Hi. This is the kind of series that catch your attention from the beginning. some unknown cast, others not, but good argument and solid history. first of all it starts with the disappearing of the senator's "actual wife". then a mystery lies beneath senator's family. is son maintains contact with his biological mother that's separated from his father (the senator). the senator's daughter as a "strange" relationship with a boy, but as long as you go deep in the history, the more answers you will find for your questions, but doubts will appear. each episode is full of mystery, action, suspense, and in some way we can predict what's going to happen, but not how its going to happen. This series is a must see.

If the lead character is changed... If they don't overcast the stars from other (mostly CSI) dramas. If the plot will be sufficiently twisty. And if the cinematographer maintains the quality it did in the pilot.

...then this show can survive, but as the other comment said, the main character is too, way too aggressive and he causes the audience to lose focus from the "good" story and other "almost there" characters.

The main plot is kinda straightforward at the beginning, there is the Senator, his wife, who gets kidnapped (you can't know for sure she's not involved in the vanishing, especially as the pilot progresses...), there are several loose ends and characters, who you just can't put on the bad or good side so far. After a few bodies here and there, everybody start to see that it won't be a quick retrieval of the senator's wife.

Keep an eye on it, decide for yourself.

I have to confess to originally seeking this out because Gale Harrold is in it - I was a big fan of Brian in Queer As Folk. He doesn't look any older although he's not quite as pretty as he was in QAF. The show is promising. It's a series rather than an episodic drama - think 24 rather than Bones. The plot is moving along nicely, and making a lot more sense than 24. Its big problem is that Gale's character, FBI Agent Kelton, is still two-dimensional after 7 episodes. We don't know how he's feeling. We can guess from the odd flashback to former cases he's worked on but the script needs to allow him to take time out to unburden to another character so that we can better understand what makes him tick. Compare and contrast Bones where we regularly see Jack and Angela or Booth and Brennan sharing thoughts, hopes, fears and concerns. We know little of Kelton's relationships (personal or professional) with the other characters. Not the best show on TV at present (that's probably Battlestar Gallactica although Veronica Mars comes close) but worth watching.

"Vanished" falls under a new sub-genre of action/suspense fare created by "24" and "Prison Break." No new ground here, but worth a look, if you're into serialized stories rather than seven-year-soap-operas. I have seen only the season premier, so the data are definitely not in on this one. The premier episode of any TV series is usually a shake-down cruise; you get to know the premise, the actors, the style. Gale Harold, as the star FBI senior agent, is setting the action-hero style and tone of "Vanished" and if they'll just let him run with the character, this could become the best offbeat FBI-in-action since "Bones" or "Numbers". Check out "Vanished" and see if you don't come away curious to see where it all leads.

this show started off with such promise. the first half of the episodes were interesting and captivating. there was the kidnapping. then there was the back story of the main character relating to the death of the child of the last kidnapping that he handled. then there was the secret society ala da vinci code. it was interesting to watch and follow. then they go and kill off the lead character. it all went to hell in a hand basket after that. the last show sucked too. probably because it was slapped together at the last minute when the show got canceled. how disappointing. there were so many interesting plot lines but such poor execution.

I truly enjoyed this show. It was so exciting and thrilling. I think Gale Harlod is magnificent. I thought the plot was captivating and I am definitely hooked. All the characters were well thought out and the mysteries kept coming all throughout the very first episode it just gives us so much more to look forward to for the future episodes.I am glad to see Gale back on a t.v. series. I hope this t.v. show is not canceled. I think it will be received well from the general audience. I will watch every episode this season!!! I am a big fan of mostly all the leading characters such as Gale, the lady from E.R. and Rebecca Gayheart. I liked the new faces I saw as well and can't wait to see where this series leads, hopefully to many more seasons.

I really and truly love this show. It's a great mystery, crime, and thriller television program. The plot is so gripping, and every episode I always think, "Why NOW? Why did they HAVE to end it NOW?". Really annoying, but it makes the show that much more interesting to have a good cliff-hanger.

I like how it combines elements of crime shows like CSI with all the detective work, and the FBI. There's a lot of drama as well. Each episode, more history is revealed about the main characters to keep you guessing who's the culprit, who's innocent, and who's an accomplice. I honestly have no idea how anyone is involved with the case. And I'm an avid watcher. That's good though.

I definitely recommend it, though it might be hard to understand if you've missed the first seven episodes.

To all of you out there if you haven't learned by now that serious dramas on Fox will be yanked within the first season. To avoid further disappointments in the future just Boycott Fox unless your into Reality shows or Cartoons. which is all they show more than one season even though people don't want to Adults don't want to watch cartoons or Reality shows anymore.

I don't buy the excuse that Gale Harlod was the tipping point to people not watching this show. After watching this great show once again I can't see any reason why it should have had a second season because the suspense was very good and trying to figure out who was a bad guy or a good guy added to the thrill of this show.

