Plenty of Whedon's witty one liners to be seen in the trailer.
Looks ok might give it a try if i get bored

I really like Comic book movies etc. so I'll watch it, but don't think it will work that well as a TV series so my hopes aren't that high.

Shows like this don't have a good record, but I will definitely give it a go. If they can work on a similar template to something like Burn Notice (fun characters, good humour), it'll be a lot of fun and the budget restrictions won't hold it back.

Are they going to have cameos from some of the Avengers/Superheroes? If not, can't see it being that interesting. The cool bit about SHIELD was that they dealt with Superheroes. Otherwise they just become the CIA, with better gadgets.
Yep exactly. Needs some sort of Marvel Comic influence/ hero appearances.

From the trailers it looks like Maria Hill may make some cameos, doubt will see any of the main guys though.
They will be dealing with superheroes, just probably not the A-List ones from the movies.

There is the problem, his two best shows were his least popular.
However Firefly was as much a scheduling bungle as anything else.

I rate Buffy more than dollhouse though

Mmmmm I don't, but it is a subjective thing.
Dollhouse explores some interesting ideas and issues, within a context that may not surprisingly be that far from our current reality, or at least one we are approaching.

Watched the first ep slow start I must say but got better towards the end. Clearly a whedon show had his signature all over it except no one important died. I wonder who he will kill off first.
Also, I cant work out who the main character is. They need to decide and quick. Not sure Coulson is the man for that but we will wait n see.

The cast didn't really grab me at all. The guy who plays Coulson has personality but everybody else felt like the sort of cookie-cutter characters you see on procedurals like Bones.
The dialogue was pretty cheesy but the self-effacing Whedon humour helps with that a bit.
Hard to pass judgement until I've seen 2 or 3 eps but I am pretty underwhelmed thus far.

The whole episode felt by the numbers. 'Here's the stoic warrior type, but who's really a softie', 'Here are the typical geeks', etc. Not just the roles as such though, but the whole 'everybody plays an essential part in saving the day.' I mean not one of them could have had a bit part? I suppose the upside is everyone and their role has already been defined, so they can concentrate on stories now rather than setup. I'd expected more subtle work from Whedon, more show not tell.
It felt like a generic mix of shows such as Heroes and Alpha.
Clark Gregg has charisma though.

It was OK without blowing me away. In some ways this has all been done before so it will be interesting to see how develop it. Will give it a few more viewings until I make my mind up about it.

Just watched the pilot, seemed like Whedon was trying to hard with his writing, trying to throw in too many gags without really fleshing out the plot.
I'll give it a few episodes but I don't expect this one to last too long. The firast episode had 12.12million in the US be interested to see the drop off for ep 2
And only one of the next 3 episodes is written by him so we will see how the other writers handle it

Biggest network drama debut in 4 years, so it will definitely get a season to run. I didn't mind the pilot, but it will be interesting to see how it plays out as a TV show.

This show is super cheesey but I'm actually enjoying it immensely. Is this just because it is in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Possibly so. I'm suprisingly myself by acknowledging the cheese but not letting it overly tarnish my opinion.
