    Royal pains

    Didn't see a thread yet, but I watched the premiere on a rerun last night cause I missed it Thursday...then twice again this morning, back to back. Seems like a really high quality show and I'm eager to see more. Anyone give this a peek yet?

    aslong as he stays off his high horse/high moral ground, i think this show will se great success. i give two thumbs up its good stuff imo. burn notice followed by this...thats a good thursday night of tv.

    yeah, agree 100%. just didn't seem plausible at some point that he wouldn't want to live in the fucking hamptons making all this money and sleeping with hot women. i guess his moral compass is more functional than the average person's.

    I'm not sure if this is actually good (like Burn Notice) or just something they're overpromoting (like In Plain Sight) but I'm skeptical since it's pretty well known in hollywood that Mark Feuerstein is "sitcom kryptonite". The premise looks interesting though.

    I enjoyed this show quite a bit, it had a good flow to it and solid story. Following burn notice it could easily do well since burn notice is amazing and got moved to a better time slot.

    I will give it a shot, just because it is on when nothing else is. <3 USA for the way they schedule their shit.

    I thought it was OK, not great.. I'll check it out for the next few episodes and see what direction they go in.

    I thought it was ok.

    I can see this show running out of material quick though. theres only so many 90 lb women that can OD before it stops being interesting.

    And yet I haven't seen any OD.

    I was fairly entertained. A lot more then I expected. I won't prejudge it's lifespan because I didn't expect Burn Notice to be able to last with its plot outline but I was plesantly proven wrong on that.

    Show isn't halfbad. I doubt it'll be the next Nip/Tuck but the pilot wasn't horrible. But the brown haired administrator chick annoys me with her snaggletooth.

    You realize the episode is the same time every viewing right.

    That's what I've heard. I'm afraid to watch an episode twice to see for myself because I may be wrong and I don't like that feeling.

    ^ This

    Honestly seems like USA has the best shows on TV right now, with FX either ahead or behind it (don't really watch much FX... but I remember watching Nip/Tuck and Rescue Me. Also, Always Sunny in Phili)

    I really like the idea of the show, and how they portray our current health care system as the main antagonist in the show. Gonna follow this show, and see what happens. Hope to God USA doesn't fuck it up, but they've done such a good job with other shows (Burn Notice, Monk, etc) that I can see them taking this show in a very good direction.

    Also, his jokes suck.

    I think it's an interesting show, and adds to USA's already strong lineup. Unfortunately, In Plain Sight still negates anything good USA has ever done.

    I think it's watchable, I always fast forward the family drama part though lol.

    When's Psych coming back on? D:
