    And talk about some major Oh Snaps! moments.
    Well the ratings are in and after all of that promotion it only did a 5.5 and still was in 3rd place. Thats better than Studio 60 was doing but not as good as NBC wanted.

        What other shows was it going up against?

        Edit: Looks like the only shows on at the time were the Oprah Winfrey Special and CSI: Miami.

            I hope that the show does well enough to last. I thought it had a great mix of funny smart *** comments, drama and action.

                I missed the show

                I had a relative come in yesterday from abroad and spent most of the night talking to him and his gf. I hope the show is easy to get into because I plan to watch next week.

                    Well written and acted, definitely a good show. I hope it does well, it has a great storyline.

                        Check NBC.com. I think they are streaming the pilot online.

                                I hope this show doesn't get cancelled.

                                I think it has potential to be great.

                                            I was pretty impressed with the pilot. The beginning kinda dragged, but it came together rather well.

                                            Good show.
                                            Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

                                                Great show considering it's on TV. It won't replace The Sopranos, but it sure is nice to have some type of organized crime show to watch. If they can consistently bring in some interesting secondary characters it will really help. The ending of the pilot was great.

                                                    I think this was another very solid episode. I'm liking this show every minute.

                                                    Joey Icecream is a funny character. I wonder what the true deal is with him. He's telling the story of the Donnelly's but he's in jail. Seems as if the writers (and they are good ones) already have this show planned out from beginning to end. I'm hoping they can get to a true finale.

                                                    On another note, I really love the lighting in this show. Great use of darkness with subtle lighting in outside, night scenes. Even during the day, the use of natural light is beautiful. Really adds to the feel of the show.

                                                        I am really enjoying this show. Tommy is a badass.

                                                        I liked the part about Tommy making a deal with God so that Jimmy would walk again and how losing the girl ended up being what he had to give up for that to happen.

                                                        I really like Joey Ice Cream as the narrator. Funny dude.

                                                        The show is very well written IMO.

                                                            I just can't see 4 brothers under the age of 25 being the head of a crime family in NYC. I think the writing is very good, just the overall appearance and acting in the show doesn't sit well with me.
