    I liked it a lot more than I expected to. It kept me watching and wanting more. Gale Harold was excellent, as were most of the others - no poor performances! I'll be watching next week and every time it's on.

    I thought the first episode was great, lots of potential. I hope fox doesn't drop this show as quickly as they dropped Reunion

    I like the two leads. Gale Harold & Ming Na make an interesting team. I want to see more of them together.

    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 looks like it's going to be a fascinating mix of detective work and mysterious symbolism, and the beautiful Gale Harold will keep me coming back each week. I think the characters and the story will develop in many intriguing ways if you give it time.

    Gale Harold is wonderful in his role as Graham Kelton! The story has me intrigued, to say the least. I'll keep watching, if only to see Gale Harold.

    I loved Vanished! The plot is interesting, unfolding in an engaging way; the characters are believable and Gale Harold is very clever and convincing in his portrayal of Graham Kelton. I am looking forward to many more episodes of this series!

    Didn't Josh Berman's last show fail, too?

    Kept me interested enough to tune in next week. Agent Kelton (Gale Harold) is a very compelling character.

    Gale Harold's stellar acting in this show makes it shine, rising about the otherwise ordinary combination of CSI, Lost, and The Da Vinci Code that it is. Kudos to Fox for casting such a winner in the lead role!

    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.

    You know, I just can't say this one did anything for me. Waiting for the rest of the premieres of new shows in the next few weeks.

    Didn't like it at all..I wish that Fox had put as much work into the show as they have into the marketing.

    Great show. Gale Harold, Ming-Na and John Allen Nelson are all very good.

    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.

    Gale Harold is HOT! and anybody that didn't like this show after just ONE hour obviously isn't giving it enough of a chance...

    Promises to be one of the most intriquing shows this year. Love the high tech in the beginning. Gale Harold *owns* the part he plays and is so very believable, he brings the necessary credibility.

    Ok..I have to be honest...I watched the show because of the main character Gale Harold, and there were certain parts in which I was really into it, but even though I am a die hard QAF fan and I would love to support my QAF alumi..I have to say that so far I am really mised because some of the acting is really bad...Gale has his moments on the show but there were certain times when he was Ok..I have to be honest...I watched the show because of the main character Gale Harold, and there were certain parts in which I was really into it, but even though I am a die hard QAF fan and I would love to support my QAF alumi..I have to say that so far I am really mised because some of the acting is really bad...Gale has his moments on the show but there were certain times when he was kind of off his game also. I mean it is ok but I honestly can not say it is the best show out there ..and not better than 24 at all...I'm sorry to sya it because like I said I love my QAF alumi but if they don't step it up I don't forsee a brilliant star of a hit with this one… Expand

    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.
