• I read that the script was terrible and that Bob Greenblatt only picked up the pilot to avoid a financial penalty.

  • Greenblatt never should have passed on the LOGJAMMERS project. I would think it would be right up his alley.

• she must really love Don Johnson and the script. she is one actress in her 50s who doesn’t need the money!

• What a title! Oh, Michael Patrick, you are the King of the pun! I Don wanna burst your bubble, but if you think I’m watching this, you’re Barkin up the wrong tree.

  I just got promoted to head writer.

• 1982 called – it wants its concept and stars back.

• Nothing against Don Johnson, or older actors in TV shows (I’m all for talent, whatever the age) but isn’t it a wee bit of a stretch to label this character “fiftysomething” when Don is 61?

• Don Johnson and Ellen Barkin… wait a second its not 1987 again is it?

• For real? Who in the hell will watch this show? The script is God awful, the concept is old and tired and so are Johnson and Barkin.

• LOL, man oh man there are some bitter out of work writers on this site. Better come up with a good script and you too can get it made.
  Give it a break Don Johnson and Ellen Barkin are great!
  Its time to see some familar faces.

• How bout Ellen be the sexy, straight man, and Don be the funny ex-wife, and the hair salon be a money laundering operation run by three funny Death Row escapees trying to make enough money to save the life of a terminally ill child whose impending death is funny. Tell me that’s not a better way to go.

• If the three death row escapees are named Snip, Snap and Snur…you, my friend, have yourself a Network pilot.

• This nauseating thing will be cancelled by the third episode if there’s any justice in the world….

• Surprised she’s doing this…buzz at sundance was that she’s garanteed an Oscar for ANOTHER HAPPY DAY. Mandalay smart to sit on those offers.

  • I agree wholeheartedly – Don Johnson is great and I can’t wait to see the show (although I did hear that it’s not going to make the Fall lineup — hope that’s not true.

• Im a retired cop! 27 yrs total! And to be honest I dont want this reality BS!! Ive dealt with “Reality” for a long damn time and a lot of people feel the same way — We are looking for something to enjoy — that entertains – picques the imagination — Not some idiot that thinks he might be able to sing or dance or survive on a tropic island.! Lets get beyond real life and give people their imaginations!!!! A magic precinct?? Why the hell not?? One of the networks did “Special UNIT!) Verrrrry interesting series (only episode I didnt care for was the “being” created from lipo ! lol So come on — We have Merlin! And Special unit, and Sanctuary, and all of Roddenberry’s creations!!! Sooo — take a chance!!!!!!!!! Humanity takes chances alll the time! (every time I turn the channel I take a chance!!!) Sooo lets see a NEW wonder woman and anything else that fantasy/imagination generates!! Jack
