casting is poor, except for Walter and his legal counsel. In general, story lines are great, but butchered by crude, vulgar, soulless and unconvincing acting. Especially Willa, who seems to be playing herself, a heartless, selfish, spoiled brat refusing to grow up. Too bad, it could have been a great show. Not surprised at all it got canceled, only surprised it ran as long as it did. Mercedes Masoehn could have pulled this show out of the ditch, but as I said earlier, casting was poor. Otherwise settings are exciting, varied, and one of the few things in this show convincing. I have to write 10 lines, before my review is being accepted, but there is not more to say about this show.

This hit the spot. I have not loved a show this much since i first discovered NCIS. When i discovered today that it was cancelled i felt as if someone has died. I actually went online to order box set, but no point now. This is LIFE(another cancelled show) all over again. Fox get your act together and make stuff real people want to watch not teenagers too many reality shows and not enough good wholesome clean fun like The Finder. P.S I've filled in the petition. And yes i loved Bones but gave up after series 3 , this is much better and could easily go another 3 or 4 series. The actors are brill and all work well together, you get a real sense of 'family' from them a cop, a soldier a lawyer and a thief. I also love the way the show has action, laughs, and trivia, you learn something new from this every show. Law, life, science, art, i could go on.

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!

Stellar cast and wonderful, refreshing new premise! They have great chemistry and I laugh out loud every episode.I did not even know, nor do I now care, that it was a "spin-off" from Bones. My whole family loves it and I think Fox is mistaken if they cancel it without giving it a chance. I am SO sick of reality, music and cartoons! They pre-empt like crazy, moved shows around to where you don't even know what night it comes on and then wonder why ratings drop. Maybe one day Fox will also realize that not all of their viewers are teenage airheads but some actually want TV that has a plot and entertains.
