    It's only to get cancelled, can't hollywood come out with something original. Stitop remaking old tv shows, this one is a classic it's only going to suffer with poor ratings.

      NBC must like shooting themselves in the foot (or worse) unless they plan on putting this on Saturday morning for the kids to watch its never going to make a full season during primetime....

    I'm a big fan of Eddie Izzard but this pilot doesn't thrill me at all.

    And this show kicked off it's casting rather spectacularly.... it'll be hard to top.
    I still don't know what to think of the show as consept in it's whole, but I think it might have the potential to work, if done right....
