Yes, it wasn't very subtle, but like others have said, they know that Fox likes to cut shows very early on. I think they're just trying to get the main points out of the way so they can move on to the good stuff. The writers know they don't have much time to build the characters slowly. I definitely think the show deserves another few weeks to see what it's really made of. I, too, have faith that it will only get better. __________________

I thought it was okay, for a pilot. Kept me interested. Will watch tonight and see what happens.
The main sister reminded me of Anne Hathaway (Princess Diaries). Weird. __________________

I hated it after 3 seconds... Couldn't even finish watching it.
Everyone looks fake, it feels fake and the dialogue sounded like a copy/paste of every other show FOX has or had. I don't know if I'll watch the second episode. __________________

I taped it while I was watching Alias last night but I haven't gotten around to watching it yet. The mixed response in this thread is making me very curious.

C'mon guys, it was just the pilot. You can't really judge the show until you have seen atleast a couple of episodes.
I liked the episode. I'm actually still watching Buffy. I never watched during the show's run, but I have bought most of the DVDs. I'll post my most updated thoughts after tonights episode. __________________

Of course, everyone's entitled to their own opinion.
My reasons for hating the pilot are because of the casting, the acting, the dialogue and the general lack of subtlety and cleverness. The dialogue and acting, in particular, bothered me the most. Lines like "do you believe that things happen for a reason?" made me want to hurl. And the actors, particularly the "teens" on the show, were wooden and couldn't bring depth to their characters. It might just be the pilot, but I've seen good pilot episodes and this wasn't one of them, to me. Pilot episodes don't have to be sub-standard and in fact can be done very well, so I don't see this as an excuse for the show. __________________

i thought the pilot was good. Something different for Fox, let's hope that they don't cancel the show before it plays out.
The actor that plays "Jesse" is hot. And the actress that plays "Christine" is very adoberale. __________________

But then again one of the opening shots was of a girl in a bikini so right there I knew I need no look any further -- this show is a copycat. The OC with the Antichrist. __________________

Well, I missed the pilot, but tonight's episode is pretty compelling. It's hooking me in. Maybe it was meant to be a two-hour pilot.
The main character, Christine, is not the best actor - a little too blond and vapid. But the mom and the other characters are sort of interesting. __________________

I'm watching the 2nd episode now, and it is still SO BAD and SO BORING. It's not keeping my interest very well, and there's too much teen soapy drama. And there's too little Dina Meyer.
