    Ugh….Seriously??

    How about Grace Park and Tahmoh Penikett for the married couple…Tahmoh has been set free from Dollhouse since it’s cancellation and Grace and Tahmoh played a married couple on Battlestar Galactica and were great together!. They are both very good actors and they have amazing chemistry…something that was sorely lacking between Penikett and Dushku on Dollhouse.

    He is one of those actors that makes anything he is in better. I hadn’t heard of this show before this, but now it will be on my must see list.

    And half the people waiting for this just lost interest.

    How do you list Gerald McRaney’s credits and NOT mention “Major Dad”??

    OMGZ!@ THEY SHOULD TOTALLY CAST TAYLOR LAUTNER BECUZ HE IS TOTALLY HOT! LOLZ! Seriously, folks…why the complaining? McRaney is a really solid actor, and it’s not like he’s playing the lead. You’ll get your vapid, eye-candy quota filled once they cast the lead roles.

    This sounded like a great idea the first time, when it was called “True Lies”

    I hope nbc doesn’t think this can replace chuck next season, because it can’t. Just because J.J. Abrams name is on this doesn’t make it the best since sliced bread.

    As much as I loved Jericho, they missed McRaney most well-known credit, Major Dad.

    Methinks JJ is going to suffer severe burnout at some point–once the love for his work starts to wane he’ll go the way of Joss Whedon with his shows being cancelled after a handful of eps for no matter how good (or not) they are.
