As much as I wish it would have stayed on the air, I have to admit that it had lost some of the specialness of the earlier episodes. ---

Bummer - Iliked it well enough. It was never great but it was a nice light entertainment. ---

There should be a law. No cancellations unless an equally good (or better) show is ready to go (scripted, not reality). I’m still pissed about _Terriers_. ---

Too bad–a fun show, with the CSI nerd babe a welcome addition, and a very nice change of pace for Bradley Whitford, who was incredibly out-of-character (in a good way) for this show. ---

☹ It wasn’t my favorite, but it never sat long in my Hulu queue if I forgot to watch it live. I am actually a little surprised, as it got renewed after its first mini-season. I thought it might live longer. Although it’s not true, it seems like everything on Fox is on for 3 episodes or 10 years. ---

That’s a shame. At first I thought it would get annoying, but it quickly charmed me, and I fell for it. A nice blend of _Starsky and Hutch-meets-Sledge Hammer_. It’s going to be a stark year in 2011 unless they come up with some mighty gems. ---

I now one of the camera operators on the show so I’m bummed for that reason, but I never did get into the show’s groove. Every episode was pretty much last in its timeslot every time out. Being behind the CW (and not even close behind) isn’t a good spot to be in. Can’t really say this is an example of Fox pulling the plug without decent cause.
