Review of Pilot

Lame! So lame, I had to turn it off. I was born and raised in Alaska, and the only place I ever saw a raccoon was at the zoo. No skunks either. And frankly I found it weird that virtually everyone in the town was Caucasian. It bothers me that one of the token Alaskan Natives is a prostitute. And I was really irked when the publisher friend said "Alaskans don't read" or something to that effect, dismissing Alaskans as illiterate simpletons. I think this show is a waste of a good premise and decent acting talent. I would love to see a show about Alaska written by someone who's actually been there. There is enough natural quirkiness that it doesn't need to be manufactured by some New Yorker who doesn't have a clue.
