G vs E

The Pate brothers have created a brilliantly entertaining show in GvsE.

Chandler Smythe is a reporter who gets killed after witnessing a murder. He is apparently too bad for Heaven, but too good for Hell so he's given a chance to work for the Almighty as an agent in the Corps. As an agent, Chandler helps the Corps to save people who have made deals with the devil via the devil's agents, which are called Morlocks. He is placed back on Earth as a mortal with no special powers. If he does good work, he'll have a shot at Heaven the next time he dies.

The writing is clever, not patronizing. Their amusing use of celebrity guest-stars along with Deacon Jones' "Morlock Killin' Tips" shows an irreverent sense of humour. The camera and direction are very unusual and add greatly to the atmosphere of the show.

Highlighted by stellar acting and a hip/funky/pseudo-retro soundtrack, this show is one of the best I've seen on television.

GvsE is doing a great job at becoming a pop culture icon. The series takes a new and refreshing twist at television. I hope USA keeps it going. The actors fit the characters style very well. If you are a hard-core sci-fi fan take the time to see a couple of episodes. Remember, the show is a satire.

This show was awesome. It was about ppl who had sold their souls to demons and the guys who were recruited to save them. Only thing was though, these guys were dead and brought back by a special agency. PPL who knew them weren't able to recognise them so they were free to roam the streets.

It was ORIGINAL, funny and well made. I hate it when shows like this get cancelled yet garbage like MTV's "Real World" will still be on when I'm dead!

The storyline was great and each episode had us begging for more. I really hated when this show would end and I had to wait a week for another one.

RELEASE THIS BABY ON DVD!!!!!

I am not usually a fan of this type of genre, but I have to say that "G vs E" is one of the most interesting shows I have seen in a long time. I'd go so far as to say it's better than "The X Files," which has really gone stale in recent years. I was actually interested in seeing the show after I learned Richard Brooks (Paul Robinette on "Law & Order") was one of the stars. Brooks (Henry McNeil) and Clayton Rohner (Chandler Smythe) seem to have chemistry that is seen only in the great "detective teams" - such as Joe Friday and his partner from "Dragnet", Lennie Briscoe and Mike Logan from "Law & Order, and so on and so forth.

At first I thought there would be a lot of gratuitous and needless violence. But, after watching the first 2-3 episodes, I thought that wasn't the case. "G vs E" comes off as a cross between "The X Files" and "Touched By An Angel". It has it's moments where the lead characters almost make serious mistakes, but there seem to be some lighter sides (read: dark humor) to the show.

The premise of the series gives a new twist to the battle between the "Good Guys" and the "Bad Guys." I like the fact that they set the show in Los Angeles, where the ironies of how evil the entertainment industry can be fly out at you.

The only other "G vs E" character that really stands out is Deacon Jones (Narrator/Himself), who brings that toughness that made him famous in American professional football during the 1970's.

Overall, I have a feeling that this will be another of the USA Cable Network's crown jewels in its programming. So far, after seeing the first four episodes, I have no reason to think otherwise.

I checked this show out it's first week, just on a whim. I haven't missed an episode since. Very odd, but very entertaining. Kind of a cross between any cop show from the seventies and I don't know what. A twisted version of "Touched By an Angel" (which, I might add is in the same time slot, I know what I'll be watching every week). These days I crave something even a little bit different. "G vs. E" is really different. I hope it lasts
