About Last Night: Will THE UNUSUALS Be Usual Viewing For You?

April 9, 2009 by  

Did you guys watch the series premiere of ABC’s THE UNUSUALS last night?  What did you think? Will this one be added to your TiVo right away or are you going to pass? Should others be watching or should they not waste their time?

Vote in the poll below and then share your thoughts in the comments.



What GMMR readers are saying….

I think this is a great new show. Unusual? Yes!…and THAT IS the draw. Amber Tamblyn is a wonderful little actress and I knew she would only lend her talents to a show that would be interesting and fun… and DIFFERENT! I cannot wait to see the exploits of the other characters again. More than 2 thumbs up for this on

    I don’t know if it will be a permanent addition to my DVR, but I’m definitely going to check it out again. Tehre were a few things (sometimes weird camera angles and the very strangely cryptic sarge-but just when he was being cryptic loved him when he was being sarcastic) that just seemed really weird and I didn’t like. But, overall, it had humor (I think you’re mistaken about what the “P” in NYPD stands for) I nearly fell out. And it was an interesting premise. I never watched Joan of ARcadia but I liked the girl – there were only a couple of times where she looked like she was about 12 but other than that liked her. I definitely set it to record next week, but I think this one will be a keeper.

    I really liked it. I’m usually not into cop/detective shows, but this one, Life, and Castle have won me over. I think it has to do with humor and actors.

    Could not get into this one.

    I am a huge fan of Amer Tamblyn, and watched it hopefully. I think there’s potential there, but the pilot just didn’t draw me in. It was kinda funny, kinda interesting, and the story was just okay. I get the feeling that this is the type of show that takes a few episodes to reach its stride, however, so I put it on a season pass for the time being. We’ll see how it goes.

    I watched, but am on the fence as to my future with it. I will watch next week for sure.

    I liked Amber Tamblyn and her character, but some of the others are too unusual. The two partners, one of whom wears a vest all the time and the one who wants to die, got old very quickly. They have to give them something a more and cut back on their current quirks.

    The bible quoting cop cop killer (maybe or maybe just an accessory?) is a cliché.

    Questions: Was the dead cop doing what Ambler is now supposed to do, i.e. investigate the squad for the sergeant?

    Also, where have I seen the female uniformed officer before? She only had a couple scenes, but I recognize her from somewhere.

    Also, I didn’t vote in the poll since there was no option like: It was okay fro a pilot, but I a not committed yet.

    I enjoyed the pilot a lot. But it was a teensy bit awkward. I am excited to watch where it goes next week.
    And I also wish the poll had included an “undecided” option. 😀

    I’m HOOKED! The duos of Tamblyn/Renner and Perrineau/Goldberg are excellent. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen on the upcoming episodes.

    I finally watched at lunch today and I think I might be glad I waited and didn’t ready anything about it first.

    I really enjoyed it. Another suprise for me here. I seem to be watching new shows while holding my breath these days. I have always liked Tamblyn and Adam Goldberg is hilarious. I am looking forward to watching again.
