I'm sure the show thought it was "brash" and "irreverent" but mostly it came across as "scripted." The characters never spoke to one another, instead just recited "clever" dialogue on cue.
Corey Parker was a neurotic, New York Jew: a Woody Allen impression without any subtlety. Téa Leoni played the same role she always has, as vapid and head-jerking as ever. It was as if the writers bludgeoned the stars with their scripts and they in turn bludgeoned the audience.
A God-awful piece of dreck.
[It's interesting to note "Mad About You," a show with the same basic premise, premiered on another network a week after "Flying Blind." Of course, one of these shows stayed on the air for eight years, and is considered a classic. The other remains mostly (thankfully) forgotten.]
