Which we greatly appreciate everyone’s input on their takes on the show.

Give me a bit… I might hit it up online too! No promises though.

I avoided it on purpose – just tired of getting interested in new shows that get yanked, and this show has early cancellation written all over it (as explained by webdiva).

But, working late one night, I pulled up the on-line episodes and watched the first two. I finished the next three tonight (and checked the on-line guide that at least has the next two episodes scheduled for the next two Sundays @ 10pm).

Why hasn’t this show received any review on this site?

So far, I like Defying Gravity — a lot. I think the casting and the scripts are much better than Virtuality, which I found to be annoying in the extreme despite liking Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in New Amsterdam (I’d have preferred him to stay on that show and have it renewed than to have him abort in the misbegotten Virtuality). Just because Fox has Fringe and 24 doesn’t mean it can’t screw up. It can.

In fact, I found Defying Gravity so far to be as compelling as Kings (another show I wish had been renewed). But I have to say that I also literally found the show absolutely by accident, in the print TV Guide listings just this week, and had to catch up by watching the first four episodes online. Don’t those twits at ABC know how to cross-promote a sci-fi show on other networks and cable, where sci-fi fans might learn about it?? I mean, really: those ads should be pasted all over SciFi Channel (whoops! I *really* hate the new spelling; dorks!) and USA Network, but also on, for example, HBO before and after episodes of True Blood — there’s a natural crossover audience there. Besides, there’s nothing about the ABC lead-in shows on Sunday night that would attract sci-fi fans. What idiot wants to spend time with a twit program like Shark Tank??! Also, why would sci-fi fans EVER watch Regis Philbin?? Seriously. And if someone had described Defying Gravity to me in advance as a cross between Gray’s Anatomy and ANYTHING else, I’d probably never have given it a chance. ABC screwed up big time in doing that.

That said, I hope they keep the program on the schedule. In fact, I’d be happy to watch new episodes of Defying Gravity right after new episodes of Castle, another smart show. Perhaps the ABC programmers will take the hint …

It’s not hardcore Sci Fi, but is an enjoyable midway between sci fi and relationship drama. Plus it has ‘Plow Guy’ from Men in Trees. Bonus!

Always Sunny is also real good for laughs.

None of those shows are on NBC.
Lol! Nbc you suck!!

And after the Season 2 finale, I’m dying to see what happens next.

I’ve pretty much lost interest in 24. I may come back when they finally kill of Gerafalo’s character (the only character I ever PRAYED would get one in the temple). But until then, it’s gotten to liberal for my tastes.

And ABC needs to give Better Off Ted a little more promotion for Season 2 (IF they bring it back)

I think you meant to say Rescue Me WAS one of the best shows. It has turned into a mess this season but like a bad addiction, I can’t stop watching it.

Glad to see they’re bringing Shawn Ryan to Lie To Me. It’s amazing what Mr. Ryan has done with the Shield, one of the best shows I have ever seen. Lie To Me is also one of my new favorites; just acting alone on that show is above most TV.

Of course can’t wait until the Office comes back, even though it’s loosing steam it’s still really good.

And the one show that’s #1 on my most wanted is Sunny in Philly. Funniest show out there.

On another topic, Damages is one of the best dramas on TV. If you haven’t watched it rent the first season on DVD. Once you start watching you won’t be able to stop.

It really didn’t draw me in, so I’ve not been compelled to watch it.

So far, we seem to have 2 nay, 1 yay! Cool thoughts everyone, cool thoughts.

I hope Damages returns its a quality show although some of the side stories are getting to be silly. I know Glen Close gets a big paycheck but I can only watch so much of her character deconstruct. I say keep her strong and mean.
