I searched through three pages of threads and found nothing on this show: am I the only one who watched the series premiere?
I am head-over-heels for the cast: Dennis Quaid, Michael Chiklis, Carrie-Ann Moss, etc. (including the guy who played the joyriding garage attendant in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off :D). I think the storyline was decent, too, and I’m looking forward to the second episode.
I watched it. I wasn’t blown away by this pilot, but it kept me interested. (The last pilot that blew me away was last year’s “Touch”.) I’ll probably keep watching another episode or two and if the quality doesn’t decay, I’ll keep watching. Actually, even if it decays slightly, as long as Carrie-Ann Moss keeps wearing those (tight) 60’s fashions, I’ll probably keep watching.

I thought the production values were very good and the acting convincing. The various intersecting story lines were a bit confusing. However, I hope it gets a chance to develop a following as I think it could become a solid show.
I thought it was okay. Since there’s nothing else on that time I’d rather watch, I’ll probably watch it again.
We loved it! Definitely a must watch this fall.
I really like Dennis Quaid, so I’ll probably watch it as long as he’s on it.
Missed it and I was going to watch it! :smack:
Is it on-line anywhere, legally?
ETA: Never mind, found it!
There will be a repeat of the pilot on Saturday at 8pm Eastern.
I like the cast, but I thought this was virtually indistinguishable from every other CBS procedural except for the neat hats.
I might watch one or two episodes to see if it goes anywhere, but this one seems like a missed opportunity.
I only watch three other CBS shows and two of them are comedies, so it’s new to me. 
Sort of Longmire meets CSI…
I really like the cast, the idea of setting this in “old Vegas” is good - everyone knows how the city is going to grow - and they will be able to slip in some good interiors of casinos, but keep the old west flavor of Vegas back in the day.
My guess is this show will most certainly be renewed for at least another season - and wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes a longer lasting hit show.
Isn’t Robert Urich dead? How could they make new episodes of Vegas?
Ah, Las Vegas during the sixties, where apparently health nuts went to avoid all the nasty people drinking, smoking, cussing or having sex everywhere else.
I just watched the first episode of Vegas, and it was pretty good. It’s set in 60’s Las Vegas, Quaid is a former MP cowboy sheriff, and Chiklis is a mafia dude from Chicago.
The show was well put together and Chiklis and Quaid both played their roles well; I’m hoping this show might turn into something good. Nothing seemed too over the top, and it wasn’t boring, so I guess we’ll see. Anyone else watching Vegas? Have any thoughts or opinions you’d like to share?
Haven’t seen it yet. I know it’s based on a real sheriff (Frank Lamb) and read some on him.
Looks like a good series.
My first question with a new drama series these days is what channel is it on?
If this was put out by HBO or AMC or (maybe) Showtime, I’d be interested in the possibilities. It’s CBS, though. Seems too safe for the subject matter.

I didn’t see the previous thread, the mods can merge them if they like.
I watched the second episode last night. It was pretty decent too. It looks like each episode is going to have a crime of the week, as well as adding to the overall long term narrative arc.
There’s a new episode tonight.
Tonight’s episode was a little cheesey. But it had Mike from Breaking Bad as head of the Chicago Outfit!
The sheriff’s name was Ralph Lamb. Please what is a former MP? Military police?
