"I remember seeing the first 10 minutes of the pilot and knowing this show was doomed. I think they did about 40 references to 1980's music, tv,films,politics, and other things from 80's pop culture in the first scene- it was completley forced and contrived. "

I taped the first episode for a review I wrote up for the left-wing website Democratic Underground (http://www.democraticunderground.com). I admit I was biased because (1) it was a Fox show and (2) it was set in the Age of Reagan. Nonetheless, I thought the characters were hollow, the plot nonexistent, and the tone designed to appeal mainly to the type of person who gets his or her news from the Fox News Channel, thinks Sean Hannity is hot, and honestly believes George W. Bush has the nation's best interests at heart. I predicted then that T8S would last perhaps six weeks.
