    It's a rediculous show of the "Davinci Code" type, meaning that must have looked much better on paper. The dialogues are cheesy and performances are just downright bad.

    This is Josh Berman's second shot and it should be his last. It's a shoddily written and constructed show that seems like recycled tv.

    I read somewhere that it's as if a film school class put a television show together and called it Vanished, and that was exactly my impression.

    Too much hype and no delievery. Weak cast. Obvious writing.

    Sorry guys, I hear Gale Harold gets killed in episode five. That's the rumor...

    Poor Script, not worth watching...All they have to do is add an 'amateur' actor like Esai Morales...then the series will 'Vanish.'

    Someone said that Gale Herold is the only good lead actor on TV now. Hello? Kiefer Sutherland from 24? James Gandolfini from Sopranos? Hugh Laurie on House, Matt Fox on LOST? you think Gale is comparable to these award winning actors? Who ever thinks this, you're insane. He's okay, but he's the only decent actor on this show, and the acting and writing is bad compared to Someone said that Gale Herold is the only good lead actor on TV now. Hello?

    Is it better than CSI? No. Better than Without a Trace? No. Has Fox gone insane by comparing mediocre shows like PrisonBreak and now, Vanished, to true gems like 24? Probably. The only decent show FOX has now is 24. That's it.

    Whatever happened to acting? To writing a good script? To strong direction? I saw none of any of this in Vanished.

    Is this what Fox is putting on the air these days? If so, please bring back the WB.

    What a sense of false urgency this show conveys...and nothing really happens. This one's going away.

    I just don't understand how some of the people's comments on this page are positive--that's absurd. This show is terrible.

    Even the production design was terrible. C'mon--what does the network take us for, a bunch of idiots?

    This is what you'd get if Without a Trace somehow turned into a cartoonish conspiracy chase thriller.

    Lacking "Prison Break's" tough milieu and its initial narrative drive, "Vanished" doesn't exactly scream "Watch me." Nevertheless, it's polished enough and very much a work in progress.

    The pilot moves along at a cracking pace, introducing new clues and characters and settings so fast that it's very tempting to sit back and enjoy the ride, ludicrous though some of it may be.
