Anybody watch it?

I hadn't watched a television show in years (really; I watch zero television except sports), but I enjoyed it. Definitely one -- the only one -- I'm going to follow this season. A man's gotta have at least one...

So far so good. And it's got Adam Baldwin.

I caught the 20 minutes of it. Does he have a photographic memory?

He's got government secrets emblazoned in his mind somehow. I think the idea is that these secrets were filmed in such a subliminal way that certain "markers" in the real world -- the sight of a black car, for instance -- make him remember specific details.

Or something.

I thought this show was painfully bad.

You mean the only good Baldwin?

I thought it was worth the hour. For the plot though, I wonder how true they will follow the device. Unless he gets "updates" his intelligence files will become obsolete, but that could still get a few seasons

Adam Baldwin was the only good thing about it. I thought the comedy was forced and just naff. The show was definitely geared towards the laddish audience (improbable action sequences and an over-skinny woman who can run in 4 inch stilettos.).

Not really my cup of tea.

I loved Adam Baldwin. The rest, not so much. Too much male fantasy cliche (super-hot babe falls for loser guy w/ heart of gold) and not enough of the kitsch/camp I'd been hoping for. Even Baldwin's over-the-topness was kinda' suppressed in the pilot, although I might tune in to see him as the fierce agent forced to work as a retail clerk.
