I really liked this show.I am curious as to what happened to the "characters'.Tim Daly is great.I see the show is on tonight as listed as "NEW".Does that mean the show will be on the fall schedule? Or is this really a repeat but they are stating it as "NEW"? I am also curious as to why we have to write a minimum of 10 lines in the comment box, when 5 lines will suffice.I also see other posts with less than 10 lines... so what is with that??? Will we be able to get this show on DVD any time soon???

I was channel surfing late one night in Costa Rica and washed ashore on The Nine. One of those yummy slow burns. I enjoyed the build-up, the character development, the changes in point of view. I looked for it every night - like trying to find a lost ankle charm on a sandy shore - and kept looking when I arrived back in Canada. I found out that the show can be downloaded. Lucky Day... NOT. Just another case of "US viewers only". Shame, shame. I know the show isn't for everyone (particularly for those who need more instant gratification) but it hooked me and I don't even know what episode it was. I hope it shows up on DVD - or the ban (and why is that?) on Canadian downloading comes to an end.

No, The Nine will not be missed at all.It wasn't a "crative" or "innovative" show. Rather it was a show that tried ever so hard to clothe itself in the trappings of the current bad-directing-as-hype nonsense.Apparently, if you direct a show as badly as you possibly can by playing with your zoom and shaking the camera you're supposed to be "hip", "edgy", "real" and whatever buzzword is cool that particular day.Of course, shooting a show in that way is nothing but pseudo-intellectual self-gratification of the worse order.One had to feel bad for Tim Daly, who is a wonderful actor who deserved the excellent EYES to be a success. Sadly, he had to waste his time on that waste of film.It won't be missed... at all!

I very much enjoyed watching The Nine from the very first episode and was very disappointed when I found out it was cancelled. The way they did the flash back scenes to the actual bank robbery while the survivors were shown dealing with the traumatic ramifications of being held hostage was a good way, in my opinion, of making the program more interesting. I always looked forward to the next episodes in order to find out exactly what happened during the bank robbery, including the shooting of the one victim. I liked all of the characters, including the "villians." I hope they decide to put The Nine back on the air even if it is at another time or another day.
