I saw the pilot a while ago and really liked the show. Tonight was the premiere. Did anyone watch it?

on the run from johnny law... ain't no trip to cle
wasn't planning on watching this, but i caught the last half hour because they replayed it before the biggest loser (which means, for people in phoenix who don't get the east coast feed, it will be on again at 7). LOVED it. good show.

I just watched it and thought it was pretty good. I'll give it a few more episodes. I think I actually enjoy MTV's Two A Days more.

The end of the show... been there, done that. :)

I've never heard of them doing surgery that quickly though. Usually they use drugs to stop the swelling.

Are there any ugly girls in Texas? I didn't see any on that show. It took about 20 minutes for me to get over the fact that most of the people on that show look like they are about 25. I liked it though.

This, along with Heroes give me a reason to watch NBC shows again.

Last night's was really good...they really show the pressure very well and I love all the stuff that goes around outside of the action. The comments you hear in the background, etc.

I also knew that it was going to end exactly like that...very well done.

They say this show is in danger. Maybe its the time slot or maybe its too much of a "sports" show for some viewers. If they gave it a chance they'd realize its not just a sports show it has real drama with realistic characters...not upper middle class people living in huge houses and everyone a "beautiful" person.

I really hope it lasts because I really do enjoy it...Heroes and this one are the 2 new shows I really like.

It really isnt looking good. NBC is considering moving it to, get this, opposite Monday Night Football. :doi:

What's the thinking there? If the games of blowout maybe they think people will tune in to watch a show about football?

Because they are placing it after Heroes, which has a huge audience. And MNF isn't on that much longer, 9 weeks?

Grabbing the Heroes audience is a good move...their two best new shows back to back.

I am LOVING Friday Night Lights.

Oh, and it has 6.3 million viewers on Tuesday nights...it should be able to get that up quite a bit by tapping into the 14 million or so that are watching its new lead in, Heroes.

Moving to Monday is a good move....I'd be worried about Studio 60 and it's 7.7 million moving OUT of that spot.
