Really looking forward to this. Hopefully ABC keeps it around a while.

[just.Starla.]

I saw lots of previews for it during Scrubs the other night, and it looks pretty good.

[From: Skulls]

Starts tonight.

Hope it's good.

[jco3]

I'm watching. I don't know what to think yet. It's almost annoyingly preachy. And, yes I understand how the show is satirizing how modern america thinks. But still, I don''t know yet.

[amour faux]

i liked it! :-)

[CloseToShore]

Eh, it was alright. Have to see a few more episodes to make up my mind though.

[Losthope182]

Only saw the first ten minutes or so but I thought it was pretty funny.

[GoodTimes]

is it at least better than sit down shut up?

[doyouhas?]

I watched the first 5 minutes and couldn't take anymore. Its King of the Hill's American Dad.

That was a pretty good pilot. If there was a ever a group ripe for mocking its the eco-nut crowd. The material is endless.

After how bad Sit Down Shut UP was I didn't have much hope for a new cartoon, this changed that.....it still won't make it, but 13 episodes should make for a rather nice dvd.

I liked it a lot. This isn't going to survive though. Hopefully it at least gets a full season.

depends on what you call a full season....12 or 13 episodes were ordered and they've all been made. But without a decent compainion piece this thing isn't going to last longer than that.

The pilot wasn't too bad. I'll probably keep watching.

[WakingTheMisery]

Shouldn't this be on Sunday?

[samsara]

I forgot about this thread...

[just.Starla.]

I liked it somewhat, but I wonder where the rest of the season is going.

[Justin_stacy]

Heads up the shows been moved to Friday nights at 7:30. Last week's double airing didn't improve ratings so it looks like the show is gonna be moved to ABC's dumping ground to run off the rest of the 13 episodes along with other duds like Surviving Suburbia and Samantha Who.

I'm not really surprised. Cartoons never work as stand alone shows, and ABC never attempted to create a companion piece. Surviving Suburbia was originally intended for the CW's Sunday line up, when that was cancelled ABC bought it as a time slot filler.

In the long run its probably a good thing the show didn't really seem to be living up to its potential as a comical assault on eco-fanaticism. Its was pretty tame, and seemed to be a rehash of the Hill's without the subtle humor.

Sort of another God The Devil and Bob, hopefully the DVD will be cheap.

Canceled, but producers say it will live on.....hopefully in a funnier more confrontational version.

[Justin_stacy]

for those interested, the first season is being reaired on Comedy Central starting tonight....if ratings are decent CC has an offer into buy more episodes, maybe linking them with Futurama.

This looks awful.

Well, in that case I'm with you 100%.

This show is painful to watch.
