    Not as good as the rest of their line up. Hope it goes away.

    I won't make the joke that Vanish will vanish because I'm sure that will be played to death...but it should.

    I used to like Gale Harold, and Ming was great on er. But here they have little to do, and there's little hold one's interest.

    I don't want to watch this again...once was enough for me. I hope that all the actors go on to other work, though--they deserve better than this material.

    What kind of producer thinks this is good tv? So many bad decisions were made...it lost me.

    I know someone who works on this show and they say it is a disaster. they keep on bringing new people in because they don't know where it's going. Total misfire.

    Gale Harold is really lame. Total tv cast. This had the potential to be cool, but the casting was poor.

    Everyone I knkow was excited for this show until they watched it. Like Snakes on a plane...overhyped and therefore even more disappointing.

    I give it another week, then it gets yanked. And we'll never know what happened...but this show is so stupid I don't care.

    The dialogue is ridiculous. Everybody does and says exactly what you'd expect. Total tv--and I don't mean that in a good way.

    Quality deteriorating. Plot muddled. Acting not good from any actor.

    Fair to poor. Would-be clever scenes tacked together to look like a thrilling TV show, but not making much sense. Characters all over the map but not really going anywhere. Frantically dull. I didn't keep watching when it changed times. The finishing up on a website was good for a laugh, though.

    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.
  3. 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.
