I loved the show, I don’t watch to much tv because there is nothing on that I like , but this is a very good show. I will make sure to watch this show. The characters are great.

I went to record it Sunday night, but when I work up, the DVR seemed to have had other ideas and I got a big ol’ RECORDING ERROR message next to the show’s name, dammit.

Is tonight’s episode new, or just the one from Sunday with commercials?

I tivo’d the show sight unseen, as I was willing to give a lot of leeway to the guy who wrote Blue Beetle, and I was not unhappy with the choice.

The show reminded me of the British show ‘Hustle’, which was also about a group of grifters. The characters are less Whedonesqe, but the writing was never less than brilliant.

“If” it was the A-Team?

And I third the comparisson to Burn Notice, and the inherent recommendation therein. Hopefully now that we have gotten the “high concept” out of the way, it won’t focus on the “mythos” as BN did in it’s sophmore season, and just get on with the capers.

Oh, great comparisons! And yes, it is a pleasant change for the reasons you suggest.

Your recommendation is right on the money (The kind they take back in the show.) It has the same great tone that BURN NOTICE does on the USA Network as well as EUREKA on the Sci-Fi Channel. Really nice to have some shows that aren’t all reality, gross/dark or silly soap operas. The more folks on board for this the better.

Thanks!
