Lucky 7

In Astoria, Queens, a group of 7 gas station employees have been chipping into a lottery pool for months, never thinking they’d actually win. Money could solve problems for each of them. Matt (Matt Long) could get his girlfriend and 2 kids out of his mother’s house. Matt’s brother Nicky (Stephen Louis Grush), an ex-con, could pay off a dangerous debt. Samira (Summer Bishil), a second-generation Pakistani immigrant, could afford to go to Juilliard. Denise (Lorraine Bruce), a plucky cashier, could focus on rebuilding her crumbling marriage. Leanne (Anastasia Phillips), a young mother, could help her daughter realize her dreams. Bob (Isiah Whitlock, Jr.), the store’s manager, could finally retire and Antonio (Luis Antonio Ramos) could give his wife and kids a whole new life. “Lucky 7” stars Isiah Whitlock, Jr (“The Wire”) as Bob Harris, Matt Long (“Private Practice”) as Matt Korzak, Stephen Louis Grush (“Detroit 1-8-7”) as Nicky Korzak, Lorraine Bruce (“Eden Lake”) as Denise, Anastasia Phillips (“Stoked”) as Leanne, Summer Bishil (“Towelhead”) as Samira Rajpur, Luis Antonio Ramos (“The Ruins”) as Antonio Clemente, Christine Evangelista (“The Joneses”) as Mary.

Written by David Zabel, (“ER”) and Jason Richman (“Detroit 1-8-7”), “Lucky 7” is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Darryl Frank, Justin Falvey, David Zabel and Jason Richman. The pilot was directed by Paul McGuigan. “Lucky 7” is produced by ABC Studios and Amblin Television.

I'll try and give this a shot, granted it sounds and looks exactly like NBCs Windfall.

Damn. I missed it. Looks like I'm not the only one. Gonna have to check it out online.

[gtru1981]

I liked it but I have a huge strong feeling, it's going I be canceled soon. Ratings weren't so good for it lat night.

[London]

It should be on HULU, that's where I'm going to watch it.

[ChitHappens]

Canceled!

[London]

I'm not surprised, the synopsis wasn't a good one and sounded just like NBC's canceled Windfall but at least we got more episodes out of that.

[gtru1981]

Had a feeling it would be, but now I can go back to watching Chicago Fire

After two episodes. (Gee, what took 'em so long?)

[ChitHappens]

Just finished both eppies, and I really enjoyed this show. Looks like something that would have definitely worked in the late 80s.

Too bad they pulled the plug.

[London]

I still want to finish them out because I adore Summer Bishil and hopefully ABC will burn off the other episodes during some type of hiatus.

[gtru1981]

They probably didn't film many of them yet since we are so new into te season. Once a show has been cancelled, they stop production at that moment.
