I had a hard time getting into it at first. From the previews I thought it was going to be better. I think it has to do with the characters. There's not enough back story or characterization for me to like or dislike them. But after watching it last night, I've decided that I do like it and will try to give it a chance.
What about you?

I don't like it, Mimi. It's just not believable. First off, isn't that guy who plays the mad scientist the same who poured oil all over himself in Return of The King and set himself ablaze? No American show casting a now-deceased, British-born, Shakespearian-trained actor in a leading role is ever worth it's weight in quid. I really must get a handle on my hyphen-usage. I'm abusing the privelege again. I have to admit some of my dissapointment may be coming from the fact that upon first hearing the title of the show I assumed it would be one of those uber-cool (oops) reality shows like that one with the hair stylists who switch salons for a week, though this one would be fashion industry based. (god, I so wanted to use a hyphen after the word fashion but I refrained).
You do, however, have to respect anyone who's smart enough to hammer and pestle their own narcotics, though, like the aforementioned now-deceased, British-born, Shakespearian-trained actor did in last nights episode . That's talent.
It was the night (actually day) before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring to help mama clean, not even a mouse The stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that someone who would help clean would soon be there The teenagers were nestled all snug in their beds while mama cooked, cleaned and slaved needing her meds And mama in her "kerchief" (WTF?) and dirty dishes in the sink I hoped for a miracle or at least a stiff drink! When out of nowhere there arose such a clatter I sprang from my chair to see what was the matter Down the hall I flew in a flash opened the door with a smash When what to my wondering eye should appear but two fighting teenagers over xbox and their gear I screamed out loud and moved so lively and quick and said there will be no presents from St. Nick! I've had it with you two They'll be no more fighting I'm through! More rapid that eagles their chores came I shouted them out by name Clean toilets, clean ...
"Make sure it's on toasted wheat bread"; is what I kept repeating until I was finally stuffing it down my throat with no attention to the disgusting sloppy sounds I was making. This is how the scene unfolded in the Chick f'ila drive through immediately following my colonoscopy. Now I have no recollection of this and perhaps it didn't really happen and it's a cruel joke being played on me by Jeff. The colonoscopy procedure wasn't bad at all, that's because I was totally unconscious. I think they had to give me a double dose to knock me out and keep me out long enough....hence the "not remembering" the chicken sandwich. It was the prep that almost sent me to my early grave. Has any else out there ever taken 4 ducolux, 2 Reglan, and drank a gallon of powerade loaded with 258 grams of Miralax? So you would think that all of that would have cleaned out my system in one or two foul (foul-smelling) swoops and I could have gone to bed and been ready...
