Do you suppose the PTB at Siffy-less will catch a clue that we tuned in for The Flan, and perhaps they should not have dropped his series? :D

Hee-hee! I love the irony, because that was not WH13's best episode IMO. But Joe made it worth it :D

Lets hope the figure out it was Joe we were watching.

Hmph. They didn't even mention James Naughton. I tuned in for him. 'Spose I'm dating myself.

Heh. That was the only episode W13 that I've tuned in for. ;)

That was the only episode I watched all the way through without doing something else. Yay Joe! Get that man another series people! He has a built in fan base. And yes, it was nice to James Naughton again too. I liked the Planet of the Apes series.

It was the only ep I could sit through. The series is not really that great. Well, maybe in there own minds.

Also:

For anyone that has the UHD channel (Universal HD) on cable the pilot for First Monday with Joe Flanigan is scheduled for 9/04/09 10:00 pm EST as per TIVO.

Oh, that's really hilarious! Yay for JF, boo for TPTB at Syfy who couldn't see what a great thing they had in SG: Atlantis. Thanks for sharing the news!

the show is no x-files but its pretty watchable and mildly entertaining. I'm enjoying it despite the terrible pilot episode

Please, SyFy, catch a clue! It's Joe Flanigan people want to see! Give him at least a movie!

hope someone catches the clue here:D

Hurray for the Flan! Although he was wasted, he did look beautiful. I didn't realize how much I missed him until I saw the ep!

On another note, the one thing I find most amusing about this information is that at a time when Brad Wright and Company are developing what they consider "hard-hitting" sci-fi, the program that does best in the ratings for the network is frivolous, scifi-light with no deep thinking required. Perhaps the Universe concept is NOT what the public is looking for?

I really like W13, though I see that I'm in the minority. I find the characters very enjoyable. And I love the whump they give us. :)

It was nice seeing Joe F. back again, wish he'd land a show. :(

Joe was pretty good with the bit they gave him, TPTB need to realise we tuned in for that.
Not overly excited with W13 but then they had Roger Rees on as the big bad (will be a recurring character). Roger was Lord John Marbury in TWW. I loved that man and his constant inappropriate behaviour and calling Leo 'Gerald' :D
