Did anyone watch Windfall last night?

The premise of the show is:-

Quote:

Money changes everything.

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to become a millionaire overnight? A group of 20 friends and acquaintances is about to find that out as they win $386 million in lottery on NBC's hot summer drama, Windfall.

At the heart of the events is a close-knit group of four friends. Peter (Luke Perry, Jeremiah, Beverly Hills, 90210) and Nina Schaefer (Lana Parrilla, Boomtown) and their two kids are a seemingly happy family. Underneath, Nina still harbors feelings for her ex-boyfriend from college, Cameron Walsh (Jason Gedrick, Boomtown), rousing the suspicions of his wife Beth (Sarah Wynter, 24).

Sean Mathers (D.J. Cotrona, Skin) is an ex-con with dark secrets that are in danger of being revealed when he wins the jackpot. Damien Cutler (Jon Foster, life as we know it) is a rebellious teenager who seeks independence of his parents. Frankie Townsend (Alice Greczyn, The Dukes of Hazzard, Quintuplets), a 16-year-old girl, finds herself in the middle of a family feud when her separated parents fight over the money.

Rounding out the cast are Malinda Willliams (Soul Food) as Kimberly George, a 22-year-old single mother hoping to start a new life far away from the trailer park, and Jaclyn DeSantis (Luis, Road Trip) as Maggie Hernandez, a nurse who can't wait to spend her share of the fortune.

Personally, I thought the show was OK, I think the first episode piqued my and my wife's interest enough that we will watch the show again.

My husband and I watched it, and I also thought it was OK. If I catch it I'll probably watch it again to see where it's headed. But right now, it's not a show that I will regularly watch. I really enjoyed the celebration scene. That would be fun to experience.

I saw it. Didn't like it too well.
There wasn't anybody I could get behind, yet.
I got a little peeved 'cause of a bunch of people going around screaming that they had won the lottery, out in public like that.
Very dumb and unrealistic in these day and times.

I'll watch again, though. ;P

p.s. You notice the unbelievablely high percentage of goodlooking people in this cast?

I have failed to watch this again. At this point, I probably won't bother. I have been disappointed with the networks this summer.

eh... didn't watch it because it sounded too much like LOTTERY

I'd like it if it were a reality show, starring me.
