I watched it. Why the hell did this not get picked up? Especially given some of that stuff that's on.

"Why do you say this to me when you know I will kill you for it?"

Thoroughly enjoyed it! NBC are a bunch of morons for picking Grimm over this. This is stronger in almost every aspect. Hopefully, SyFy or someone else will pick it up.

reply

It's really good (and I'm not saying that as a Stockard Channing fan). All the characters were interesting. Leave it to network bozos to pick the cheaper looking show. Grimm is a joke.

Watched it, loved it. Too bad it was passed over but I can see why. Too many people would have protested the premise of promoting magic over science and the lack of 'christian' moral values.

reply

Too bad they deleted it

Watched the show before it was yanked and I was shocked by how awful it was. I'm a long time fan of RDM, loved BG, even enjoyed much of Caprica (though I understand why that didn't catch on), but this pilot was simply embarrassing from top to bottom. I'm glad the show didn't get a series pick up.

It has been taken off Vimeo is there anywhere else it can be viewed online? I'm a big BSG fan and was 1 hr too late when 17th pilot was pulled off of the site. I'm dying to see it!

You are not missing anything. Go watch something else.

It looks like it's online at youtube in three parts now.

reply

I really liked it. I haven't been able to get into watching Grimm, that show is nowhere near as good as this. It's a such a shame this didn't get picked up.

reply

Just watched it. Great premise, and great potential. Cool cast. Would be nice if someone picked it up.

reply

interesting show could have been good

reply

Yeah, that was my thoughts as well. A shame.

reply

Didn't find it at youtube, but did at http://rutube.ru/video/4f26ec06905add87a428bcc0312da260/ Just watching it now so no opinion yet. Great cast and premise though.

Thanks for posting the link! I'm so happy to see this pilot episode finally. Shame it never happened.

Hi 'ajhdettmer' - I just checked and the link is still working for me.

Hope you enjoy it!

Youre right. Somehow in Firefox even the player wouldnd appear.
But in IE all was fine.

Well,now that ive watched it i can only say its definitly worth
a look. The concept is good,the world interesting. It certainly
wouldve been a good show with a whole bunch of familiar faces from
BSG.

Grimm is.... okay. It picked up and became a lot better in the second season.

But this.... this was just good straight off the bat (and with such an excellent cast!). NBC made a huge mistake here not picking this up (heck, they could have even gone with a "Supernatural" night with Grimm and District 17 back-to-back to pick up more viewers).

Yeah, that would have been good. 17th Precinct could easily have cashed in on the Harry Potter craze, too, what with it being made around the same time as the movie series ended. So much stupidity on the part of the TV companies.
