I'm really excited for this show! I can't wait 'till it begins.

Tomorrow is the day...don't forget to watch.

I'll be watching! I love law shows.

I love shows as well. Although I'm a bit nervous on the this show. Fox's record for keeping shows (especially ones that debut in the summer) isn't good. And I don't think it's really going to get good ratings unless there is a hidden fan base out there somewhere.

But I think the overall aspect of the show is really different, and something that hasn't been done before. It should be interesting to watch plus, I'm a fan of Billy Burke - he's worked with Lauren Graham several times with Gilmore Girls and an indie film (Dill Scallion).

I was watching both this and Last Comic Standing, and ended up forgetting about Last Comic to watch this. Also seeing Adam Busch on TV again was great, I love that he had facial hair and his glasses. But what exactly is his role? I don't know enough about the court to understand what he does.
Oh, and the guard I saw him on Colin Quinn's show, he's really funny.

As a show, it new and interesting and I can't wait to see more of it.

I believe Adam Busch was the guy that wouldn't stop talking and asked the Jury his verdict? I'm not really sure what his character was for either.

I found the first episode a little bit hard to follow but it got easier along the way. I didn't pay much attention to the 2nd episode because of stuff in my house but I think I'll definetly watch again!

I love Billy Burke!

kay, this show on fox is interesting. which is something nobody expects anymore...am i right?

simply astonishing that they've actually managed to find decent writers, directors, and producers for this show. i think it is shot wonderfully and the story is pasted together well. keeps us wondering.

i know i was first offended at the racist remarks coming from characters, but i think that it kinda gave a bit of reality to the show. cuz ppl in real life have their own opinions and prejudices and we can't change that...despite what fictional tv shows sometimes like to portray.

i enjoy that.

i love the cast, although not too sure about the youngest attorney...the 'by the book' guy. don't remember his name. he needs a haircut.

i love both the women attorneys and i *really* like that hard-edged DA. he was good. i liked his character.

i was surprised at the amount of humor in the show. i didn't expect it to be funny. i like it though. it adds to the show. it still has at its core a dramatic tempo, but it is somewhat lightened by the comedic scenes with the baliff and the court clerk...

overall give it a

Still can't believe I said that.

Just watch. Fox will end up taking it off the air

I really like this show and especially like that they show what really happened at the end. Usually FOX has shows with no morals so it's surprising that they have a good show. The raitings last night weren't great

. It came in 4th overall. I hope that doesn't mean FOX will cancel it.

**ROCKSTAR** · 06-09-2004, 08:06 PM

I watched the first one but not the second one. I taped them both so I'll catch it later

I liked it. I liked it a lot! Too bad about the ratings. Guess people really love crappy shows with nothing but fake fluff.

Cherié £u£u · 06-10-2004, 07:36 PM

jayta- I agree in all your points. The DA is Billy Burke, and I've been a long-time fan of his since he works with Lauren Graham.

I was wondering how the ratings were for the show, I had a feeling they wouldn't be great seeing how it is a FOX show - hopefully, the buzz gets around and they decided to keep it on.

**LilMouse** · 06-11-2004, 09:59 AM

I can't believe that even repeats did better than the Jury. Don't people realize that there's something new on TV they can watch?

**NikNak** · 06-11-2004, 02:25 PM

I liked this show. I'll keep watching.

**Considering Disobedience** · 06-14-2004, 10:16 PM

This show is AMAZING!! I never expected it to be this good. I tuned in last week just because I had nothing else to watch and in no time I was hooked. I love the format of it all. The way they let the audience decide right along with the jury and then let us know what really happen. Makes you think.

Thanks to Global I just watched this weeks episode and it didn't disapoint either, I'd say it was the best one yet. Hopefully this show gets a chance to catch on because it's brilliant. Plus having Adam Brusch on it doesn't hurt either

It's so nice to see him on my screen again

jayta · 06-15-2004, 03:48 AM

if it keeps up like this, then it will end up on the chopping block i'm guessing. i've heard more bad things than good things...
