Dangerously: If Lost and 24 had a baby, and Flash Forward and The West Wing had a baby, and by some miracle those babies met and f*&%ed, this would be the product.

Chance of Success: America loves conspiracy theories and terrorist threats on TV enough to keep 24 around for 8 seasons. 90% of at least 2 years, 10% of at most 2 episodes…

Flipit: First off, Blair Underwood looks amazing. I want a show about whatever moisturizer he uses. Second, the chick with a cane from ER is on this show and she doesn’t have a cane. I feel so LIED TO. Third…why am I numbering everything? I don’t know. Cuz this trailer is long and I am trying to put words here?

This is another “mystery” show. Every production house in Hwood is trying to ape the success of Lost but they’re missing the point. None of these ripoffs have Sawyer without his shirt on.

It’s like making cotton candy without cotton. You can’t do it.

It looks like someone’s trying to kill the president, the CIA covers it up by blaming it on a semi cute young guy and then trying to shoot his plane down. There is a lot going on in this preview and I can’t care about any of it cuz I’m thinking about a shirtless Sawyer. I have a headache. If I want a good mystery I’ll slip in a Murder, She Wrote DVD.

HoneyGangsta: As a former event planner, this Event looks very high maintenance with too much clean-up. No thanks. If Blair Underwood is interested in a private party, however, I’m open.

Chance of Success: 30%

Saint Claire of Assisi: It’s like they took an awesome Tom Clancy thriller, plus Lost, plus 24, plus a wet dream I once had, and made it into a great new show!

Chance of Success: 89%

SexyPanda: I watched 50% of the trailer and said, “No thanks.”

Chance of Success: 30%

Bbitz: “Fast Forward” + “V” + “Blair Underwood” = What could go wrong?

Chance of Success: First Season: 80%, Second Season: 5%

PottyMouth: So now that we all know what’s NOT The Event, how about getting to what IS? No? Bastards!

Chance of Success: Could be one season or six. Either way, I predict we’ll never find out what the fucking Event is.

    That pic of Sawyer is bringing tears to my eyes. Yes, I am pitiful…but there never has been, and never will be, another show like Lost!

    I might try this one out, but it seems too “Event”-oriented to last very long. I mean, “Lost” was able to evolve and keep people’s interest without frustrating them by not giving the answers to the mysteries, but when you’ve got a show called “THE Event” it kind of limits what you can do with it. At some point, people are just going to want to KNOW WHAT THE FRIGGIN’ EVENT IS! With that premise, I can’t see it lasting more than a couple seasons.

    Blair Underwood really hasn’t aged a day in the 20 years or so since he first started on “LA Law.” I don’t think it’s moisturizer, I think it’s a portrait in the attic and the baby’s blood. Or good genes.

    But they cast it well (I love Zeljko Ivanek and it’s a testament to his talent that he works constantly with that name.) and did a hard-sell on it during the summer, so I expect it will do well initially, but making it past the Christmas hiatus with any momentum might be difficult. I think it will go the way of “Flash Forward” where once it’s off for a few weeks no one will care what “The Event” is.

    But in the battle of the tv-friendly sons of celebrities, I think Jason Ritter is way cuter than Colin Hanks.
