Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2004 Beats me. All that was posted was the article. I'd imagine some combination of cast/directors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2004 I saw the first 3 episodes and then forgot it was on. I liked what I saw...but I guess not enough to remember to watch it. *Yet another instance where Tivo would have helped me* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2004 I think it got better after the first few episodes. Child Killer Rebecca Gayheart left the cast. While it's an entertaining enough show I just don't see how much room they have to grow on the show...they're dead, you really can't do much worse to the main characters. And they spent way too much time with George's family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never miss my shows often and it when there is a conflict it will just record it later in the week. Buy it now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
