I was hoping to see some comments this morning on this utter waste of two hours of my life. I'll start it off.

Seemed like a rah rah for the Office of Homeland Security.
Took cliff notes from all the high rated shows and implemented all of them. i.e. Had Law & Order, Third Watch, West Wing, etc, etc overtones.
And let us not forget that they added the unneeded drama. I mean not the drama of 9/11 but the budding relationships between characters.
It jumped around so much in the first 20 minutes that we were saying how awful it was, I was hoping they just had a hard time starting it off and it would get better. Didn't see how it could of got worse, but it did.

I guess I was expecting more facts, instead of a B-rated movie, and that's being nice.

I figured it would be trash, so I watched The Fifth Element on TBS

I was occupied with Sopranos and Deadwood at that time. The networks can't compete.

Yep was on against The Sopranos so there was not a chance I would see it.

Now I feel bad, I'm the only one so far that wasted my time. I guess I should have known better. I should have stuck with Nick & Jessica!

looked dumb. didn't watch it.

I watched The Simpsons + Arrested Development from 8 pm - 10 pm, went to the movies to see Dawn of the Dead at 10:30 pm, and then random movies *cough*softcoreporn*cough* from On Demand for the rest of the night.

I thought it looked like crap and I was pissed that they pre-empted Law and Order, so I watched Band of Brothers on the History Channel, even though I own the DVD set. :)

Like I mentioned, if it had been a documentary of the facts, it may have been enjoyable.

I was in bed sick last night, so I didn't catch it, let alone hear of it. My wife did though. She thought it was good, but then again, she thinks ANYTHING is good. LOL

All you had to say was that it was on a major network and I knew it would be crap. :D

Seriously, I rarely watch network t.v. so I wouldn't have seen it anyway.