Had this show been picked up by HBO instead of Fox I am 100% sure it would have gone much further. I for one would rather have a show like The Unit or Vanished on the air rather than Grey's Anatomy, House, Mercy, ER,Trauma or any other of The numerous medical shows out there.

Having MS and back problems for 18 years and counting and having to see doctors weekly, I don't need to watch doctor shows 24/7. I live with it every day and I am sure many in my position feel the same way. Shows like Vanished give us a break from what we have to live with until we die.

I gave this show a 10 because it was the first of it's kind in 2006 before the writers strike before shows like 24 and Lost which copied it style. If those shows where a hit but I have boycotted since they played on Fox and I didn't want to be disappointed again. Yes I know Lost plays on ABC but they too have a bad habit of pulling shows I like

Don't listen to anyone telling you different- Vanished is tied for best new show of the season with Jericho. People may say that it's not Lost- thing is- that's a good thing- the arc is far better thought out than Lost- there are intriguing teases every week that actually tie to the mystery- unlike the irrelevant baggage Lost carries around with it.

Vanished is a very addictive show, and the fact that it follows one compelling case makes it all the more exciting- for example there are no pointless characters- like the prevalent 'comic-relief' character we get in almost every show now.

True Vanished is not the best show of all time- some of the acting leaves room for improvement, and the senator's daughter is a little bit on the annoying side, but at least we get varied characters, which is something you only usually now get on veronica mars and grey's anatomy.

The real tragedy would be if this show gets cancelled before it finishes its arc while Lost blunders on not ever planning to wrap up any of its mysteries.

I liked it very much. Very good thing I didn't read the comments before watching. Because they all say that 'vanished' is not good. It's not true. I found it very interesting and the actors are really good. The plots are interesting and episode after episode we see how they dot the all the i. It is quite a different show from 24 or Prison Break. You don't have to watch and search for similarities. Yes, it is an action/drama/thriller or whatever show, but has it's own different characteristics. I especially enjoyed the acting of actress Ming-Na. She was really good. But I couldn't say that the other actors were worse. All were really good and I enjoyed watching Vanished.

I love the mystery, the intrigue, and the twists. Politics, sex, personal conflict, and suspense it has all these dimensions. It truly leaves you hanging and wishing for more at the end of each episode. Writers know how to build suspense. Characters are intriguing and more than one-dimensional. It manages to have personal conflicts and character development without being "soapy". Certainly better than the average TV fair. I find that I really look forward to the next episode week after week. Just when you think that you have nailed down who is guilty the writers throw a curve at you and you need to hypothesize a whole new theory.

Clichés, clichés, clichés . . . if I didn't know that this show was meant to be serious, I would think that it was a parody. Since it isn't a parody, it is just insulting. The acting and the script are quite wretched.

"Vanished" tries to lure viewers with the promise of suspense and plot twists, playing off the popularity of "24" and even "The Da Vinci Code," but there is not a single original character in the show. I will be incredibly surprised if this rip-off lasts beyond its probationary period.

This show is what ticks me off about Hollywood . . . they take good, fairly original ideas (e.g., "24," "Lost," and "Prison Break"), and force-feed viewers with the same thing over and over again, expecting consumers to eat it up with glee. What ever happened to the art of originality? Doesn't Hollywood have any shame?

Don't waste your time with "Vanished."

This has got to be one of the worst shows on TV. The actors, and that is putting it mildly, are terrible. With all the lip pursing the "Senator" does it it's like he has forgotten his lines. Everyone is always glancing around, looking at Lord knows what. It could be a good show, if anyone in it could seem interested in what they are doing. I have not missed an episode, because the plot is decent, but after last nights show I knew I could not go through another hour with those people. One more thing....I live in Atlanta, and the least they could do is get things right. We do not have a tunnel, let alone a North and South tunnel. Also we do have I-20, but not THE 20 as they call it. And it's called Georgia Power Company; not Georgia Energy. The shots they show are not Atlanta either. So you put all this together and you have a miserable waste of a good idea. I gave it my best shot, but I can't take anymore.

I think this show is really good way better then that dumb Prison Break show. Its just as thrilling as 24 and CSI and thats why I Love it I really hope they keep this one going and going!!!!!!!!

It has been excellent with the story lines and I like how it goes day by day like in real life if someone got kidnapped. It would be very disappointing if this show doesn't get picked up.

To everyone who thinks this show is dumb u better think again because its really good one of the best since 24 and CSI. And those of u who say that its trying to copy Prison Break your just stupid because Prison Break is retarded and there's no point of the show once there out of Prison so I don't know why they keep it on its just a waste of air time.

Even though Vanished is about the senators wife disappearing and people probably think there will be no point after he gets her back, but I think the writers will have plenty of ideas. Please keep this show going u writers and everyone else thats apart of this show Ur doing a good job.
