TimBJun 14, 2006I think that this show rises above the rest with a semi-unique concept of following more than 4 people in a dramatic series. I am very glad to see a show on network television with such deep and varied characters. All in all, if the initial shock of winning doesn't wear of too quickly, i think NBC might have a good 2 season hit on their hands.

richardpJun 9, 2006The NY Times got it right - this is a handsome, entertaining show, the kind of escape you need during the summertime or anytime. Several actors shine, particularly Sarah Wynter.

JenLAug 31, 2006This is the best show going - I can't believe it's over! Why do TV stations do this to us? Finally something worth watching instead of some stupid reality show about people eating bugs and prancing around naked. I want to see more of Windfall, but I doubt that will happen. Hopefully it'll come back - I wish I knew of a poll that NBC would actually listen to!

HeatherGSep 16, 2006I think Windfall was one of the best shows to hit your station thus far. You should really reconsider a second season of Windfall as you left your audience in suspense. The show left to many unanswered questions for the viewers. Windfall is awesome and if you do not renew it then shame on you and your network!!!

LauraKSep 2, 2006My husband and I both love this show! It is our hope that it will stay on forever!

shawnfNov 4, 2006I am furious that you pulled the plug on Windfall. That show was awesome. The finale left us with so many unanswered questions. This show could have been HUGE. Please put Windfall back on. It was the highlight to my Thursday nights.

AndreaGOct 17, 2006This was the best show this year, I will be crushed if it doesn't return.

MJJun 10, 2006The producers have a good idea for a show, but I think that there may be too many different storylines going on at the same time. If they focus more on the more interesting characters, I think they may have an good chance of lasting beyond this summer.

JoseAJun 19, 2006There's a scene where one boy complains to his mother how the kids at school are bullying him because they know he is rich. You would think his mother would put him in private school or something, but no what she said next had me scrambling for my remote control "they'll get used to it". That was it for me.

LarryJun 21, 2006Bad show!! Bad acting and un-realistic stories. Just a bad show!
-
-
AaronBJun 28, 2006The premise of this show at first intrigues. However, the charm wears of quite quickly leaving only a small handful of mildly interesting characters drudging their way through storylines that seemed too forced to entertain.
-
-
JackieEJun 9, 2006I like it tremendously. I think the variety of characters gives it the potential for many storylines. I think this will be a surprise hit.

ShaneKJul 26, 2006This show is as hard to believe as actually winning the lottery is. Terrible twists and terrible acting makes for a...you guessed it, terrible show!
-
-
chrissJul 6, 2006pathetic, unoriginal and bad acting. i'm tired of watching rich white people with problems on television. oh but wait, they have a black girl, whose is not part of the "20 friends" who won the lottery but won anyways. at least they have her as a special guest.

SofSSep 18, 2006I loved it. It is a geat show!! It make for a modern day Melrose Place for a generation who grew up on 90210. PUT IT BACK ON THE AIR. It was the best thing to watch this summer Thursday Nights!! Please put it back up!!! I loved it....

JenniferMMar 6, 2007Best show ever! Can't wait hopefully to see season 2. Bring it back PLEASE!!

-
ShannonMJun 6, 2007Please put Windfall back on the air. It was a great show. I always stayed interested. At least put it on for one more season to sum up all the stories. You cant just leave us hanging like that.

An unsatisfying and predictable jumble.
-
Most of the beats suffer from a been-there quality, and there's a glut of interlocking storylines that might be less of an issue, admittedly, if two or three really merited attention.

Fans of the Pretty Woman shopping-montage scene... will be pleased with Windfall for sprinkling in splurges both decadent and dutiful... But... Windfall is smart enough to tighten the screws immediately.
