    Did anybody watch this show after Heroes? If after today's pilot they can keep up the writing, I think it may become my favorite show on tv. The show is from the writers of Crash and Million Dollar Baby.

    I loved it, though I love a lot of tv shows. Which brother would you be? I'd be Kevin. Yup.

    It was pretty good, but it is a sopranos wannabe that is limited by fcc rules.

    I remember some member here posted about the show a few months ago. He knew one of the main characters I believe. What was strange was the show didn't air a few months ago thus his thread didn't get much response.

    I watched most of it because I had to force myself to sit there and watch it. The characters are just not believable. But the one girl was extremely hot.

    yea, that was me... in January, before the media blitz began...

    Joey Ice Cream lived in the Houston area before moving to NYC

    bottom line is that the show has alot of potential, I'm glad some of you enjoyed it...

    Thought it started out slow but came on at the end. Enough to watch it again but could turn out to be pretty good or unwatchable.

    The way NBC spammed the promos was a real turn off.

    I didn't watch it, but I'm optimistic about it. I usually give new shows (Heroes was an exception) a year or two to see if they will last. As long as they can keep it a 'man' show like the Sopranos and keep the sappyness to a minimum, I will start watching it.

    I thought it was outstanding. Maybe my favorite drama on television already. The last scene was great.

    props for the 1st episode. i just watched it on nbc.com and was surprised. i love the narrator, he's hilarious. the whole 'chick who's married but loves tommy' thing is kind of awkward, they need to resolve her marriage thing bc it's kind of pointless.
