    Gale Harold is a loser, and Rebecca Gayheart does not know how to act.

    Wow. I hope that all the Gale fans out in world end up watching this show, because it's going to get canceled pretty darn quickly.

    The ratings say it all. This show is a flop and it deserves to be. Someone said that the whole Da Vinci code/kidnapping mystery doesn't mix, and I agree. What a feathered fish!

    This one's gonna die on the vine. And fox made a big mistake to launch it early--everybody I know is on vacation. Who's watching tv yet? Network strategy=backfire. Although, maybe they wanted to bury it because let's face it, it's weak.

    I really did not like this show at all. Even the production value seemed poor to me.

    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.

    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.
