is this worth buying?

I have been thinking about buying it; however, I haven't seen it yet! I love Debra Messing and the story sounds interesting. Just wondering if it's worth the $25. Thanks in advance for any responses!

I saw it for $12.99 in last week's Circuit City or was it Best Buy ad? The series is 6 hrs long so $12.99 is more than a fair price whether you like it or not.

As of 2/5/08, circuit city and best buy online have it for 19.99, amazon for 14.99. Amazon has a download for 1.99 an episode. Couldn't find it on itunes, although I bought&downloaded the pilot there a while ago.

The $12.99 was a sale price. I'm sure the price will come down again just like how so many DVDs have. Keep watching the ads. I wouldn't pay $20, it has no extras.

I'm watching it for free online right now at www.fancast.com/tv.

I bought it while it was still available on iTunes, but I have to say, I don't think it was really worth the $9 or whatever it was I paid for it.

It's okay if you can see it for free, but I wouldn't waste money on it if I were you.

I just got it from Netflix...not sure now if I will watch it though. The new series looks really good & I plan on watching it Friday. From what I have been reading, most of the cast has changed, so I may just send it back w/o watching. But either way, I would probably not buy a mini-series - just watch it whenever you want from Netflix.

I think it's a great program with lots of laughs and some tears. I can't wait for the 2nd season/part to start!
Not sure if it's worth paying for since there is only 5 episodes; not a lot to catch up on. I'd say it's a fun ride and you really root for Molly and her mates!
