Anyone else watching this? The pilot aired last night. I was really upset that Life on Mars was canceled but after watching The Unusuals pilot, I feel MUCH better. I'm definitely going to watch again next week.
The Unusuals IMDb link QUOTE ABC's website compares The Unusuals to Mash, and as odd as that may sound at first, it's not a terrible comparison. The idea, apparently, is that this show has the same mix of the intensely serious and the wildly comedic. It probably isn't far off to say that there is something of an homage to Mash in the very theory of dealing with things which cannot be dealt with by being a little crazy. The pilot episode is quite a wild ride, and though Mash might be on the ABC page, I got the feeling we were definitely aiming to drift into a Hill Street Blues feel. After all, that show had its share of crazy too. The show revolves (generally) around Casey Shraeger (Amber Tamblyn), who has just been moved up from vice to homicide. She immediately finds herself neck deep in... something, because she is thrown right into a murdered cop case. |

It seems like an Okay show after the pilot. I'm not that into cop shows, there are just so many of them, especially between ABC and TNT..
lol@ the cat scene in the squad car, and lol@ the lie detector. |
