+2 Internets | The Black Donnellys Did anyone watch this show after Heroes? I really enjoyed it. Kind of like an Irish Sopranos about four brothers, who are Irish mobsters, dealing with family and business problems while cracking skulls and taking names. Lets just hope that it doesn't get cancelled. I never understood why there are so many movies based on organized crime (see: "The Departed" for a recent example) but such a huge lack of TV shows. Anyway, I highly recommend it. It'll probably be added to NBC's online line-up tomorrow if you want to get caught up for next week. |

+15 Internets   | There's so few because most of the time the characters suck and the plotlines are cliche. We can deal with it better in 2 hour instances moreso than season after season. The show was okay, the beginning was too gimmicky with the whole "wait this is how it was" then "no wait change that" "ok wait lets film another scene so we can do this time period change again". The events leading up the ending were are cliche, but the ending kind of made up for it.

+7 Internets | It's Boondock Saints, the TV show. Just enough changed that you won't think it's a total ripoff. I boo this show.

+11 Internets | Ummm, they're Irish and there were guns, that's about it for similarities with Boondock Saints. I for one am just glad to see someone doing a crime show not about italians or black people. It was decent, hopefully it gets better. Lots of shows change/improve a lot from the pilot episode.

| NBC.com just added the unaired episodes too, I enjoyed watching them. I wish this show didn't get cancelled, maybe some other channel like Fox can pick it up. This was the 2nd good new show that I liked to watch that got cancelled, Smith was the other, that show rocked.

| NBC just added another show tonight, it seems they add a new one on NBC.com every mondaynight at 9pm. The last episode #12 was really good, I really hope this show is continued either on a different network or maybe NBC can give it one more chance, a real chance this time, not just add it after Heroes and do 1 or 2 commercials of total promotion for it. BTW, I must add that I am just shocked how terrible NBC is right now for a major network. A station that used to have such amazing shows such as Cheers, The Cosby Show, Seinfeld, ER (When it was good), Friends, Frasier, The West Wing, etc. now is a station with only 3 good shows (My name is earl, the office, and heroes) and all the rest of the shows are pretty much dogshit....BTW I only watch Heroes. I am sure NBC has some other good shows but nobody watches them because they do no promo for them. For Example: They really did no promo for the Black Donnellys show and never really pushed it. You see Lost commercials (ABC) on other stations like ESPN or TNT and ads in magazines, never did I see a Black Donnelly ad or commercial anywere but during an episode of Heroes. This show is good and I know many people that enjoy watching it. I am sure NBC had some other good new shows too this season, but the morons running that company have no idea how to promote any of their new shows. Without promotion, NBC made this show doomed in the ratings from the start. And now it is replaced with a complete joke of a show...The Real Wedding Crashers...this is an answer for their ratings disaster? NBC used to be the "Must Watch TV" channel and dominated the ratings, now it is a complete joke. Heroes doesn't even belong on NBC it should move to ABC, so that NBC can just die because the people over at NBC have no clue.
