The Unusuals - Anyone Else Watching This?

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

It's on ABC, Wednesdays at 9 central. It's like NYPD Blue on crack. It's a cop show that follows a squad of detectives with every personality defect imaginable. There's a lot of humor, and the cast is awesome. Adam Goldberg ("The Hebrew Hammer") and Harold Perrineau (Mercutio from "Romeo and Juliet") in particular steal the show. Somehow they manage to bring the humor out of playing a terminally ill, borderline suicidal cop and a cop so scared that he'll die within the next year that he never takes off his bulletproof vest.

It fills my need for an offbeat cop show now that Life is done for the year (but hopefully not for good. I hope, I hope, I hope...) Anyways, it's a damn good show. You should check it out.

I watched a little bit of the first episode, Harold Perrineau is from LOST. :tu

[ashbeeigh]

I watch it because I love Amber Tamblyn or whatever the heck her name is. I missed this past week's episode because of the Spurs game, but at some point this weekend I'll catch it online.

I liked the one episode that I did see. It developed very quickly and has real potential.

Very good show.
I started watching as it was right after LOST, and it is now on my TiVo recording schedule. The other show that was on after LOST was Life on Mars, and that kinda sucked, oh, and the ending reeaaallly sucked.
Adam Goldberg is the shit, BTW.

Did you do this on purpose? :nope :lol

Actually I don't watch Lost. That's honestly what I recognized that guy from.

I really like this show. Being an Adam Goldberg fan from way back, it's going to suck when (inevitably) they kill him off.

I'm usually too depressed after yet another empty pointless Lost episode that I drink myself into a comma by the time 9:10 rolls around.

:bking

Be careful, dude. Drinking yourself into any kind of punctuation is frightening.

lol I figured that wasn't the right spelling, oh well.

Time to go exclamation point the night :depressed

Amber Tamblyn's good enough for a poke.

Cool show. I think they're working up a sort of Phenomenon thing with the terminally ill cop with the brain tumor. When the bad guy got the drop on him with the shotgun, it left a powder burn outline on the wall behind him, but he didn't take even one piece of shot. He also may have stopped that subway.

A crimeslut...a zombie...a stakeout date.

'Tasty stuff.

Son of a fucking bitch! Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!!!!!!

Great show. First episode was so-so and I gave it another chance. Now I'm hooked.

[BacktoBasics]

Fuck's sake. This show was canceled. So was The Sarah Connor Chronicles which I liked.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Well that sucks ass. Looks like my marketing power is less than I initially believed. Easjer and I were just talking last night about how any drama we get in on the ground floor for is destined for failure. Never watched an episode of Lost, Grey's Anatomy, or any of the various CSI's. Life, Jericho, The Unusuals? Gone. My lone bright spot on my TV is Burn Notice starting up in two weeks.

Fuck, that was a quick hook. They had what, four whole episodes? They should have just showed re-runs of "Life" until summer, and then brought this on as a summer replacement. They seem to give those shows more of a chance.
