Just wondering what BBs thought of this show...
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

My son and I watched it when it first came on, liked it, but deemed it not DVR-worthy. We liked the production numbers most of all—especially the George Michael ones—but found that they decreased after a few weeks, and we lost interest.

Really like it. There is definitely a long-term story arc going on, but it's not something like Lost or Heroes where you get frustrated when they don't answer more questions. Even without whatever the long term arc is, the individual episodes are very entertaining.

Really love it. Find the production #s mainly annoying, though I know they were probably the selling point of the show. I much prefer the few in which the woman playing his secretary gets to sing to the ones starring the real George Michael, who of course, selling point, has been in quite a few.

It may well run out of steam this year. Last year's finale was fantastic, I'm really happy they didn't make it a cliffhanger. But I guess because they had already been given the go-ahead for another year, they had to go figure out how the mechanism of the show would work this year. I think "ask G-d for your aneurism back to save your brother from developing the family prophecy-helper" is a pretty clumsy device, though necessary if Eli is going to go on having visions. And production #s.

I like it. quirky. Katie Holmes was great on it last week. She sang and dance really well.

I enjoy the show with the combination of court cases, fantasy and quirkiness served up by a capable cast. Jonny Lee Miller (Eli) is fun to see on talk shows with his natural British accent. The former Mr. Angelina Jolie has a tricky role and he does it well.

The show works well in its time slot as I pick it over SVU and Without a Trace. If I didn't watch it when it aired I could see myself not as motivated to watch it on later viewing, let episodes back up and give up on it. It's like to see TV, but not cannot miss TV.

I just caught this week's episode online. I was at rehearsal for Seussical when it aired, and we forgot to tape it.

I watched last season. Not a big fan of the musical stuff, usually I fast forward through that. I love his struggle.

This season is on the dvr thingie ready for me to watch when I have the time.
