A big swing and MISS! Ha-ha…the acting is awful.
Don’t you ever get tired of being wrong all the time?
In the early 80’s, they were offering 2 courses for programming at the university: Fortran or Pascal. It was so confusing.
Glad they renewed it! Was a surprise though.
WOW! Thank you for renewing the show, it’s amazing news! *So Happy* :))))
As a Christian man, this show offended me on so many levels. Wish they air good wholesome shows like Touched By An Angel or The Walton’s.
I watched the 3rd episode and saw it to be more of the vile stuff a segment of Hollywood is hell bent on shoving down our throats. Glad to see others agree with me by changing the channel. Although they were renewed I doubt they will actually have a next season that goes beyond an episode or 2.
Oops! How did I get here? My email directed me here. Sorry, but my comments of Masters still stands.
Any news about a renewal yet?
No, not yet.
The finale was filmed before the first show aired so it was not intended as a series finale.
The show started low in ratings, with first ep, that is the problem, no one watched as the name is really stupid and does not say what the show is about.
I enjoyed watching the series, but there were times that it was unappealing.
Hope it gets a S-2 but not getting my hopes up with the bad ratings.
I hear AMC owns the show, so that may keep it going.
Excellent show – cannot imagine it would not be renewed.
I really liked the show. Saw every episode. Hope it makes it for another season or more.Think it should be given a chance. Sienfield started out with little viewership-but it ended up a real winner.
