I checked this out last night and actually enjoyed it much more than I would have expected. Pretty good writing and for a show that is supposedly
dealing with a potential WWIII situation and making it funny along the way. I thought the Tim Robbins character stole the first episode and outside
of his turn in Shawshank he has been far from a favorite of mine. Jack Black has a few cheap laughs but maybe his role will get better assuming that
he gets deeper into the shit.

I've got mixed feelings about it. It's just too stupid sometimes for the serious subject matter. I laugh a couple of times. Sure. Luckily it's only a half hour. So I'll keep giving it a chance.

After what I thought was a solid pilot episode, this show has been spiraling downward ever since. It just isn't funny enough to make me laugh and
I just don't understand where it is all going. The worst storyline is of the two downed pilots. I have no idea what the hell that was all about this
week but it was just awful.

It does seem like they just messed it up...the emphasis on the pilots is a really poor story. I am sure it will all be tied back in soon, which is fine, but thats what the show is about and these guys appearances arent funny and a waste of time.

Its not True D dissapointing ...but close.

I thought the finale was actually decent but there was a big chunk in the middle there that was just bad. They left it open for another season
which I wouldn't be completely opposed to. The cast itself isn't bad but some of the writing was questionable and I really didn't like the pilots
very much at all.
