Nice summary!

the show is good, but not great. it needs time to get better.

i rather watch this than another cop drama or talent show, which is about all that’s on tv nowadays. Good thing for HBO!

Catching the rerun of the pilot on Saturday night. It seems promising and I like that Caviezel is gritty, less of a conventional hero (or even an anti-hero).

The concept though reminds me of Quantum Leap or Tru Calling instead of having some kind of supernatural intuition, it's based in data mining arrangements which, while realistic, eliminates the fantasy elements of the other shows (for good or ill). It also doesn't have their sense of humor, unfortunately.

But, while unoriginal in concept, it's original in execution and I'll keep watching. Although for me, it depends what it is scheduled against. Friday & Saturday nights are usually devoid of quality TV so it's a good night for reruns of shows that are booked on more competitive schedules.

I heard that the show got cancelled on May 13/2011 is that true?

My God if they don't return, then i'll never watch NBC again! what a bunch of crap, they real you in and cut the line before landing the fish....they are going to go hungry with this tactic.

The Event was a great show on Monday night. How can NBC just leave us hanging not knowing what the Event is? The reason why I like the Event it was so realistic with what is going on in the world today, all you had to do was pay attention to details which they were showing for that week espisode.

My favorite character was an agent Lee. He brought so much charisma to his character, and it was nice to see a show that had a lot of different ethnic characters. I hope that NBC will consider to bring back the Event of hopefully another network will pick it up.

Two simple comments.

1. The Event has not been promoted sufficiently. It was not made into a media blitz with an effective Facebook campaign or a promotion to hold the audience. The networks are not using these assisting media properly to assist tv hold audience. This program could have been tied in to a variety of venues...charity to save the planet, for world peace, etc. or an airline (airplane disappeared)...I'd have to really brainstorm to come up with a truly perfect idea, but something easily could have been done. Had a good promotional idea been implemented, this excellent, thoughtful and intelligent program (finally an intelligent program) would not have not needed to be cancelled; rather, it could gave been your no.1 show. Think about how you could have used interest in alien conspiracy theory to have stretched interest in the program. Someone like Dan Akroid (ie) could have ended each show with Twitter or Facebook topic. :10's and :30's could have been promoted during prime programming. This could have been a huge blitz that sponsors would gladly have lent their names to, an additional means of revenue for the program, time slot, and network.

2. Speaking of time slot, the time the program aired could have been moved...Monday may not have been the best day for the program. Why not move the show to another time slot before having pulled it, or when you saw the ratings falling.

One if the biggest online search categories is UFO's and aliens. The American public loves this subject, and yet you're letting an intelligent program slip away. The low ratings are a function of a weak promotional opportunity accompanying the show, an unwillingness of management to adapt the show to a different slot, and an overall lack of promotion. The actors weren't out there on talk shows, beefing up the idea and selling it.

This IS a hit show. The acting was incredible. The suspense was great. The multiple story lines were brilliant. Sometimes I did find some element of predictability trite, but also comforting (the feeling of, "yeah....I thought that would happen. So, I feel you're letting a gem go, with gem acting, and...the ability to have made excellent ad profit through this program and accompanying promotions that could have been built around it.

yesssss they are awesome together! I don´t like Leila.

Yes!!!!

Ok, how about that pic?

Hi ElsieM, no you're not being weird. I have another picture you might like; I just haven't had time to switch it out yet. I'll try to swap it out tomorrow. :)

This looks like it’s going to be great, unfortunately I missed the last couple episodes and forgot to set my DVR. Luckily though, my employer, DISH Network, has a new website up that streams a ton of content online, it has the latest episodes of The Event too.
