did anyone watch this a few nights ago? I thought it was brilliant with such a great concept. I also love Kristen bell so I guess that helps. I can't wait to see what more they do.

Sorry _Jorge it didn't float my boat.  Just a bit off all the  "angels is reglar folks what just screw up like us too and comedy results" ala "Angel from Hell".

Will cheerfully admit to excepting the snarky "Lucifer" tho that might just be  my comic book roots showing.

It was just ok.....I was looking forward to it, too.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I love the whole cast but it feels like Pushing Daisies for a world that decided the real Pushing Daisies was too weird.

^ Great take-- spot-on summary.

I found it insufferably twee (just like DAISIES), and incredibly misanthropic. Kristin Bell's a cutie, but her character sucks! Not tuning in again.

I thought it was cute and Ted was nailing it...I just don't know if I will follow it week to week for it is a bit of a one joke premise.
