| I just got done watching the first episode through On Demand, and liked it. I'll definitely be adding it to my shows to watch this year.
Interestingly, when they got to Wrigley, that World Champions thing wasn't there. |

You can take an audiences suspension of disbelief just sooo far!  |

| I noticed the spots that ran during the Olympics had the championship sign digitally removed. You'd think that if there was one spot in Chicago that would've been kept up post-electricity, it would've been Wrigley Field. After all, they didn't have stadium lights until 1988. You'd think the Cubs faithful would maintain the shrine and keep playing games there. Maybe "high-concept" sci-fi shows should just avoid baseball stadiums altogether. Remember "Flash Forward"? - Spoiler:
Remember the concept...in the present day, everyone on Earth blacks out at the same time? At the end of the first episode, surveillance video from "a baseball stadium in Detroit" shows someone moving around while everyone else was out of it. However, the stadium shown was clearly not Comerica Park (the actual baseball stadium in Detroit). That took me right out of the episode and I lost interest in the series.

| Something else along this line...this spoiler pic from an upcoming "Doctor Who"... - Spoiler:
 As a lifelong Michigan resident, I find this headline to be the single most ridiculous bit of nonsense in the show's 49-year history.
