    The first episode aired yesterday after Game of Thrones and HBO put it on Youtube. I love Mike Judge and thought this was great.

    I really enjoyed it. There were some definite misses and the main character was a little too awkward at times, but it was a very strong pilot episode.

    I don't like Middleditch's character that much so far.

    I liked it, a lot; but I think on any other network it would disappear without a trace.

    It's like a geeky Entourage. I dig it

    Poor Seth Rogen. Pitched the same idea of a geeky entourage to HBO only to get laughed at by Wahlberg as he got his show on.

    That's exactly how I had to explain it to my wife to get her to watch. We both enjoyed it a lot. I'm hooked.

    I didn't watch and dissmissed it due to the Big Bang Theory vibe I got from the preview. I hate that show.

    But I guess I'll give it chance since everyone here so far enjoyed it.

    I hate the big bang theory but this was easily one of the best pilots of seen. I was hooked from the first moments. You think mike judge is capable of creating crap like bbt?

    I don't get the whole entourage comparison, its more like freaks and geeks with just the geeks mixed with their version of office space.

    I love this show. The stereotypes are so true, from the ****ty expensive houses in SV, everyone having 60 second pitches, pretentious "Save the world" rich types... and the MASSIVE amount of money floating around. Mike Judge has got the culture down.

    Enjoyed it, will watch more.

    Judge apparently based it on his time spent working in SV.

    Enjoyed it but was disappointed with the lack of female nudity. I thought that was a requirement with all HBO shows.

    Props to Kid Rock for poking fun of himself.

    was he though? I thought it poked fun of SV for throwing big elaborate parties but having no understanding of how to party.
