That's craziness.  Who has that much time?  There's way too much entertainment out there to just go about giving EVERYTHING a chance.  Doing so just ensures that you won't have enough time to get to the best of it.  You don't have to be absolutely sure about every single thing in life.  You have to play the odds and work with probabilities to make the most of life.  Time is your most precious resource and the odds are not in favor of the 2 hours you spend watching this drek not being utterly wasted--time that you can never get back, time that could have been spent on something with far far better odds of being time well spent.

It's winter and so far the whole US has basically been snowed in three times already.  Yeah, we are so short on free time right now.

So. Cal. had about 6 inches of snow a few weeks ago, which jammed up the freeways, but other then that, not much snow here.  Although it's not like being snowed in means I get to take the day off work :P

Reviews (including professional, from friends, and from forum members) often do not agree with my assessment of something, but when the reviews are largely unanimous, then I usually do end up agreeing with the reviews.  Most people need some sort of filtering mechanism to avoid watching all kinds of crap that is created, and this show has so-so previews and bad reviews, so I will give it a pass.  I'd rather spend my time watching things that are likely to be good, then things that are likely to be bad.

Not to mention that it's not like you have to watch TV.  There's also movies, books, videogames, internet, projects, etc.

Oh please, we're talking about a 2 hour pilot, which if you have it on DVR turns out to be about 80 minutes of actual show time.  On top of that you'll probably know within about the first 30 minutes if it's worth continuing.   Of course you can't give EVERYTHING a chance, but if you're interested in the genre, why wouldn't you decide for yourself?  How busy are you?
