    Wonderful and intriguing characters with interesting stories. hide show

    This show better not be cancelled! Why don't they take off those stupid reality shows like Wife Swap or that High School Musical-Something or Bets Off or Bets On or whatever its called and bring back Big Shots which is way more entertaining and interesting. Who are the dummies who make these ridiculous decisions to take off the good shows and replace them with mind-numbing drivel?!? Every year I ask myself, why do I even start watching? No wonder the cable stations have more viewers than the other networks. On the other hand, it's better for me to stop watching tv. I've been reading more books.

    he show centers around four very successful male friends and what they go through with family, co-workers and competitors. The four men have very different professions and are able to use their friendship and professional skills to help each other out. hide show

    What could be better than this? It's an hour of laughs mixed in with some serious issues. I have to admit it was McDermott and Vartan that initially made me watch the show, but I was pleasantly surprised when I couldn't stop watching. I love the story lines of all four characters which is rare. In a show there are usually one or two people you watch it for, but not with Big Shots. Every week keeps you guessing and feeling more and more attached to the characters. It's a real guy story and I think that's something that's overlooked because so many shows focus on women's trials and tribulations. As a woman I must say that it's time we see a story about the guys! Great job ABC!!

    9.5 Superb

    I love thise show so please bring it back. The mens ar all good actors and very Handsome. Bring it back, bring it back. hide show

    I think this is one of the best cast shows today. Big Shots have lots of potentials; however, the show moved to fast to soon, it pushed to much information onto the viewers at one time. Give more insights on the main characters before bringing on a new one, like Duncan's alleged son. Katie and James relationship did not kindle to good. Brody's role was too good to be true, the somewhat ideal husband (hummm). Marla should have kept her pregnancy from Karla and his wife until she could not hide it anymore, and kept the friendship with the wife until the truth comes out or when the both delivered their baby, which are due around the same time. Last but not less, Wendy, she went on her way to peacefully. Over all I love this show, so please bring it back.

    Desperate Husbands hide show

    This series is like "Desperate Husbands" it's funny and has marriage problems from the male point of view! It's very good, the men in this series are very cool. It's definetly a men series and it's grate for women too. It's the perfect TV show to watch with your couple. I really recomend it to everyone who likes sofisticated comedies, it just leaves you wanting more. The issues in this tv show are very original and you just can't stop watching it. You want to come back next episode to see what will happen next. You should really watch it! It rocks!
