The Event gets FMPU's Approval

We'll keep it short and pretty.  The new show, The Event, was highly touted on tonight's Coast2CoastAM show so I decided to give the pilot a try.  I loved it!  I went on to watch episode 2 as well and I think I may be hooked.  The show, as I see it, is a nice combo of X-Files and Lost (two of my all-time favorite network TV series) with a nice touch of Ira Einhorn's story, the Philadelphia Experiment and many others.  It's sometimes predictable to a fault, but the storyline is trying to not get the same rap Lost faced - confusion.  So answering some of the easier riddles early on is a good thing sometimes which means only one thing - producers are listening to the people.   It might be a little bit of a shifty ploy on Richard C. Hoagland's part to come on the radio and give the show such a push (mind you - at the persistent urging of George Noorey) during tonight's program.  After seeing the first two episodes, it seems almost as if tonight featured a live infomercial segment of C2C OR maybe they were just geeking out like I did.  Whatever the case, it's entertaining and the theme of the show raises a lot of good issues while nodding caps to some of television's great science-fiction material.
