Members Juliajms Posted March 2, 2012 Members Share Posted March 2, 2012 I had high hopes for this, until I saw the previews. It looks like over the top camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 2, 2012 Members Share Posted March 2, 2012 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.

Members DRW50 Posted March 2, 2012 Members Share Posted March 2, 2012 I hadn't listened yet. I'm surprised they thought they could get the title changed, but they were right to try to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members London Posted March 4, 2012 Members Share Posted March 4, 2012 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 I've been LOL'ing at some of the dialogue. I was thinking by the ads that this show was going to poke fun of my religion. But, it's really not. Quite a good show so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 I LOVED IT! It was hilarious. I don't know why my fellow Christians are boycotting and everything. It really wasn't poking fun at us. Some people just act like those girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 I loved it too. It is much better than that dreadful show it replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 Wow, I loved it. Such bitchy, catty, soapy fun. I'm so glad this came now - just as my other soapy pleasure, Desperate Housewives, is ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gtru1981 Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 i agree with everyone...LOVED IT! Looks like ABC has me locked in with UPAT and this show!

Members Soapsuds Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 I hope they move it to DH's timeslot next year if it makes it in the ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hsfolk Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 I love Blake We've never seen a gay like him before and if Heather was friends in high school with Amanda why is she so against her right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
