Wikipedia: "The Event follows Sean Walker (Jason Ritter), a man who, while investigating the mysterious disappearance of his girlfriend, ends up unraveling the biggest cover-up in U.S. history."
With proper narration this could be truly something.

The only thing that will make this show better is when I get to tell Gil all about it every week.

This show will appeal to fans who want to watch scifi but don't want the attendant stigma of watching scifi, which makes this show incredibly shitty scifi.
It has terrible writing, the pacing was abysmal, and the actors, including the lead, are piss poor.
So, I'm sure Crabs will splooge over this shit.
I predict this show will match and surpass NBC's other bold experiment "Kings."
So more than 6 weeks, but less than 12.

Certainly sounds like the perfect replacement for Lost.
This show is legit.
It's not very plausible...a Black President? Who'd believe that shit?
Quote from: Alan SepinwallI wouldn't be surprised if "The Event" does a good rating for its premiere (though given NBC's recent struggles to launch anything, I also wouldn't be surprised if it just holds onto the "Chuck" lead-in audience), nor would I be surprised if viewers are excited at first. Both of those things happened with "FlashForward," too, before everyone got frustrated and turned away. The pilot is a lot of flash and no substance. It wants me to want to find out what the event is, but I don't care, and I imagine within a week or three, neither will most of the audience.
Although Sepinwall isn't intrigued, I am... for now. I'm intrigued to see what's going on, but I can't imagine this show being anything but bad. I don't mind the skipping around, but it just seemed awkward and hectic. Relax a little. I'm sure it will calm as the show progresses... I hope.

So, the determining factor of what makes a show "shitty scifi" or not is whether or not the "normals" feel comfortable watching it?
I guess any show that doesn't offer a cultish sense of nerd exclusivity—that doesn't immediately alienate the philistine hoards—lacks that special scifi
je ne sais quoi that serves as the social marker of difference Gil apparently needs to validate his identity as a member of the intellectual elite.

FlashForward really is the perfect comparison.
That show sucked.
I finally got to watch The Event last night. The acting is bad. The president is a black guy named Martinez...IMAGINE THAT!
Anyway, I thought the show was decent enough to keep me in for at least another episode. I'm thinking it's teh suck, though.
