    [McDermott's Captain Dave] is the most interesting guy in the skies, so it’s cool that he doesn’t have much of a life on the ground. Moreover, it’s fine with the audience that these traits are a bit formulaic because McDermott is having so much fun filling in the rest. It’s unclear if that will be enough to sustain a series in need of some tweaks, but there’s more than enough here to justify watching.

    The sitcom has all the makings of a witty, fun half-hour.

    Quirky and unlike any current TV comedies, it’s got smart, dumb-funny humor and a great comedic turn by Mr. McDermott.

The plane's captain is just wrong for the role, or maybe the script is mis-written for him. Either way, I've started to skip past his scenes, as they add little to the show.

    Maybe it will work better than The Guest Book (not difficult to do) but I doubt it. The premise seems too contrived.

    I'm going to watch a couple more weeks with the hope it improves.    … Full Review »

The jokes are mostly funny but are no match for other shows like South Park and Family Guy. The problem is that how can this make us laugh a lot if the story is half empty?… Full Review »

    Love the premise and think there is great chemistry with the main characters. Really hope more people give this a chance. Hilarious so far andLove the premise and think there is great chemistry with the main characters. Really hope more people give this a chance. Hilarious so far and just the fact that they had Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney together in one episode is next level stuff.… Full Review »
