Is anyone watching this show? I'd sure love to have someone to talk to about it.

Forgot about it. I heard about it. It will be a hardsell for me, since I thought the 1979 movie was pretty darn perfect, IMO.

uh oh, I went to look it up to see when and where it was on. It's already been cancelled.. Variety article on the show

Another who loved the movie. I think we actually paid to see it twice, which DH pretty much never does.

I've never seen the movie. May have to check it out.

The show is already cancelled? They didn't even give it a chance. I did see a scathing review. But I don't care much for reviews. Only thing is I've only seen 2 episodes. So maybe it seems it got worse & worse. That makes me sad but I'm going to watch whatever episodes are left.

Thx for the info & telling me about the movie.

If you watch the movie, come back and let us know what you think. It is an older movie, but I think it holds up ok. Great cast helps.

Imdb guves it a 7 out of 10 so we may give it a try. The reviewer I read complained about a "shallow" treatment of violence. Not sure what that is, but I am one who prefers the violence factor to be light and not overly graphic, so if that's what it means, I'm all for it.

Oh! I wasn't expecting it to have the same name. Now that I see what movie you meant, I'm sure I've seen it.
