What a waste of my time!!!

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Absolutely amazing

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

I had very high hopes for this show and after a few episodes, I have to say I was disappointed.I love the cast. Dylan McDermott is always great, just like Michael Vartan and Christopher Titus. And Nia Long is always really good. So, the show had good potential.But for some reason there are four principal characters and only three story lines amongst them. Christopher Titus's character isn't in much of the show accept when the four guys get together. And that's a shame since I looked forward to seeing him on TV again because he's a talented comedian.The other big part I react to is that Karl's whole storyline is a comedic one, while the other two main story lines are much more serious. Another thing that makes me almost dread seeing a scene with Karl's storyline is his wife. I'm sorry, this actress might be good in other roles but here she gives an unbelievably bad performance.For some reason I still watch the show but most often I seriously can't wait till it's over.I can't for the life of me understand how the show currently has 8.1 user rating here on IMDb.

For: HowTVshouldbe and others who felt the same way. Just so you should know, as far as I'm concerned ABC NEVER really believed in this show from the start, so it doesn't surprise me that things turned out the way they did. Oh yes, they did show a 'few' promos in the beginning, but right after it got on the air the promos 'abruptly' stopped three weeks in. I don't care what anyone else says, ABC did not make even one attempt to save it (and that means bringing in better writers, or moving the show to a new day and time slot, like they did with the rest or their shows.),so what exactly was so 'different' about this one show? I'm beginning to wonder just what kind of a message they're sending to Mr. Vartan's fans, as this is the second time we've had to start a campaign (although, they didn't even wait for it to go through this time) to keep one of his shows going. 'Big Shots' was a very good show in my estimation, and proof of that was the fact that Vartan and actress Nia Long have had mini-videos posted on YouTube (under the 'Big Shots', James and Katie name) because the fans really enjoyed seeing them together. If by chance they're not coming back, why in the name of all that's Holy won't ABC try a "spin-off" with the shows two most popular characters? We just don't get it.

I've been reading comments that Big Shots isn't good. The cast isn't believable. I don't see these guys as friends. I don't think you're watching the same show I am. I can easily see these guys as friends from school or whatever. They haven't said yet and maybe won't. Look at your own friends, don't you have friends people would be surprised you are close too? That being said now on to details about the show. I think its a great cast.I love how James is struggling with his break up with his wife after finding out she was sleeping with his boss. Will soon be dealing with fear of losing his kids to the ex's new boyfriend.Karl and his mistress who when she decided to tell his wife liked her and now they are best friends. I couldn't stop laughing when after the wife has pictures of Karl and his girlfriend, Brody fixes it for him and now the wife thinks he's gay.Brody head of a crisis management company, he could make a fortune off of his friends handling their problems. His wife, who we haven't seen as of yet, has him completely whipped. If she says jump he asks how high.Duncan's story line is great and complicated, hooking up with the ex he's having a great time until he realizes if she gets serious with another guy their little escapades will end. She's torn because if they do get back together she knows he'll start cheating again. In the last episode he asks her out on a date and she accepted, I can't wait to see how long he'll be faithful to her.This is a great show and the only one that I truly look forward to each week.

As far as pilots go, this one rocked! The 4 main characters are funny, self-absorbed jerks who are going to be given a run for their money from the women in this show.The cast is terrific -- great variety, fine actors. Dylan Mc Dermott is gorgeous, Michael Vartan is sooooooo sweet, Christopher Titus is funny, and Josh Malina is a delightful neurotic. And the WOMEN!!! Terrific -- lovely Paige Turco, smart and sexy Nia Long, sly and sassy Peyton List, sweet and sympathy-provoking Amy Sloan, and sultry and manipulating Jessica Collins.Pilots are always a little sketchy. The writers don't know who the actors are -- they're just writing for anyone at that point. Watch this show. Give it a chance, and, as the writers get to know the actors, I'll bet anything the script will take on a life of its own.
