    Some of the actors were crappy, but over all this show was awesome. It kept you guessing what would happen next plus it had a lot of twists and turns. Even though it had low ratings FOX should have kept it going for the last 4 episodes. Even though they are avalible on the web some people cannot view them, including me. I hope Vanished at least comes out on DVD, and soon!

    The "finale" left more questions than answers. Please bring back Vanished, even if we have to watch it on Fox's Vanished website!!!!

    Great program. good suspense. I MISS IT!!! and the least the producers can do, is to run all the episodes that were filmed and ready to be aired. That we have to go in search of it is ridculous. why not run the remaining episodes when all the reruns are on during holidays or ??? on Saturday night TV that stinks? LOL.. Good, I feel better now, but not happy that I don't know the end.

    My fear was that this series would be too complex and would lose me if I missed an episode but if I can become addicted to 24 AND miss an occasional episode... My craving for answers hasn't wained and I find the actors top notch.

    Although it is not as good as Prison Break, Vanished is fast paced enough to maintain interest, and has quite a few twists and turns that would keep viewers guessing, I thoroughly enjoy this show and look forward to its next episode.

    fast paced, interesting political concept...some very obvious flaws that everyone can see. In addition the actors are stiff...especially the actor who plays the senator...and sorry...the fbi agent is also a light weight. But oh the intrigue of the plot!!! That's why I continue to watch. I just hope we find out who and why before they cancel it.

    Jeez guys - its obvious that the negative reviewers were somehow biased to begin with, or just never gave it a chance. I admit, the first 2 episodes were kinda slow, (like most pilots are) but it picked up and now I can't wait until Mondays. To make such a quick decision to replace Gale Harold to boost ratings (Bahahahahaaa!) is ridiculous. It will for sure fail now because without Jeez guys - its obvious that the negative reviewers were somehow biased to begin with, or just never gave it a chance.

He is a wonderful actor and doing a great job with the crap that he was given to work with. The fact remains, that Gale Harold is the only one holding the show together and keeping viewers. When he goes, so will the show. Fox is insane.… Expand

    I really like the show. It moves very fast, and is intense. The plot has many twists and it causes me to focus on the clues and different angles of the kidnapping. It is obviously more than a "ransom" kidnapping.

    The only thing lacking in this great series is a leading lady with some depth. The actress that plays Agent Mei needs to come through with the intensity that Agent Kellan provides. Go Gale!

    I liked the second show best. It put more parts together and didn't jump around as much. I think this show could be hit if it gets the time. Maby less story ideas in each episode. Also some of the scenes come across a little dark (light) on TV. I'll keep watching for a few more weeks.

    Please don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, it's still new...Gale is a competent actor--he held QAF viewers mesmerized for five seasons so don't count him out. The writing could be better, and characters maybe more 'fleshed' out, but that isn't the fault of the actors involved, they do their best. Premise is vaguely interesting, but maybe could be Please don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, it's still new...Gale is a competent actor--he held QAF viewers mesmerized for five seasons so don't count him out.

    I think that if people keep watching this, they'll get hooked. It may not have been as exciting as Lost's pilot, but you can hardly tell from one episode how something is going to be for the rest of its run. Plus, Gale Harold never has trouble keeping me interested.

    Gale Harold as Kelton was an interesting and different FBI man and would keep me watching. He needs to be the focus as there are too many characters I didn't care for. The pilot shows potential for the show but only if the writing in terms of characterization improves. Something with 'conspiracy' as a hook needs intelligent writing rather than car chases.

    This show gets a 10 mainly for the head FBI agent played by Gale Harold. It has rough spots with some of the casting, and the writing is weak in spots, but it's a cool premise with a hot leading guy. People should give it a chance. There's nothing better on anywhere else.

    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.
