    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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!

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

    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.

    I would just like to say that I am really crazy about this show, and I've only seen one episode.... I can't wait to see what happens next..... I really like the actor playing agent Kelton.... Gale Harold? (I hope I got that right..) I don't know if he's been on anything before, but I really like him on this show... Thanks... Jess

    Love Gale Harold. The story is interesting and the first episode kept me on the edge of my seat. I will definitely be watching this show.

    What do I have to do to keep seeing Gale Harold each week? And the pilot was good, even without him - much better than what the networks have kept on for season after season...Please don't cancel this!!!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
