The 2005-2006 season has been an uncommonly good one for FOX overall. Which is a refreshing change after many seasons of canceling wonderful shows (including Firefly, John Doe, Futurama and many others) and abysmal reality shows. For some time it appeared FOX had given up on virtually all quality programming.However this season we had "House". "Bones". "Prison Break". "24". Let's not forget cornerstones like "American Idol". Overall a quality season.And... then came "Unan1mous". Eww. Amidst a lineup of shows, a number of which were real winners, FOX reverts to type for a moment and brings on garbage like this. A banal reality show in keeping with such "gems" as Joe Millionaire and Mr Personality. What can I saw about this show except - STOP MAKING THINGS LIKE THIS! If you ever get a chance to see this, for heaven's sake, DON'T! Oh, well. FOX has redeemed themselves, for the most part, in my eyes. Prison Break, 24 and House are excellent shows. I can forgive them for Unan1mous.I forgive them less for canceling "Arrested Development", one of the best comedies in years, but that is another story... ;)

I have given this some thought and I am now prepared to say that, of all the television shows that I have ever watched which successfully completed a full season of programming, "Unan1mous" is the worst I have ever seen. They locked 9 contestants in a basement and then had them do nothing for a period of many days (it may have been 30 days, but I'm not sure of that. Who cares?). Well, actually, they did do something -- intermittently they would vote to determine who won money. It was like the reality show "Big Brother" but with no competitions (and no sunlight). The contestants on "Unan1mous" appeared to be made physically ill from life in the "underground bunker" ("moldy basement" would have been a more apt term to use than "underground bunker"). I watched most of the episodes out of a perverse curiosity -- to see if they could possibly have an entire season of programming in which NOTHING interesting took place. They did it!

The show was not rigged as many would like to believe. It is AGAINST THE LAW to cheat a game show. I do not think FOX would break the law and fix a show.The show should have been an hour long, but it didn't so i'm over it. They had 8-12 million viewers EVERY week. Sure any show after Idol will do pretty good, but this is the best ratings an after idol show has every received. So as much as some "hate" the show, they did something right. Some of you people can't handle reality, and to me this is reality at it's greatest. Sure there were some actors, but actors are real people.It's a giant human experiment, putting people in a closed environment with no fresh air, no ability to tell day from night, no contact with the outside world. Some crack, some hold strong, some don't do much at all.All in all, the concept was great, the show was good. I think Fox will attempt a seconds season, with it being a bit more planned out.

Dude,I agree with you totally and 100%! This show is rigged bigtime! What kind of show can this be? If everyone voted for the incredibly nice guy Steve, on the 2nd episode and made him a millionaire, how the heck would this show last? It would be the shortest so-called reality show in history. This show is just a rip off of Big Brother with unnecessary complicated foolishness to make it seem like such a worthy show to watch. "You can't vote for yourself" as a rule of the game,So why would anyone want to play a game that isn't of any benefit to themselves? Wouldn't everyone just walk out and call it a day when they find out that they won't be winning? Just doesn't make any sense. Then to top it,the show's only like 20 something minutes(if you omit the commercials) How much can we get into the show with that little time? Or maybe if the show was an hour...(45 minutes no commercials) The viewers would have saw right through it and stopped watching. Set your TIVO because you will never see this show anywhere again after it airs...
