...is great at photography, sound, special effects and the like, but where have all the good characters gone? Even if you get a show with one or two good characters, they are still surrounded with plastic, cookie-cutter prop characters with no real life.

Oh, Hollywood is good at swearing, immorality, vice and liberalism too. Maybe that's why there aren't many good characters any more.

I saw an advance screener of the first episode and I agree 100% with Mr. Pierce. Unfunny, unlikeable, and uninteresting.

NBC really blew it by skipping the pilot stage for these new shows. Not a winner in the bunch (so far). "Crusoe" looks like it could be interesting but I'm not holding out hope.
