| #1 Posted on 9.4.03 1100.09 | Instant Rating: 4.36 | Anyone besides me watch the series premiere last night?
This is now my second favorite show (after 24).
They did a great job of setting up an interesting ensemble of characters and mixing together a great blend of drama and comedy.
John Corbett so far is really shining in the lead role and the supporting cast is great.
Some of the best black humor I have seen on tv in quite some time, what with random throw away gags like the body in the trunk and the sight of a body being repeatedly hit by passing cars.
I hope this show catches on because I've been needing something to watch after 24 on tuesday nights.

| #2 Posted on 9.4.03 1617.53 | I watched it last night. I thought it was ok. I'll give it another week or two. I wasn't blown away by it like I was The Shield, which I had been watching after 24.

| #4 Posted on 9.4.03 2347.47 | | Damn I watched this show and I hated it. It won't last. It will be shorter than FX's The X Show (their version of the Man Show). Plus, so what is up with that new plastic surgrey show FX ran commericals for during Lucky? That show will bomb too. It seems since Shotimemade Six Feet Under, every network wants to make a show about a certain job. | Simba

| #5 Posted on 10.4.03 0926.24 | Instant Rating: 6.20 | I thought it was defintely something fresh, which is sorely needed on the TV landscape these days. I'll keep on watching, since I really like John Corbett's character and anything set in Vegas is OK in my book.
