[broylz]

thanks for reminding me to program the DVR. first time i saw the previews, i couldnt set it to record yet and forgot to come back to it.

[waynesan]

Really looking forward to this one. If the show is as good as the previews it aught to be a winner.

I'm set to record ! Glad to see they're trying to keep the ole gritty westerns alive. Kinda like the Dead Mans Gun series. I know its old and I've all the episodes time and time again but still enjoy

I am looking forward to Sunday night, I really hope it turns out to be a great show (love my westerns).

Premier was pretty good. Looking forward to watching this show this season.

I watched it On Demand Tuesday night ,Walking Dead Monday night.

I thought it was really good, lots of violence and several story lines to keep up with.

I honestly don't know how any one can watch this stuff the night it airs though. Commercials are freaking brutal,

I'm spoiled also. I can't stand to watch anything as it airs anymore. FX is the worst the farther you get into some programs the worse it seems to get.

I have a friend that if he is watching a show "live" will pause a show for 10-15 minutes on the front end then watch it to skip through the commercials.

As far as the topic at hand... I liked the Pilot well enough to watch next week at least...lol

[Guest WyattEarp]

I thought it was pretty good, im gonna miss this episode, gotta get cable and internet hooked up here, im just tethering off my cell phone right now.

[analog_kidd]

I never watch any shows live anymore. I'm one of those people that will pause live tv for 15 minutes and go do something else so I can fast forward thru commercials.

We just got DirecTV and they have a 30 second commercial skip built into the remote. Makes it very easy to blast past commercials. When we had Comcast, I found a way to reprogram their remote to have this feature. Google "Comcast remote hack" to find instructions on reprogramming yours.

Yeah, I was able to reprogram the button on my TiVo for 30 seconds.

Well, the final show of the season aired this week. This show actually turned out to be one of my favorites. Even my wife, who could care less about it when I told her about it at the beginning of the season, is looking forward to season two.

Has anyone paid attention to the names of the actors at the beginning of the show? Anson Mount, Colm Meany, Common. Those names sound like they should be the character's names.

[Mike.357]

It lost me a few weeks ago. Not sure why.

I guess it was not good enough to keep me coming back for more.

That or i don't care enough about TV

Great show. I guess he'll be searching for the actual Sgt. in the upcoming season. Same as you, my wife dismissed it early on..loves it now.

FYI Anson Mount is a Mid Tenn native.

Same here. I made it to the point where Eli and Bohannon have their fist fight, but I just couldn't keep excited about it after that.

[Fallguy]

Great show...and as mentioned Anson Mount is from TN. I'm following him on twitter and he really is a nice guy and interacts with his fans.

[waynesan]

I really looked forward to this show before the season began since I am a big fan of westerns. The first few episodes really left me disappointed as it seemed everything was dragging on and not ever getting anything done. But then along midseason all the character building started coming together. The episode where Bohannon taught Elam how to shoot a gun and survive a gunfight was great. And the shootout in the woods turned out to be a classic. And for unexpected shock value, the way the preacher disposed of the Union Sergeant in his tent caught me totally offguard. So the final several episodes redeemed this show from its lackluster beginning for me and I'm glad I stuck with it. Looking forward now to season 2.

I really started to like this show in the middle. Not enough westerns on TV. I am looking to next season also.
