This show was fun and utilized the great on-screen personality of Tim Daly. It was fun and entertaining with a bit of angst that made you want to tune in the following week--and then it was gone.Maybe just maybe, networks need to give ensemble pieces that appear to have chemistry but need time to get to the public--the chance to do just that. The cost of the pilot and the first shows should at least make it financially prudent to show all of the shows in the can.This one is gone-----but maybe next time the same mistake won't be made. And maybe, someone will find a vehicle for the multi-talented Mr. Daly.

I have watched the series since ABC first aired it after Alias on Wednesday evenings. The show has a great "fit" in the Wednesday lineup since the two shows proceeding it are action/suspense/dramas in the form of Lost and Alias. With the viewer ship of those two shows already tuned in I think they will find this show to please their viewing taste. It is a very impressive series with a smart cast including of course Tim Daly in the lead role and great intermixed story lines going on both long term and short term. I sincerely hope the folks up at ABC don't judge this series too fast as it has fantastic potential and hopefully they will realize they are putting it up against an established heavyweight with "CSI".Personally I think CBS has went overboard on the CIS theme and it's refreshing to see a action/drama series like Eyes on the air. In recent years it seems harder to find series that are original and ones that contain some concerted thought when they were developed, this series has the earmarkings of being one of the rare gems in the lineup. From a personal viewing standpoint, I am tired of seeing too many of the reality series that truly aren't reality at all but just glorified game shows more or less where they offer prizes to folks in order to get them to participate. We as an audience could use a little more variety including action adventures like Eyes and maybe a little less "thoughtless" shows with no real entertainment value. The question to ask is will this show be one that you will remember years from now, for most reality shows that answer is a resounding "NO". For the producers of the show Eyes, I congratulate you on your originality and I hope you will find success with this creation.

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.

In the past television season, ABC has experienced quite a comeback with Lost, Desperate Housewives, Boston Legal and now "Eyes" (although I have just learned that Eyes had a disappointing forth place debut among the top networks).John McNamara, former show runner of Fastlane and Lois & Clark, has created a promising new drama starring Tim Daly (who also appeared in MacNamara's TV remake of The Fugutive) as Harlan Judd, owner of a multimillion dollar private investigations firm.In a way, Judd is kind of a cliché--you know the kind of hip, good looking, smooth talking, charmer who's amused with himself, but in this case, rightly so. The commercials promoting this new show reminded me of David E. Kelly's failed dramedy series, Snoops. Then again, lest we forget, "dramedies" were a failed genre all together, neither funny nor satisfyingly dramatically. Which is not the case at all for Eyes.The premiere episode revolves the story of a corrupt business man who has stolen one-hundred million dollars from his company. The CEO, and former best-friend of this thief, can't go to the police because the company would be probed by the government and subject to heavy scrutiny that would undoubtedly plummet their stock while leaving tops execs in deep trouble.The pilot episode moves along at a breezy pace, introducing it's cast of sympathetic and not-so sympathetic characters: Judd's best friend and most valued asset, Chris Didion, a man recovering from a nervous breakdown; Trish Agermeyer, a woman caught up in an affair with her opportunistic and dispassionate colleague, Jeff McCann; and Nora Gage, your multipurpose, ass kicking, woman of many talents and questionable loyalties. Towards the end of the first episode my mind hadn't been blow away, but I felt satisfied and I was looking forward to seeing more episodes of this sugary, light hearted series. But then in the last five minutes I was blow away (along with a character I assumed would be a series regular, but not anymore). In those last five minutes, a deliciously dark element was introduced I hadn't expected and now I can't wait to see what dastardly things lie ahead.
