I won't watch another one. I kinda knew this from
the gitgo. It just sounded like a boring idea for
a TV show.



I watched the second one. More of the same. Why do you always have to be right Bob? :)

The new girl they brought in from Chicago wanted blackjack to be H17 because she said it would increase the house edge by .183%. Where did they get that number?

That struck me as odd too, but I'll stretch to think that the "Savoy" was a brand new place, so they would have the latest technology in use.



The whold name "Savoy" seemed strange. A Chicago outfit guy, at least a caporegime, would never name a place after himself.

Female ADA in 1960? Never!

And they keep pushing timeframe with the cars.

I will keep watching, just a sucker for that era in Vegas.

And BJ would not be the big thing before "Beat the Dealer" cme out, dice was the big thing then.

At least they show some cigarettes now.

I'm going to continue to watch also. While it might
not be the best show ever made, I find it more
interesting and entertaining than most of the other
network offerings this fall.

Another program that I thought looked interesting
is LAST RESORT. This is the one about the
ballistic missile submarine. So far it has also
been good.

Wow, that is a crazy plot line! Starts out dubious, then goes insane. Granted, I am being critical without having watched it.

The link below can be considered to contain spoilers.

Well, yeah I guess that's true, but no one is
going to make a TV show about my life, it
is just too ordinary.

SO, I would say that even though the plot
may be a little out there, the interesting thing
is how the characters react to it. And how
the "conspiracy" is unravelled.

I missed the first episode when it aired on
TV, so I went to the network website and
watched it on my computer.

So, not too late to start watching !
