I think that is exactly who NBC is targeting this show to - the 'dateless geeks.' I really don't think it's a family time show. What with a girl that throws herself off of high standing platforms and shoves her hand down the garbage disposal. And the whole trick with pushing her rib back in. I would think most children to young for this show would already be in bed by 9pm anyway. No?

 

The point I am making is why do the networks try to compete in the titilation department when they lose hands down to cable and the internet? The crowd they are appealing to are getting their thrills somewhere else. Instead of gimmicks like this, concentrate on good story.

I hear you. I think that the data has shown 'good story' doesn't work. People WANT scandal and sex (see Desparate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, etc). No. They can't compete with cable, but since broadcast is still free a lot of people aren't going to pay for something that they can get for nothing. wink.gif

 

I think the target demographic (Men 18-54 or whatever) that watch TV doesn't give a hoot about 'good story.' They want the visual stimulation. I mean look at the games for the PS2 and XBOX - need I say more? 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

I was blown away with this episode ! - I am offically hooked.

 

It's got a creppy film noir feel to it with the viewer not really sure what's going on and being given small tidbits. I only hope that the can keep this pace and not venture off onto some idiotic direction that makes the show lose it's enimagtic quality,

It did have that "Memento" style movement of the japanese character. Really good. thumbsup2.gif

Dammit, I missed last week and wanted to check it out this week and missed it again foreheadslap.gif

They said at the end if you missed an episode "go to NBC.com". The full premiere episode is there, but the 2nd one isn't available yet.
