Just bullets for this one. I'm not convinced it's worth further comment:
- How did this show get on CBS? It's not about forensics!
- If Bella doesn't get married within the year, she'll never get married? Doesn't that put a time limit on the series? Like one season? That seems like they're just expecting to fail.
- It looks like Elizabeth Reaser spent a lot of time in the tanning bed.
- It's Mr. Matthews, Cory's dad.
- Bella was riding her bike without shoes on. Is that the best idea?
- Is this mystery guy who is her soul mate really Alex Karev? What about Tom Everett Scott, since he played her ex-boyfriend on that show about paramedics?
- Oh noooooooo. It's Eddie from The O.C. With some majorly hideous long curly hair. He's being quite dramatic.
- Who are these people Bella hangs out with? Where'd they come from? What's their story?
- I've never seen so many rubber platform flip flops on television. It's bringing back bad memories of college...
- Ha, it is funny that Eddie's song is about how she dumbed him on his birthday.
- Umm, totally could do without an entire subplot about the intimate shaving habits of her blond friend. Like, seriously, must we? I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt uncomfortable with this whole thing.
- Sister: "Maybe you're just supposed to get back together with him long enough to dump him on Christmas so that he can put out a holiday album."
- Ugh, it was creepy when Eddie just walked up to her and kissed her.
- Wow, she's really pushing this thing with Eddie hard. She's beginning to look desperate. Oh wait, I guess she is--she's only got a year, after all.
- Oh no, she's turned him sappy again. Oops.
- Mr. Matthews: "What are they, shipping out tomorrow?"
- Bella: "So how am I the most stupid person in the world? When did that happen?"
Friend: "I think you've actually been working on that for a while." - Thank you to Eddie for suggesting that maybe she should have the mole looked at by a doctor if it's that gross.
- This is a really long show........
- Wow, this guy went to some major extremes to get revenge on her. He had to put up with all the fake craziness and he faked crying... Umm, I find his plan to be a little sketchy. If the fake crying had driven her away before his next gig, how could he embarrass her by singing a mean song about her?
- Wow, I realize that she wants to get married, but talking about it every time she sees Elliot is just annoying. ("I thought you could go to brunch with me?" "Forever?")
- Umm, they canceled Moonlight and put this in its time slot?
- Well, at least Eric Winter is showing up next week. He's generally a little more likable than Eddie from The O.C. at least.
This wasn't the worst show I've ever seen, but it wasn't the best one either. I'm not seeing the long-term potential here. First, there's the one year time limit. Also, if Bella insists on sleeping with every guy on her admittedly lengthy list of past boyfriends, she's going to look pretty skanky pretty fast. And, can a whole show balance on one girl's year-long husband search? There's going to have to be something else going on. Plus, if they used a sub-plot about waxing in the pilot episode, I think that's a sign that the writers are already running out of material. I'm not very optimistic about this one, folks.
Premiere Rating: 4.0/10
