Did anyone else catch this? Mousehouse watched the whole thing; I came in for a little over half. It was really good. I especially loved the narration. This is a show that really hadn't even caught my attention up until now, what with Bionic Woman, The Sarah Conner Chronicles, Chuck, and others crowding it out. But I think it may be the best of the bunch. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

I really enjoyed the quirky, almost "Tim Burton"-esqe feel of it, but it just seems a bit too strange to go over with the masses. Hopefully I'm wrong. We'll see.

You may be right: it's probably TOO intelligent, like Firefly. Fortunately, we aren't the masses; we're just asses!

I'd look forward to seeing this one again, but I'm afraid I might jinx it... You know.... If I like it, it will get cancelled

If the three of us like it, it doesn't stand a chance. ;D

You can add me to the jinx list. I loved it, and it felt like a cross between Tim Burton and Dr. Seuss...or something. I am one of those definitely responsible for the cancelling of Profit, Space: Above and Beyond and some Vampire show, Kindred maybe?...that Fox had in the late 90s. And it took my 10 min to recognize Jim Dale as the Nar.

Yep, there are a couple of Harry Potter connections. Jim Dale, who also read the audiobooks of Harry Potter is one. The girl playing Chuck is shacked up with David Thewlis who plays Remus Lupin in the HP movies.
I also googled Digby because he's the second dog I've heard named that and I wondered where it came from. I still don't really know but I did find a movie about a dog named Digby that stars Jim Dale in it. Spooky, no?

OH! And I loved loved LOVED this show, so I guess I'm on the list too. I had a big ol Squee moment when Emerson turned out to be a knitter! YEAH!
Also, loved when Olive breaks into song. Kristin Chenoweth gets to whip out those broadway talents! WOO!

I got in trouble with the husband for saying that I think Kristen sings it better than Olivia, he's always adored ONJ.

I don't know if I'd go so far as to say that she sang better than Olivia, but she was a close second, anyway.
I LOVE this show!!!

Loved last night's episode! My local station preempted it with a game. Thankfully, ABC had it on their site.
