I love the episode with Sammy Huang (Marial Law) being a guest on the show where he was chasing an criminal. The criminal was played by Michael Paul Chan (The Closer) who was hilariously funny in that show. I couldn't stop laughing because everything something happen, Mr. Chan would say something and his facial and body expressions match his verbal comments. Its too bad minorities actors like Mr. Chan are not given more opportunities to play all sides of the human emotions. Our theater and TV shows would be thoroughly enrich by the vast potential that these actors and actresses have to offer. Lauren Tom who was also in the episode was very funny as well.

This show was perfect for everyone. Exceptional entertainment. This show had it all; action, comedy, suspense. Although it seemed to be a bit directed toward teens, adults and children would have no problem getting caught up in the story. Engaging and addicting, I had to watch it every week. It doesn't require you to catch every episode, like many recent action adventure television shows(Alias and Lost).An original plot and script that broke free from the lot of modern stereotypical TV series. Recently, Television has run dry with shock factor. All that's on any more is "reality TV", raunchy comedy, cheesy soap operas, sex, educational TV, advertisements, sex, and advertisements. It's hard to find a good time in front of the screen anymore. This show was awesome while it lasted. I truly hope it comes out on DVD. If it doesn't I'll give up faith in Television all together.

Like my header says, I really am not surprised that CBS pulled the plug on EE. The show had potential to be so much more, but it was more or less the same every episode. It would start with Gary waking up at 06:30 to the sound of the cat meowing and the thud of the paper hitting the floor. He would then read the headlines and you just knew that everything would be put right by the end of the episode. They would occasionally make it so that Gary wouldn't save the day, but those episodes were so rare, you could count them on one hand. Fisher Stevens even said himself that it got boring playing the same note over and over. In fact, the shows predictability was one the reasons why he left at the end of the second season. Then there were the many implausibility's and appalling continuity. Here are some examples:1. Gary broke his leg in the episode 'Where or When,' yet in the following episode 'The Fourth Carpathian,' he was perfectly fine and there was no mention of his injury nor was it ever brought up in the rest of the series.2. Marissa's blindness is also a mystery. First of all (in the pilot), she had been blind since birth, but in other episodes, she had lost her sight in early childhood and had some memory of being able to see.3. The steps that were present outside McGinty's throughout the first season disappeared at the start of season two and never reappeared. They were even missing in 'Everybody Goes to Rick's,' an episode from the fourth season that took place in 1929, long before Gary bought the place.4. It had been established that the headlines in the newspaper changed when Gary altered the timeline, but in 'Time,' when Gary found Luscious Snow's old papers, the headlines telling of Gary's death were still present, despite the fact that Luscious had saved Gary. The newspaper should have read 'Stranger prevents boy from being knocked down' or words to that affect.There are so many more blunders like this that it would be impossible for me to enumerate them. If you want a quality drama with a character that puts right what once went wrong, then watch 'Quantum Leap.' And Oh.... Boy, speaking of QL, Sam Beckett should sue Gary Hobson for stealing his catchphrase. Don't waste your time with this!

I first saw this in 1998, and I'll just say it again. This is brilliant. Trust me, almost anyone who can understand the English language will love this. The concept has been explained a thousand times by other reviewers, so I won't say it here. I will say, that this show is one of the most thought-provoking TV show I've ever seen, without making people feel uncomfortable. Again, you must see this if possible. You will love it.
