8PM on CBS. I'll be watching.

 

[allisolm]

I'll be TiVoing. The premise is promising and I like Gerald McRaney. I hope it's good.

 

[2Xtreme21]

I don't know about it. I like the premise, but I can't see there being too much action after the first episode.

 

[hellokeith]

I agree, the premise is nice, but what happens afterwards? Hopefully it's not a 48 minute greenpeace/left wing/hollywood preching session.

 

[Rumpltzer]

I'm going to watch it. I'll need to get home by 8PM Pacific.

I'm a little on the edge about Kidnapped on NBC.

I was happy with Smith last night.



It seems I watch too much TV.

 

[Printer Bandit]

saw the pilot. overall, it's not bad and looks promising. however, there is something about the show...it kind of has an 'old' or 'folksy' feel to it.

 

[Furyline]

I watched the pilot of this on yahoo last night. It looked like it could be a decent show. Definitely a Lost hop-on, in that you don't know all what's going on, and people need to work together to survive etc.

 

[imported_LoKe]

Looks meh. I'll watch the season premier, and probably the second episode, then the season finale.

8 episodes have been made, so far.... Link

 

[loup garou]

Watching now. What's the deal with shows having loud (not like obnoxiously loud, but same as dialogue level loud) pop music now? Grey's Anatomy does it too and it drives me nuts. I feel like I'm watching MTV. Jericho had it in the first 5 minutes or so.

And it even has the music buildup to a subdued "boom" sound, cut to black, commercial spiel as Lost.

Feels trite already.

 

[flashbacck]

I saw it on yahoo last week as well. I agree with the previous comments: Definitely a Lost hop-on and definitely too much bad pop. That said, it was still good enough to get me to set a recording for the second episode.

 

[JoeFahey]

Can someone sum up like the first 10-20 minutes of it? I missed it.

Just imagine "Lost"

Exactly the same. same music, same premise, it may even be the same show.

That's what I thought when I tuned in 26 minutes late. Meh.

I never saw one episode of lost.

Its been a regret of mine. But it seems like it would be hard to start now.

Netflix / Bitorrent is your friend. Start with season 1 episode 1 and you should be hooked in no time.

 

[isekii]

i never got hooked on lost.

I have seasons 1 and 2 just never got around to watching it.
I should probably start.

 

[imported_LoKe]

That was pretty...weak.

 

[hellokeith]

Good show. Agree w/ the comments on overly apparent music. Definitely will be watching next episode. Oh, and glad to see Ashley Scott back on TV (Asha from Dark Angel).

 

[bunnyfubbles]

the disaster is similar to Lost (in the sense that you have people stepping up and leading/taking charge as well as others freaking out and bumbling around like f***ing idiots), but that's about it

the premise is kind of hokey - if the cities really are nuked, it'd most likely take ICBMs to hit multiple cities with such coordination and success, and there currently isn't any nation that would be a probably candidate to do such a thing (considering the Cold War is over and the USSR no more). But that's fine, the show (as it is now) is an extreme "what if" and we don't have to worry about how or who or what exactly is happening; it is about how the town and what takes place in the midst of it all.


***Spoiler***
A B.S. part of the show that did sit well with me is the telephone recording - there's no way you could see a nuclear blast coming before it kills you - you'd be dead before you had a chance to react. Now unless they saw something else before the "omg" and then the phone going dead, and perhaps it wasn't even a nuclear blast...well its just lazy script work if it is supposed to be what it is at first glance.

 

[Gunslinger08]

I like it, but I'm sure it will be cancelled soon. Probably won't make it past 6 episodes. America loves crime dramas and reality shows, not sci-fi mysteries (Lost is the exception, because of the character development).

Yep, no blast schenes no flying buildings, just a weak little shroom cloud

And what's up with that Jake Dude?

I honestly think that the explosions didn't happen. I have a feeling that this is a study of mankind during extreme crisis.
