Read all about it here. It is easier than rewriting it!

I have no idea what the plot is going to be, but she is in it somehow! Set your DVRs now!

What a crappy show! That female lead who acts with pauses, like William Shatner - ugh! It was nice for Peartree Press to get a thank you, even if they spelled Lizzie's name wrong in the credits. I didn't mind the reversal of "mother" and "father" in the quatrain, as it served the plot device of the charmed compact (loved seeing those initials). I do and will always love Saul Rubinek, however.

They reversed the order AND changed the rhyme-- still, if future
"Lizzie-ites" are intrigued ... we were just lucky to have Liz Montgomery.
Was surprised to see CCH Pounder, though those zoom-in's on her eyeball were freakish.
Given the above (and that cheesy looking trident, plus Lorena Bobbitt's knife), the show might be best viewed through a pharmaceutical haze.

I think the show is for the teen/college age market. I found parts of it inventive, other parts cheesy. But not as horrible as Bob feels.
I felt like it doesn't take itself too seriously. Like the Nick Cage National Treasure films. Or the mummy movies (which are really entertaining!)
The show is a mix of sarcasm, camp, history, over the top reactions, and special effects.
It feel like a comic book with actors.

I never got to see it.
I'm not sure if we get that show here.
What is a Picture, but the capture of a moment in time.

The SyFy station replays them online. Also try HuLu.com. You can see all sorts of new shows there!

Oh Fargo, you didn't miss anything!
In fact, if you got up and wandered to the fridge for a fudgesicle when it was at its most boring, you would have missed the LB allusion altogether.
Btw: that was not acting - in my opinion- it actually sounded like a radio show!
I can't figure how they could get the quatrain wrong. Why doesn't it matter per 'plot device?'
