I just watched the pilot while I was at the gym and I was surprisingly pleased! I like the chemistry between Anthony Anderson and Cole Hauser. Not sure how this is going to stand a chance against Heroes and eventually LOST in the difficult Monday 9pm time slot though.
I would feel better if it was on another network. I liked it alot, both for what was there and for the enormous potential it has. People have been complaining about it being too by-the-numbers and not enough unique New Orleans, but I liked it better for not being too dour.
