Have the DVR ready to tape it.

I watched the first ten minutes of it and could already tell it was going to suck..........

I like it so far. Not spectacular but entertaining none the less.

Wonder how many shows are going to go "behind the badge"

Effing DVR didn't record it for some reason

pretty meh. I was disappointed

its a John Wells production. not. a. fan.

America's destiny is not of our own choosing. We did not seek nor did we provoke an assault on our freedom and our way of life. We did not expect nor did we invite a confrontation with evil. Yet the true measure of a people's strength is how they rise to master that moment when it does arrive.

Yeah, The West Wing and ER, both produced by Wells, were pretty terrible.

no disagreement with the west wing as a whole perhaps. that is until Wells took the helm by himself, after sorkin and tommas schlamme left. the west wing without those two, only wells, was pretty bad.

regarding er, i never paid any attention to it until late in its existence, and thought it was pretty terrible. maybe it was good the first few seasons. but wasnt er written and created by Michael Crichton?

after watching a few episodes of the OC over the past few years, and just watching the Southland pilot, I just realized I was friends with Ben McKenzie in middle school. he doesnt carry his last name anymore. crazy.

good episode. ill keep watching.

anybody else pick up on the older cop/trainer being at a gay bar after work?? both bartenders were pumped up, wore wife beaters, and no chicas nada in the bar?

saw that sonora

guess im the only guy on here who enjoyed the first episode. im gonna give it a shot and quit watching when it starts sucking.

i'll watch it for a couple of weeks. really like the actor, micheal cudlitz, who plays the trainer. he was great in "band of brothers"

i liked the unusuals also. just quirky and weird enuff for my tastes.

Just the pilot. Wells was the showrunner, Crichton and Spielberg were never involved day-to-day.

This. I fell asleep 10 minutes into it. Just awfully slow and boring.

it is on hulu for those that missed it. just watch it there.

I enjoyed it.

Ryan (or whatever his name is) has a real draw to him. He is always very likable.

I thought it was worth watching, but it definitely had an 'ER' feel to it- where the emphasis is on how the cops deal with what they see at work and how it affects their personal lives

yeah I think the veteran cop might be a gay

watching now, I guess it is a repeat? I actually like it so far.

he was also the steroid using jock guy in 90210 who steve sanders narc'ed on. later i think he took brenda to the prom.
i'm watching the ep now on DVR and tells the rookie at one point "you got 90210 written all over your face". i laughed.

ER was based on a non-fiction book by Crichton called Five Patients. It was written about Crichtons time spent as a resident in Chicago.

I liked Southland. Its harder and harder to watch a new show these days with so many getting canceled after year one or two. Its not worth it to get into the characters because there is a really good chance they wont be around long...

had the pilot DVR'd and finally found an hour to watch it.

i'll be tuning in every week.

I just watched the pilot online. I thought it was pretty good.

I liked the first episode, but will wait until the series comes out on DVD. The business of having characters curse and then bleeping them is annoying. I'll be 63 this July. I've heard and (unfortunately) used all of these words before. This show would have been much better suited to cable.

Looking forward to the episode tonight. I like this show.
