*****POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT********
nathanfan1, I love reading your reviews!! I don't have enough patience to do that, but here's my quick rundown....starting from the beginning.
What I love the most about this show is the comedy...the snarky, clever repartee. I do like some of the techno aspects but sometimes the rock ' em/sock 'em physicalness gets to be a bit much for my tastes....not that I would ever let that keep me from watching this show as long as they keep me laughing!!!!
I love the show's opening graphics and the theme song....and ep. 1 when Will gets shot and they start the theme music/graphics I thought was very cleverly done.
My favorite ep is Mrs. and Mr. Trowbridge so far.
Ep. 10 - that was a pretty somber ep. However, I had already been spoiled....at the time I was watching via ABC site, so was locked out of ep. 10 but I was clicking through their "latest clips" and clicked one for ep 10 - where they showed Emma being shot and the gun....in retrospect I should have known not to click on an episode I hadn't watched ... duh!
I LOVED Susan and Ray's protestations when talking to Frankie....especially Susan! And the very badass look on her face when she shot Griffin (I think that was his name).
Ep. 11 - I hate to say it but I thought this episode was a bit weak, especially in the beginning, though it got better as things went along. And it was odd that there was no reference to Emma, so perhaps this ep was shown out of order?
I loved the scene where Will, Frankie, Susan and Jai were jammed together sitting on the couch!
Standish makes me cringe sometimes...and it seemed like he had gotten better in ep. 10, back-tracked in ep 11, so, again, perhaps ep was shown out of order. Also Frankie and Will seemed to backtrack with how they responded to each other. I LOVED it when Standish called them mom and dad!
I'm now starting to re-watch episodes. Keeping fingers crossed that they get renewed because I think the show has a lot of potential.

Personally, I think Standish is a hoot. I love his expressive reactions and he's such an honest guy. Watching him try to become a better agent with mom and dad's help is quite entertaining! I thought Jai was also hysterical in this one as he and Susan fixated on the soap opera drama that was going on in the lab. I also loved the 4 of them crammed on a couch! That's the kind of funny, non-verbal humor I love. I also agree that Will and Frankie sure seemed to be butting heads over their approaches to training Standish. Their totally different approaches is what drives a lot of the comedy but this ep it seemed to be really emphasized. The other thing that I felt was played up quite a bit was Will's age. Some of that he might have brought on himself by claiming that he could pass as a grad student with his baby face but Frankie also called him grandpa at the end of last episode so it feels like they're making it an issue.
It's been cancelled.....BUT....apparently Warner Bros. is going to shop it around. Let's hope!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.
