Goofs:

Errors in geography: The show is set in Phoenix, AZ, which is in Maricopa County. In at least a couple of episodes, when there is a scene in the courtroom, the court is called to order in "Mariposa County." Also, whenever they show the county seal in court or a state government building, it also reads "Mariposa County."

Quotes:

Allison Dubois: How can you say that?
Joe Dubois: I move my lips, I push out air. There's nothing to it.

I'm looking forward to the next episode

My wife and I both thought the initial episode of this series was very entertaining. The premise of the show is certainly thought provoking and the hour passed by faster than my remote can skip over any "Reality" show I stumble onto. I thought it well written and acted, with some memorable dialogue. The Texas Rangers even sounded Texan, Though I doubt they travel in a pack, that scene was one of several visual attention grabbers. Horatio over on CBS will have to solve his crimes without my assistance as long as Patricia Arquette and all involved keep up the good work in that competing time slot. The sequencing of the story line kept us interested in the plot. I predict and hope it'll stick around. We will certainly watch it this Thursday evening
