I watched a promo for this on YouTube. It looks interesting.

Bumped for tonight.
I watched the little preview on the site. The first episode is also available online and on ON-DEMAND. If I didn't watch JOHN FROM CINCINNATI on ON-DEMAND, I wouldn't have known about this show. |

I'm guessing Meadowlands > John from Cincinnati.
At least I hope so. |

I thought JFC improved from last week's episode only because something actually happened. This show will be up against ENTOURAGE and that other new HBO show I wouldn't know about if not for ON-DEMAND. Something about the CONCHORDS.

Gah! I just checked my listings, and it isn't airing until tomorrow night here. Oh well. A Meadowlands/Big Love double-header isn't too bad.

I just came online to post about this.
I just stumbled across it on demand this afternoon and I loved it so much I want to marry it. It's completely fucking twisted. Like a British Twin Peaks. Why hasn't Showtime advertised this at all? Great, great pilot. I expect about half to hate it, half to love it. |

Completely bizarre. Liked it a lot. Potential here.
I saw the online version, so I expect there was some cutting from the cable version. Good thing Sopranos didn't end in WP, or this'd be some bizarro parallel. |

Superb. Definitely had a British Twin Peaks vibe to it. Really liked the quirkiness of the whole thing. Looks like I'll be keeping Showtime for at least the next few months.

Oh good. I'm not alone in my adoration.
I think I'll watch the pilot again tomorrow after Big Love. I don't often watch pilots twice in a row. Last time I did that was for Lost. |

Loved it.
Just twisted enough to make it must-see for me. Showtime has another hit on it's hands. |

Quote: The Flying Conchords, and it was quirky and funny. A New Zealand Tenacious D. This duo has had their stand up act on HBO before. They combine comedy and music. I liked what I saw of it. |

I am sufficiently intrigued.
I will watch Episode 2 at least. |

Great episode tonight. I watched the first ep last week and though it started a little slow, hooked me by the end. This week was even better IMO.
It kind of reminds me of a demented The Riches. |

It's definitely rolling right along. My fear is that we'll see flashbacks (like in LOST) that attempt to explain how each family got into Meadowlands. I don't wanna see that. Is the dad totally hot or what? |

Looks like the official site will slowly reveal the characters' backgrounds. For example: Danny Brogan (the dad) Previouis Identity: Eddie Foy Three years ago Eddie Foy opened Foy's Bar with the help of an investment from a criminal source. The place was a success, a destination for a hip, affluent crowd who loved Eddie. However he fell deeper in with his criminal backers, and one night came home to find his house ablaze and his son trapped inside. The boy escaped with only badly burned hands, but to protect his family, Eddie had only one choice: testify against his criminal associates and enter a witness protection program, relocating to Meadowlands and assuming the name Danny Brogan to keep his past a secret. Jack Donnelly (the handyman): Previous Identity: Lawrence Waters At age 14, Lawrence Waters kidnapped a young woman, held her captive and subjected her to days of sexual abuse and humiliation. What thrilled him most was the fear he saw in her face--this is the drug he became addicted to and would remain addicted to. Being a minor when caught, he could only be incarcerated for ten years. It was clear that, once he'd served his time, he would have to spend the rest of his life under an assumed identity, Jack Donnelly, for his own good and the good of society. I guess they'll release one character's past every week. |

I have been trying to watch it but can't find the right time. This is good though because now I have two episodes to watch! Maybe I will get to it tonight!
