I was greatly looking forward to this show, and unfortunately I am caught up in the Heroes finale and in NBA playoff fever and missed the first episode as well as the box office episode last night.

Did anybody get a chance to catch it? Is it worth my time? I like the premise alot, I was hoping the execution lived up to its potential.

I watched it. I think it was worth the time. The first episode was kind of jumbled, but that was because there were fifty people who were to pitch a film. That was pared to about twenty or so. There aren't any actual films yet. There should be by next week.

Elmer, me too. Well, some of them were good.

It's harder than you think to "tell" a story, and I think some people shot themselves in the foot by trying to be overly 'creative'.

I enjoyed it, though not quite as much as I'd been hoping to. I found myself playing along, trying to come up with plausible story lines. I thought a few of mine were decent, which makes me wonder how, with hours to plan and presumably some experience with this sort of thing, most shown were just plain terrible.

I enjoyed one contestant's pitch, but then I had the thought "Wow, that sounds like a movie I'd like to see if I didn't already know the ending."
