Wait, McW.. you do watch Lost, right? Back to the music, there was some great stuff there. I never thought I'd hear "Little Willy" again. And I still catch myself singing the damn song....

I had actually skimmed through the original pilot and thought it sucked. Thankfully, I did not catch too much of the plot but when I saw the entire first episode, due to the positive posts here, it was completely different. I'm going to have to go back to watch the original pilot to see if they actually kept anything but right off the bat I can say Harvey Keitel worked brilliantly as the captain. The Bad Lieutenant as the captain... perfect. Now let's hope it doesn't go the way of Journeyman or Day Break.

It definitely has potential and I'll keep watching. I also approach shows like this with suspicion because I don't want to get into a show just long enough for it to be cancelled on me. ::fingers crossed::

I can't wait to find out how they take a series that was only two seasons (and I believe on purpose?) and try to stretch it out to last for a while.

Anyways I liked the show, I even liked Micheal Columbus Day which is rare considering how I prayed for his raping and murdering. The best part for me though was the little kid with the terrible wig.

Especially all the little details thrown in about the differences between the 2 eras. We didn't have Diet Coke back then? Oh, right. We only had Tab. I loved Harvey Keitel. I can not watch that man without picturing his large, swinging dick.

After seeing the original pilot months ago, I wasn't sure they could fix it. But the new casting has made it a lot better. This one is definitely a keeper for me ! ( seeing the Twin Towers made me tear up )

They moved it from LA to NY and the impact of him waking up and seeing the twin towers is definitely better than him seeing a holiday inn. The 1972 LA that was depicted was so bland. It was good move to make it 1973 NY. Nothing against the original cast but all of the parts were recast by actors that gave a lot more to their roles. Harvey Keitel and Gretchen Mol in particular. Harvey Keitel brought a hell of a lot more than Colm Meaney. His captain as a lot more likable too and you can see exactly where he comes from. Gretchen Mol is adorable and her part of Annie was written with a lot more background and depth than before. I'm glad they rewrote the pilot. It just didn't work before at all. They beefed up the action, the characterizations, and thank goodness they removed the diner scene at the end and replaced it with Sam talking to the future killer.

I never saw the Brit version or the original pilot but I did know pretty much the whole plot. Still really enjoyed it. Jason O is amazing as the lead. He really helped seal it for me. Nice seeing Lisa Bonet back on my TV even just temporarily.

When I saw the positive comments, plus found out it was based on a British show, I decided to check it out. I was not disappointed. The 70's setting is inspired. It's such a great inversion of the high-tech CSI crap that's so ubiquitous now, and of course it allows for all kinds of social commentary. And music. And clothes. And hairstyles. The cast is wonderful. This O'Mara guy, wow--he's reason alone to watch. As if Keitel wasn't. I can't believe I actually have a good Thursday night drama to watch again! Yay!

I'd be INDIGNANT if someone on the board asked if *I* watch Lost. Cassidy, where did you find the original pilot? I'd like to see that one night when I'm really bored. Fluffy - I had no idea Diet Coke wasn't around back then either. Seems like it's been around forever, but then again I was a kid in '73 so I didn't care about diet sodas. I do remember all the songs though. HI WILL! <3
