I take it you didn't listen to theinterview. The claim (and I do think it very well is probably a claim though they sound sincere) is the writers wanted a completely different title in the first place as the show is so different from the novel but ABC used the title they suspect to drum up controversy--and no they don't seem to like GCB much either.

The interview actually made me wanna see it more but each new ad makes me less--in the interview they make it sound like the characters aren't caricatures and he wanted to do something closer to his work on Steel Magnolias and show that every character has faults as well as good quality, but I really don't get that sense from what I've seen (which may just be how ABC is marketing it--I can't view that Yahoo link being in Canada and haven't bothered looking elsewhere)

I didn't love the pilot (maybe because its the one mid-season show I was really, really waiting to catch) thus far I don't like Amanda, her daughter and my glorious KCheno (just a smidge). Here's hoping that'll change.

Also, if you have iTunes the pilot is available for free!

It was good! It didn't blow me away but that opening was a great way to start and it was a lot of fun. Like I've said before, there is some serious hunkage going on the show, which only adds to the fun of the four women. And a great surprise to have a man like Blake turn out to be gay! I am so tired of cliche, ultra feminine gay characters being 95% of the representation. I hope they actually give Blake and Booth stuff to do.

It got more and more interesting as it went on. By the time the episode was over, I was excited for episode 2.

I love them good christian bitches! What a great pilot. Its like season 1 DH with a twist

What was Vanessa Marcil doing on here? LOL

I didnt notice until he referred to that other guy as studly. I wondered for a moment if thats just how they talk in Texas but that was highly suspect for me...lol

          Thank you. I didn't realize there was confusion. You cleared it up.  It is more than crazy that this whole conversation is off-topic.
    • Sure!  And we promise, Mr Corday -- we will ridicule those wonderful old episodes daily on social media.   NOT!   
    • "To give her child a name" just means to make the child legitimate and be able to take the father's surname.  
    • I would say, Denise was the ONLY good thing about that insultingly ridiculous plot.  But all this took place near the end of Another World's "let's play everything for laughs" era.  Thank God that nonsense ended around 1988.  
    • We could take an OATH: We swear we will hate these episodes!  
    • Will I miss anything pertinent fast forwarding? I love that Kristina is so aghast someone could think she’s crazy after she just tried to kill someone. She’s basically saying my mom doesn’t know the full extent of my crazy, how dare she! It’s laughable. I genuinely don’t know what the show wants us to think of Kristina at this point,  
    • Oh yes, that would be grand!  But Ken Corday will never allow that.  No executive-producer wants to hear people rave about how good his show "used to be".    Thank you for sharing that information.  I barely remember that plot, but it was so significant in DOOL's history.  Ramifications went on for years and years.  
    • Not just that but Im sure she will be blamed for trying to poison Laura with potassium. Remember when Nicole started to put the pieces together that someone may have tampered with her IV? She dropped it bc she got distracted with the party, but they did make a note to mention that Eva lied and sent a card and flowers there on Nicole's behalf. Im sure they will say that that was just a cover for her to be in Laura's room and come for her
    • Susan named her son after her father, Richard, and they called him Dickie, for short. David had bought Dickie a play swing but it was too big for him. One day, while David was babysitting, he put Dickie in the swing, took his eyes off of him for a few seconds and he fell out of the swing, hit his head and died. Susan was so devastated that she shot and killed David only like a few episodes later. 
    • Mickey Horton got her off, temporary insanity. Edit to add: If only Peacock would air this storyline.  Edit to add: David was supposed to be watching the child. Wasn't. Child fell out of swing, broke his neck. The show had the camera focus on that empty swing, just barely moving ...
