    Initially, I was excited for the upcoming new TV show. It looked entertaining. However, when I began watching it I noticed that it is fairly similar to another TV series called "Psych." Not exactly similar, of course, but enough to make me lose my interest. There is the central character who does strange and seemingly random actions occasionally, like lie on the ground pretending to be an aeroplane, but the sporadic behaviour seems to be a pale shadow of the same actions taken by the lead character on Psych. Other similarities include the hot police officer who helps them and a constant flirtatious relationship between the two, the black guy buddy who works on cases with him... it was too much for me to take seriously anymore. If you've never watched Psych, then it's a great show. Otherwise...

    Great Shows Always Get Canceled, Why you might ask ? Because most of this great country is retarded, They watch garbage like The real(fake) House wives of Slut city or Anything else that's called reality but is less realistic than a most fictional story's. Full of Artificially Colored, Sweetened, Flavored and Produced People that aren't Nearly as smart as my dog. This show is witty, extremely well written, directed and preformed, it's a fantastic concept and I think the best spin-off since N.C.I.S. Incredibly entertaining and quirky with a hint of Intelligent sarcasm ! I think that the reason most shows like this are canceled is because they are to smart for most of the viewing public so they turn to shows about 16 yo mothers that are more concerned about their hair than their kids. So Keep Failing Fellow American Viewers I'm sure they will make a ton of great shows for you to cancel !

    It is not often that one can find good television during prime time that can be watched by everyone in the family. Even shows aired on the widely received channels of NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, and CW often push the risky behaviors of drugs, alcohol, violence, cussing, and sex by testing the limits on how much can be shown or said. Some of the highest rated non-reality television shows on the tube today are often off limits in households with younger children. TGIF was once defined as a family hour (or two) enjoying an episode of Full House, Family Matters, Star Search, etc… The television that is available today in these same time slots no longer inspire family viewing. Even some of the less risky shows one can find on many of these networks still portray enough blood, guts, violence and sex to make them inappropriate for younger viewers. So when a show like The Finder (starring Geoff Stults, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Maddie Hasson) comes along it may take a while for it to be recognized for what it is… correction, was: good wholesome family television.Looking back there was not a single scene that I felt the need to hide from the four eyes attached to my elementary aged children. Even television shows that claim to be more acceptable for family viewing, like The Finder's big brother Bones, have an abundant amount of viewing that is more appropriately done with the eyes of my little one's safely tucked behind their hands. While I readily profess my guilt over knowing that those very taboos are what attract me to and keep me rooted in the television shows I choose to watch, The Finder proves that a show only needs wit, humor, a good cast and a new angle to draw an audience.I often have to catch up on all the weekly shows I watch through my provider's online service due to my incredibly busy schedule. I usually watch the shows in an order based on my level of interest, saving the best for last of course! I saw the first episode of The Finder just like every other Bones fan and like most other viewers I was less interested in Walter and more irritated with the loss of Booth and Bones for even one night. It was not until I "accidently" caught the second episode of the show that I realized that humor could still be used in dramatic television. I had prejudged this show based on its interruption of my number one television pastime. Once I yielded to his need to find things Walter Sherman became a rival to Seely Booth himself.I have seen so many shows come and go with little reasoning behind why they were canceled. I've been upset, let down, even sad, but never have I felt all of that and cheated at the same time. I understand there has to be a standard of success to measure a show against, but with a show like American Idol there has to be enough wiggle room to give The Finder a second season!

    When we saw the episode for the finder on Bones we immediately said how great it would be for them to have their own show. Then when it did show up this season we were ecstatic! And I must say we were not disappointed! Walter couldn't be a more perfect mix of crazy, smart, mysterious and likable. And Leo is great! A perfect tough tank of a man with a soft heart and pulls it off wonderfully. The chemistry between Walter and Isabelle is a fun sidenote in the show. I do miss the Brit that was in the Bones episode but Isabel is nice too. I really like Willa as well. She brings a young vibe with a funny smart- butt teenage attitude while still being likable and endearing. I truly hope this series is renewed. I think it would be a mistake not to! Hey, FOX pay attention! RENEW THIS SERIES!!!!
