But to say you hope it doesn't last? That's hardcore. Do you really think they are holding some great TV show just to put in its place?

But, overall I thought it was really funny; with the dry sort of wit that tends to condemn shows for the majority of the viewing public.

Those who didn't like the show for the most part either couldn't follow the storyline (it wasn't that hard though if you just pay attention in between commercial breaks) or are so hung up on Sons and Daughters being an "Arrested Development ripoff."

Yes, the show is very similar to Arrested Development, but does that make it a bad show? No way!

Sadly, with how ABC tends to treat the really good shows, Sons and Daughters most likely won't last (with some exceptions...Boston Legal being one of the exceptions). Look at what they did to Cupid almost a decade ago (critically acclaimed, lasted only 15 episodes before ABC canned it for low ratings...despite its brilliance and intensely unique storyline). Remember Line of Fire? What about Monk (which went on to gain huge success on the USA network) and The Job (which was reworded and restaffed- kind of -and became Rescue Me which really hit for the FX network).

Sadly ABC just has no faith. So, I think I'll record Sons and Daughters on DVR permanently just in case it isn't successful enough for DVD release (like I did with Kitchen Confidential).

*steps off the soap box*

And I would LOVE to see "Cupid" come out on DVD. Jeremy Piven is a god in this woman's eyes.

Anyway, the Cupid torrent I found was on torrentspy.com but if there are no seeders on there anymore, I have the episodes on my filelist 24/7 on Soulseek (with fast transfer rates).
