I'll be keen to see Last Resort ~ I like the cast and I'm intrigued to know how this becomes a series. The others, I'll most likely pass on, unless they land here during a viewing drought. Thanks for the heads-up, PCN!

I really want to see Last Resort, but it seems more like a movie plot than a season-long show. Thanks for watching the other two so I don’t have to!

Love, love, love Shawn Ryan (showrunner/creator of Last Resort), adore Andre Braugher (Homicide’s Frank Pembleton still one of my top 10 all-time TV characters), so this one has been at the top of my radar since I first heard about it. Have downloaded the pilot from iTunes and hope to watch this week. Premise is an interesting one and they will have to have some serious Breaking Bad type genius to pull off a premise that doesn’t seem like it has any future. But looking forward to the ride.

You know me, I’m fairly drama-heavy in my TV viewing and am generally hard on sitcoms, which are so difficult to do right/well. I have heard good things about these two and I think they may be the only two on my list of new comedies to watch. We’ll see. I almost hope I don’t like many new shows as I’m loathe to add new things to the DVR.

Last Resort seems interesting, so I'll have to check that one out. I'm a fan of all three in the main cast (Braugher, Speedman, and Patrick). Robert Patrick is also playing Alcide's father on True Blood, which is interesting that he's on another network. I'm not as interested in the other two shows, sadly. I love Mindy Kaling on The Office, though. Anyway, the show I am falling all over myself in excitement for, returned last night on SyFy - Haven. Love that show! It satisfies my need for a little creepiness, with hidden stories, etc., and since there really isn't anything to fill the hole that The X-Files created when it left, I'll take it!
