The first two episodes were almost good, not quiiiite there, but as I could see where the show was trying to go I still recorded episode 3.
What. A. Sad. Disappointment.
I am completely in awe as to how the blatant plagiarized plot could have gotten past any and all of the many levels of production that a script must go through from the writing room, through set production and even lighting, all the way to filming. Had not one person ever seen Bones? Or did they not care, and went through with it anyway because they had already run out of material?
I did love Bones- not a super fan, but even I know about the referees episode, and even I know that the show had, and still has, one of the biggest fan bases of all time.
Forgetting all of this and back to the point/plot/show... dammit, Cummings. I thought you would add depth to a character who could be interesting. However sadly, no. When you say "it's a piano!" at the desk it was worse than someone with no training going to a Broadway audition.
Storylines, characters and just general cheesiness (quite literally no other word for it) just make this a show that I, personally, believe will be on for one, MAX two seasons. If it goes on for longer than that, it will be to my complete surprise.
Dammit, Alan. You were much better in Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion.
