I don't see how this can be a bones rip off .
My mom wants to watch it and I went "They are showing it in April, that's never a good sign. But I think it's after Dancing with the so called Stars, so it might have a small chance.
You named two shows out of the last 6-7 years?
Plus Castle was in danger for the first season, I'm not really sure why it got renewed.
ABC drama's are gaing quickly and they haven't found any real hits to replace them, in 2-3 years Greys and Housewives will be gone, and then there is really nothing left besides Castle, and even that isn't that big.
Castle had demo issues but it went from a range of 8.5 to over 11 million in viewers so ABC thnakfully saw the potential it could have airing not just in Spring but all season round
.DWTS result show does provide some good lead in audience but history states don't be surprised if it fails but like Castle, if it hints at potential ABC should keep it.
WE will see wont we .
I don't see how this can be a bones rip off .
the main reason I'll check it is jeri ryan .
Right! Looks more like a Quincy ME rip-off if anything
Normally I'm burnt out on shows like these however this looks pretty good and I really like Dana Delaney--so I'm hoping it is entertaining since my list of tv shows I watch is fast dwindling.

Casting - Dana Delaney and Jeri Ryan.
If I watch it it will be online not when it first airs.
It's been on my myepisodes.com list for months. I'll have to set the DVR. I like my generic programming!
I was looking forward to it back in October when it was supposed to premiere. I was worried about it after it got pushed back three or four times, but I'm still planning to check it out. Not a big procedural fan but I like the cast, so....we'll see. Cautiously optimistic.
Just noticed the show has already been airing in Russia, Italy, and a few other countries.
DVR set.
Not too impressed. It's trying too hard to be a House knockoff, like half the other shows on TV these days. The dial is already cluttered with shows about brilliant, abrasive mystery-solvers with screwed-up lives and no social skills -- did we really need another? Beyond that, they even had Megan get her epiphany through some random comment somebody made, just like House (and probably most of the other "genius" shows on TV) -- and they made the connection very blatant when they had Megan diagnose that guy as having lupus. No way that was anything but an intentional nod and wink toward House.
Aside from that, there was way too much stilted exposition, too many scenes of characters explaining themselves and their backstories to each other. They even had that Curtis guy introduce himself by telling Megan what his job was, as if she didn't know already. And if this Peter guy has been working with her for six months, why is she suddenly opening up to him now all at once?
Still, it had its moments, and Delany's an effective lead. And at least they acknowledge that it's unconventional for an ME to be participating so directly in police investigations, though I'm sure they'll stop acknowledging it before long.

I really enjoyed it. Dana Delaney was outstanding. Going to be added to my tv show roster.
It was ok. Dana was great, but it just feels derivative. It's one thing to be "just another cop show", but this was "just another police consultant who follows police around and does their job better than they do" show with a bit of House thrown in.
