That sounds funny! I might watch for a laugh. :) BTW, I fixed the photo. You had linked it instead of uploading it. The source broke the link and there was just a gray marker there. People are paying money to watch this stuff on TV? Really? :)

Thanks. :encouragement:

I've had that issue before with the IMDB site but still took a chance. I'll go for the upload in the future.

And yeah, it appears that people are paying money to produce this stuff on TV, crazy as that sounds. I saw the commercial and just rolled my eyes. It looks lame if you ask me. I mean, the premise is cartoonish at best so it's not like I could actually empathize with the characters.

The reason I will watch it is because it is obviously not going to take itself seriously. It means that comedy will fill the spot where drama fills dumb zombie stuff like The Walking Dead. I liked Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland more than World War Z.

I'm prepared for your scorn, because I watched it and I liked it. Not a great show by any means, but I need a laugh every once in a while, and I did like Thomas' previous series Veronica Mars and Cupid. I had read comments that it had a VM vibe because of the voice-over and crime investigations, but I think it has as much in common with Pushing Daisies.

I do not get the CW channel. What type of viewer watches the CW? I liked when UPN was an independent channel. The Fox/UPN affiliate in Huntington, WV also played syndicated shows in the 1990s, so I got Xenia, Hercules, Star Trek DS9, Star Trek Voyager, and Babylon 5 all on the same channel.

I think that many who watch this show might like it, from what I see in the trailers. :) I will definitely give it a go.

The CW was formed from both the old WB and UPN networks. CBS is partners with Paramount, which was the P in UPN, and the W in CW stands for Warner Bros.

As for who watches the network, mostly younger viewers I suppose, but I'm older and watched Supernatural for a while but stopped several seasons back. I watched The 100 for about half of the first season but gave up on it. I now watch The Flash and Arrow, and might continue with iZombie, but it's too soon to tell. I also watch another series that is totally unlike anything I normally watch, but I really like Jane the Virgin, mostly for the star Gina Rodriguez. It's based on a Venezuelan telenovela, and is quite preposterous in some of its plot elements, but I don't care.

What they need to do is to have a cable channel for 50-something males and feature soft porn movies interspersed with sitcoms that involve post-adolescents doing stupid stuff and then dying or being killed at the end of each 30 minute episode. Only have male oriented commercials.

Don't know, man, your specifications just sounded right for them. I can't recall how long it's been since I've seen SPIKE, and I'm kinda peeved they're the ones who are producing a Mars Trilogy series.

But this is getting off topic, isn't it?

Yep, I liked it. Latter episodes really amped up the craziness and got pretty dark. I liked Major's journey. It's nice that he had his own character that didn't revolve around the lead. Most lead and lead's romantic interest has the romantic interest revolve their whole lives around the lead in this nauseating fashion; this was a refreshing change to give the "romantic interest" their own journey.

Also it's nice to have a female lead that is really likable. She has some spunk and is a good person. I like almost all the main characters: Major, Liv, and Ravi. They're just genuinely good people with very little narcissism that is rather rampant on CW shows.
