The pilot starts on USA tonight. Is anyone excited? I think I'll give it a try.

First of all the pilot is airing on the USA Network and to answer your question, I for one am absolutely excited about this show. I've been waiting to watch it ever since I first heard about it in January.

I'm sitting here watching it right now as I write this and I can already tell its going to be a great miniseries!

Woops, thanks, I fixed my post. I had to call a friend and say it's on USA, not UPN. I'm watching it right now.......

We're gonna watch it tonight - I read the Roush column in the TV guide - that guy loves all my favorite shows, so I trust his opinion :) He says it's really good, so we've got a reminder on our cable box.

I hope it's good :)

Rivergirl, I watched it and really liked it. Good news - USA channel is showing it about a million times this week, I'm sure you can catch it again.

I've been waiting for it for ages. It's so darn shiny. Just how they set everything up and etc. I hope I'll be able to still see it while I'm at school this fall.

I thought it would be a movie though :/ (oh well)

I watched the premiere - there are some overtones of the mini-series "Taken", and one or two of the sub-plots aren't exactly fresh, but all in all it's pretty good so far. I'll be watching Sunday nights.

According to this report, "An astonishing 7.4 million viewers watched the premiere episode of USA Channel's sci-fi series The 4400 Sunday night, a record for a basic cable premiere. The episode in fact captured more viewers in the 18-49 demographic than any of the broadcast network competition with the exception of NBC. The previous record was held by the premiere of The Dead Zone in 2002. Only five episodes of the series have been ordered."

Shaman King is an incredibly cool manga series, currently serialized in Shonen Jump magazine (I'm reading the VIZ graphic novels though, 'cause I don't want to have to hunt back-issues). It's about an easygoing young slacker named Yoh, and his quest to be the Shaman King (previous Shaman Kings include Buddha, Ghandi, Jesus, Mohammed, and the like).

It's also airing as animé on the FOXbox saturday morning block --which does not air on my local affiliate (FOX2 Detroit), but did air, for one week, on my old affiliate (FOX31 Rochester). Gorram FUX switched stations on me one week after introducing the new shows.

The manga has a very Buffy-esque mix of horror (ghosts, some of them homicidal, frequently Possess the leads) and whimsical, self-refferential comedy (as in Buffy's "A vampire with a soul? How lame is that?" line in Tabula Rasa). At one point, when fighting an enemy, Yoh sees that they're dying (which can be Very Bad if it happens while being possessed (the host's soul gets tied up with the ghost's) and says the "Xs for eyes" line.

'Cause, see, when animé/manga characters die/pass out, they go like this: X_X

Ahh thanks. :) I knew about the X__X thing, but I didn't know the connection with Shaman King (since I haven't seen it [I only listen to dubs if it sounds good]).

I liked the next episode, though I have some nitpicks. Overall, I would say it's good but not as great as I would have hoped.

So far I've liked the cinamatography and the soundtrack is good too.
