 New Amsterdam (Fox)
The premiere is tonight after AI so the ratings should be good. It's second episode is also after Idol. I'll watch tonight.

 Re: New Amsterdam (Fox)
I'll have to remember to set the Tivo. I was interested in this when I was reading about pilots last year, but we'll see how it actually translates on screen. The buzz surrounding it has not been good.

The buzz surrounding it has not been good. It's development has almost been like a movie in that it has been delayed more than once. Fox was originally hyping it as one of its top new series for the fall. Of note: Lasse Hallstrom produces and directed the pilot. I'll check but I don't think The Weinstein brothers have anything to do with it.

I remain cautious with shows that are held back for so long. Notes From the Underbelly is the only recent show held back that I still find really, really good.

 Re: New Amsterdam (Fox)
I don't like it. Just doesn't hold one's attention.

 Re: New Amsterdam (Fox)
I thought the first 15 minutes were a bit slow, but the rest was pretty good. Good enough that I'm definitely eager to catch next week's episode.

 Re: New Amsterdam (Fox)
I just watched the first two episodes. It's not bad. Not the next greatest thing, and I doubt I'd bother watching it without a Tivo, but it held my attention.
A couple complaints, though. I hate his partner. She's really annoying and I can't figure out the point of her. Unless the doctor is all some sort of misdirection thing and his one is actually his new partner. Which I can totally see happening and would completely hate. Like, a lot.
Also, it felt like they just forgot that the doctor was trying to figure out where the missing body went. They didn't follow through on that.
