It's on opposite Dancing with the Stars. That's a death wish for any show.

WOW! I was just reading ew.com's review and was disappointed I missed the premiere. Sounds like I didn't miss much.

No one seems to like it, some of my friends tried it and did not care for it.

How weird that it's getting great press and everyone here is negative and reporting bad buzz....

It's certainly unusual considering how well the members here like most of the critically acclaimed shows. Makes me want to see it for myself even more. Have you read more positive comments on other boards, KMI?

I watched it. It wasn't too bad but not to par with the other shows I watch. Still gonna give it a chance though.

I didn't mind it so much either. I thought it was a little slow though. I'll still give it a chance too.

I watched the preview that TiVo subscribers got that was about 5 minutes long. After viewing it, I thought no way is this going to make it. There were too many other shows against it that already have viewers.

The timeslot killed this one. Fox might as well show movies or reruns in its place because nothing is going to unseat DWTS or The Event, at this point.

I'm a little disappointed that they didn't give it more of a chance. But I really think that the lead -- along with the boring writing -- killed it. The plot had lots of potential but not enough talent behind it.
