So far this show isn't very good but I'll sit through anything to see Michael Vartan on my TV screen. I will support any television project he does. I feel awful because I fell asleep in the middle of the last episode.
I am loving Michael's/James chemistry with Nia Long's character Katie. In fact I think they are the best thing about the show so far. Duncan is my third favorite but he is skeevy as hell.
This show has possibilities but I have a feeling it's not going to last very long.

Dylan McDermott has pretty blue eyes. That's all I can say that's good about this show.
It's just so disappointing because I love Dylan, Joshua Malina, and Christopher Titus. But they all seem to be doing different shows. It's just so disjointed. I'm giving it two more episodes before cancellation.

This is a good, "It's Thursday night and my brain is fried...pretty!" kind of show. I just enjoy the lovely images of Vartan, McDermott, and Titus. However Malina, who usually annoys me, has the one storyline that actually makes me laugh.

Yeah, the bit where him and his ex-mistress were working out a custody arrangement with his wife was hilarious. I rarely ever laugh out loud but that did it.

According to wikipedia, it's just on hiatus until after Thanksgiving.
I'm surprised it's still on the air, quite frankly. I gave up after the third episode.

I have the weirdest relationship with this show. I've never thought it was very good, yet I've seen nearly every episode (I slept through half of the first episode and the end of the third or something like that).
I have no love for Malina, and I found the focus on his storyline while Titus has been largely ignored somewhat confusing. But then again, I loved Titus on Fox, so I come with a pre-established interest in him.
I really, really liked Vartan on Alias, but he's seemed pretty lifeless on Big Shots until the last episode. I liked his quick reply "I'm his ride!" while all the guys were trying to get out of hanging out with Brody's father-in-law.
I don't know. It's an interesting diversion -- not as LIFE AND DEATH as its time-slot mates ER and Without a Trace -- but I just think given its pedigree it should be much better.

It should be a lot better than it is. I don't know anything about Vartan, but I love the rest of them. Malina is good at the dramedy thing, Titus is funny as hell, and with McDermott the character he plays is right in his very narrow wheelhouse. I love the man but about all he can handle is smarmy lothario rich guy with pretty blue eyes or hardworking morally conflicted lawyer with pretty blue eyes.
It just seems like there's really nothing to this show. And the stupid tranny hooker storyline is just incredibly annoying.

I also watch this almost religiously and I sincerely don't even like it all that much. It's just at that right timeslot where I have nothing to watch and am inevitably home.
I do think McDermott's ex-wife and daughter are gorge and we all knew Nia Long's character and Vartan's character would get together eventually but not like THAT.
I wish Christopher Titus had more to do. He doesn't have his own storyline, he's just taking care of someone's mess all the time.

I actually think this show is getting better with each episode.
At first I didn't like it much. But now I can honestly say I'm kind of enjoying it.
