So who watched this after Lost last week?

It looks like every episode will be based off a George Michael song. This does not bode well.

In fact, I think recurrence of George Michael in this show was exactly one of the things that I pegged for "This show will suck majorly if...."

I did laugh a bunch during the pilot though, and Johnny Lee Miller is a fucking great actor.... but oh noes.....

i was kinda disappointed... i know they all cant be mind blowing episodes.. but i was just left feeling "wtf" after the season 4 opener

Reminds me a lot of Boston Legal, and you can totally tell that either it or Ally McBeal were mentioned in the pitch meeting. In either case it's a blatant David E. Kelley knockoff.

Still though. Good cast and funny writing makes for a good show 90% of the time.

"single female lawyer!! .. havin lots of sex!"


even if the themes are recycled, if done well it can definately take on a life of it's own.


edit:: the george michael thing is just a bit odd. they needed to add the shark jumping early i think..

Jumping The Shark will be the Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go episode...
