Waiting for the day when they cancel GMA.

Last Resort has had a different writer for each episode, and boy, does it show. I was sold after the pilot - it posed the question, "What happens when the United States of America is the rogue nation? With one officer standing against the darkness?" (Seemed relevant, for some reason...) Brilliantly drawn, admirable characters.

It became Lost. Yesterday's episode I turned off when King and Grace started going at it on the beach. Won't be back. They have spent literally five seconds in six episodes on the implications of a American tyrant's nuclear strike on another country. Gotta explore those island politics.

I am bored with both and will cancel my season passes on the Tivo as well as the unwatched episodes I have.

As for Last Resort, why they don't kill that stupid drug boss is a mystery to me. Probably so he can KEEP causing them problems. I figured it would be cancelled. The premise didn't lend to having too many seasons anyway. 666 Park Avenue was slow at times, but I did like Terry O'quinn in it.

I have at least heard of “Last Resort”... never watched it, never even heard of the other one.

I saw an ad for “Beauty and the Beast” and thought it might be good. I tried to watch the first episode and it was all at night and you could barely see anything. I hate that look.

I almost dozed off and turned the channel about half way through.

I saw the first episode of last resort and a few episodes of 666 Park Avenue. I didn’t like last resort and by the 4th episode I didn’t like 666 Park Avenue.

I did however like “strike back” (British) and Continuum (Canadian). Some of those British and Canadian TV series put U.S TV to shame.

Fringe and Castle are my current favorites, but I’m losing interest in Castle. Fringe will be coming to an end.

Homeland I find riveting, Elementary is fair, just above Person of Interest.

666 Park ave started intriguing but without the backstory it is at times confusing. I was giving it a few more episodes before I stopped dvring it.

I don’t mean to make ya’ll laugh but I’d prefer they bring back reruns of Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Rifleman, Kung Fu etc etc

If Democrats are willing to cheat to win elections, why haven’t the advertisers figured out that the ratings could be manipulated? I think advertisers should probably be paying 25% of what they’re paying for commercials on the broadcast networks.

No surprise. Neither program was getting very high viewer numbers.

I do hope they bring Last Resort to a conclusion. Too many other programs have ended without resolution/conclusion.

666 never seemed to be going anywhere. Every episode seemed to introduce new mysteries and eerieness without bringing much resolution to earlier mysteries.

The first episode of Last Resort was damned good. Then it decided to be Lost. Even used the same sets, I’d wager.

666 is the mark of the beast in the book of Revelations. Was 666 Park a subtle reference to Satan?

I am glued to Revenge on Sunday nights and was hoping 666 which followed would be a great addition to the night but I hated the show from the beginning. Great cast but it bored me to tears.

Last Resort was awful. I kept laughing at the technical goofs and the wholly terrible depiction of US Navy sailors. Submarine interiors the size of the Astrodome. Firing keys on "clips" so they could be easily stolen. An XO with super-human abilities. Chiefs and sailors acting like 10-year-old brats, insulting -- or worse -- officers to their faces. SEALS acting like terrorists on LSD. MIRVed ballistic missiles with just one warhead apiece, flying all the way to the target like cruise missiles, flames roaring out the back. Pakistani sailors climbing out of submerged SSKs and crawling up the sides of a ship, then appearing on deck completely dry. US warships with Star Trek level technology (nice thought, but, no). A US ship's CO letting the Chicoms set-up shop nearby. Time dialation allowing events that would take weeks to take just days or minutes (another gift from Star Trek?)

The writers went out of their way to ignore anyone with even a passing knowledge of the military. How's it feel now, dummies? Aside from the laughs, just a horrible show.
