I thought it was great too. Funny but with enough suspense to keep me interested. It looks like there won't be a romance between Abby and Ichabod, which I like. For one thing, she looks really young. And I can really do without the will they or won't they on yet another show.

I totally forgot about this. Can I catch it on hulu or somewhere else online? Fox is re-airing it this coming Friday at 9pm Eastern/8 central. I really liked this show, too. It's so crazy but somehow works. I hope they're able to keep it up over the course of a season. |

I agree! The Starbucks jokes were both obvious and clever, but the little details, like where he blinded himself with the flashlight, really made it for me. I also liked that he and the horseman looked grimy, as their stories indicated they should. I thought the dialogue was snappy without being annoying, too. I also just found out that Clancy Brown is Mr Krabs from SpongeBob. Holy radioactive mutants. He was also the punk rock baddie in the original Highlander. I liked this a lot, there was some great humor, and nice little details (The "I'm ok!" from behind the car). I thought the show did a great job taking bigger names and using them well. I think we'll somehow see/hear from John Cho's character again. |

I.....didn't like it that much. The lead is hot and charismatic but everything was so ridiculous. Plus they tried to pack soooo much into the show that I felt it was too much at times. I'll give it another chance, but meh.

I really enjoyed this! The actress who plays Abby did a great job of portraying a nice mix of serious cop/vulnerable but no damsel-in-distress shit. Ichabod's hot in his Ichabod getup and has some nice sarcastic line-delivery. I'll miss Clancy and John.

I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to more. But I do wish John Cho had been a good guy who stuck around longer.  |

Or a bad guy who stuck around longer.

Looking forward to watching a rerun of the pilot episode.

I watched it on Hulu and it was entertaining enough. Not appointment TV, but something I'll check out on Hulu when nothing else is on.
I just saw promo pics for the third episode, and it cracks me up that Icabod is still wearing his old-timey clothes. Can't someone get that dude a pair of jeans? He would probably marvel at the soft cotton. And get him a pair of Nikes? He'll think he's walking on air!
But TV always does this - he's from a different era, so he must wear clothes from that era. No comfy modern clothes, no one will blow his mind by lending him their iPad.

Watched it last night and really enjoyed it. And yeah add me to those that wish John Cho had stayed around a bit longer. I could have handled him being a baddie!
The leads are good on their roles and have great chemistry. I like there was a lot of humor to balance out the darkness.
On a shallow note, the hotness is strong with Ichabod!
