I'll have to give it some time. I think that a show like this might work better on cable, though, since you can do more.

I *HAVE* to say that Grant Show looks icky in this.

Ditto for me, but I think Grant Show (out of the "icky" makeup, of course) is still hot after all these years, post-Melrose.

I liked the Bicentennial celebration aspect of the pilot as well, namely since that's the year I was born. And, the music was pretty groovy, too!

I'm going to stick with it for a few more episodes, at least, but I am sort of with you at the moment.

I was expecting more "pop!"

Same here. I'll stick with it for a while. I think that the reason you may expect more is because I know for me in the back of my mind I kept comparing it to 'Boogie Nights' - where nothing was held back.

The music was cool too. Only, I don't see how long the show can really last since it seems to be based on the premise of the 'swinging 70's'. I think this show will really need to be developed well over time for viewers to stick with it.
