Eyes

This Tim Daly led drama is a very nice surprise. It has a CSI classy and glossy feel to it with a touch of humor like that found in something written by David E Kelly.

If someone steals $100 from you, call the police. If they steal $100,000, call the FBI. But if you're the CEO of a Fortune 500 company and your chief financial officer embezzles $100 million on your watch, call Judd Risk Management. Harlan and his employees, including A.J Langer who plays over-educated secretary Meg, Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon playing super Private Investigator Nora Gage and Laura Leighton as sly and very ultra slick lawyer Leslie Town, all operate on the fringes of the law, to obtain the necessary outcome.

"Eyes" walks a fine line between sharp wit and fairly dark plot elements, and succeeds for the most part in making that tension in the script feel complex rather than clunky. Judd himself is engaging and strange, and Daly pulls off some very clever dialogue with abundant charm. He's well supported by the rest of the cast, including Laura Leighton who has finally left her well-known Melrose Place after-ego behind and A.J. Langer, who hasn't lost a step since "My So-Called Life."

Eyes is witty and very sharp and if it obtains the target audience (i'm thinking CSI, Crossing Jordan and Law and order) it will do very very well.

With ABC already having 2 break-out hits on their hands (Desperate Housewives and Lost), i'm sure they'll try for the tri-fecta with this one.

I stumbled across "Eyes" last night, too, and was very impressed. Loved the stylish look, the acting, and the story lines. I found some of the characters to be over the top, but it worked. I was thinking I was watching son of "24."

Good to see Tim Daly...still remember him so fondly from "Almost Grown," which was also unique in its day. It was also nice to see the two women working together instead of having the all-too-typical catty, antagonistic relationship women have on TV.

I'll be watching eagerly next week to see if the show continues with the intrigue.

My wife and I tuned in to this show simply because we like Tim Daly and miss Wings immensely. So we thought, why not, let's give this show a chance.

We do not regret taking this chance in the slightest. It's hip, hysterically funny, well written, and action packed. Sounds like a lot to fit in an hour-long show, but they do it.

Tim Daly is great. He's a far cry from his restrained Joe Hackett character on Wings. Very dry wit and sarcastic. I can only compare him to Danny Ocean (George Clooney). Rick Worthy is great as Daly's more ethical other half. He reminds me of Sidney Poitier's character in Sneakers. Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon is also very good.

The other really nice thing about the show is that they have their character title screens aired each episode so you are always reminded who each person is. This allows you to pick up on the show quite easily even if you missed some of the earlier episodes.

The show has an Ocean's 11 feel to it in the filming and editing. Can't explain it any better than that.

Just give it a chance. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

This is a great show. Tim Daly is perfect with the one liners and sarcastic humor. The supporting cast, whose names I don't know yet, are also very good. All the acting is great, the story lines are engaging, and the suspense is at just the right level. Its been a while since I've seen a TV show that really captured my interest like this. Apparently the deceit and double-dealing has started early, but you'll have to watch the show to get that. Another good thing is that you can enjoy each episode on its own, but they are all linked to each other with the subplots. If you like your crime shows with some humor and class, less technical talk(a plus for us unknowledgeble gadget geeks) and characters you can care about, start watching this show now! Wednesdays at 10pm, on ABC.

I'm rather upset that it has not been on again since a lot of us really put it on our favorites list !!!

Obviously, it's nothing personal, But I don't watch but 3 prime-time shows per week, EYES being only the 4th. It's a smart, witty show, the cast are perfect in the assigned characters they play.

Tim is just thee Best and being humorously Irreverent is just such a delightful kick, and the show rings true.... I'm telling anyone that wants to hear... from this discriminating female, This is thee ultimate role for TIM DALY !!!!

WE'VE GOT TO ENCOURAGE THe almighty "network" or 'producers' Or the 'powers that Be'..... TO PUT THIS SHOW BACK ON THE AIR !!!!

Please "Our Eyes, want to See EYES about 40 more episodes.
