So I thought it would be bad, but it was worse than I even imagined. It will get respectable numbers because it was in the post-Idol slot and it was a premiere, but the audience will be running quickly. I'd even venture to say I was more entertained by last year's offering of Unan1mous (I believe I made it through two episodes of that stinker).

Yes, I did watch it, and despite what I thought of it's quality I am not going to assume things, because America has liked shows I consider to be bad before.

It was ok but I didn't like it that much, the questions were so ridiculously easy that I don't understand why you need 3 "cheats" to play the game. I wouldn't be surprised if you had to take a test and get below 60% in order to qualify for playing. Despite it's low quality I will will probably still watch it's episode on Thursday because I have nothing else to watch.

I thought it was fun to try and guess what the answers were and the only question I got right was the REM question, but I think I will watch again, I watched it with family and we all enjoyed it!
I didn't see it. Maybe this Thursday with Greys a repeat and the OC now done I'll give it a chance. Overall, does anyone think it can survive opposite Ugly Betty, Survivor, Smallville, and the NBC comedies or will it pull Til Death level results?
1st, we need to see if it can hold on to last night numbers for tonight and Thurs.
It may still come in 4th, but it will be much closer to Earl/Office than Smallville. It may even have a chance at beating NBC if it can steal some Suvivor viewers away.

Four of the six episodes are coming after AI shows (yesterdays, tonights, March 1 and March 8). If after that it retains even a third of its premiere audience, then we'll see it again...I'd say the chances are about 50-50 for it.
The numbers for the premiere are very good, and this show does fit well out of American Idol. It is very compatible and keeping it at a half hour was a very smart move by FOX. I think it will do very well tonight (probably a small drop). But, in terms of quality, it was a mess.
