I'm really looking forward to this. Check out this 4 minute promo:

When an average guy stumbles upon a secret so powerful it could

change the course of humanity, and a cover-up so big that even the

President is on a need-to-know basis, answers can only lead to bigger questions.

The Event begins this Fall on NBC.

So, let's play along Org - what IS 'The Event'?

One sentance answers....GO!

Oh I already know ...

can I spoil it ?

ok okay ... I wont

Looks good. But, like FlashForward, it could start strong and then fizzle. Hope they can sustain it for a while.

I guess if Josh Ritter is on it, then he won't be Lauren Graham's boyfriend on Parenthood. That's a shame.

Man is there any TV show that Zeljko Ivanek hasn't appeared on yet??

as for the content of the show, i really can't guess anything after that perfect mess called Flash Forward.

I have to say, I love the way 99.9% of people have become so jaded now that they pretty much make their minds up before the Pilot has even aired!

Awesome.

Who are you talking about? Only three people have commented so far in this thread, and no one has said they've made up their mind about anything.

That's because of shows like Lost, which started good and became an abject failure (imo).

Turn of phrase. Cool your jets soldier.

There is an unfortunate malaise in tv viewers in general nowadays. Viewers (along with TV networks) are seemingly no longer prepared to allow shows to find their feet and flourish.

My point was that you've only seen 4 minutes of footage and are already comparing it to Flash Forward. I think it's a little unfair to lump a show in with something when it hasn't even had chance to air yet is all.

In YOUR opinion. Sure.
