Well, the day is finally here. ‘Saving Grace’ premieres tonight on TNT at 9:00pm. The show is actually getting some mixed reviews, which surprises me, and our state’s newspaper seemed to like it, which scares me.
Anyway, we may do some sort of live blog tonight during the show. If you want to talk about, complain or even whine about the show while it airs, do it in the comments section of this thread. I will probably be here, along with my guardian angel Craig.
Oh man, I’m going to predict the amount of unintentional hilarity at about 8.5/10 with the vast majority of the laughs probably coming from ridiculous accents. Between this and the two baseball games on ESPN2 tonight, a six pack just might be in the cards. I
Also, a hearty LOL @ Everlast recording the theme song. This is going to be so bad.
Anyone else here?
Started a new post…not sure what to do. Lets talk here!
9:02: The show is starting off pretty good. Grace is having crazy sex with some guy. Then we find out she’s having an affair with her partner. I guess that is bad.
9:04: We got the first Earl the Angel citing. Then we get the first F5 tornado reference. Now we are at a cow auction. Oklahoma all the way!
Yes, the first scene was very good. Love the cowboy hats and tornado references. Are they supposed to be in Oklahoma City?
You can say “shit” on TNT?
Ah…the richest cattleman in Oklahoma. Guess he’s friends with the govna’
And brief nudity, too. I need to watch TNT more often.
I just heard the worst ‘Knock, Knock’ joke ever.
I’m not sure which Louie’s it is that Grace goes to, but I’ve never been there…
Not everyone in Oklahoma City speaks with a thick southern drawl like that. In fact, hardly anyone does.
Since when can a police detective afford a porsche?
“I’m Earl. What do you need?” LOL…
This show is really realistic.
Earl and Grace are in a canyon. I think this is what Emelio Esteves saw when he took peyote in Young Guns.
Made the first commercial break. I hope I can make the last.
Grace says God’s love is better than sex. Earl just smiles. Why shucks, ma’am. I got a powerful hankering for God’s love.
Jack Daniels sucks. I’m a vodka man myself.
This priest-brother guy is up kind of late.
Grace chooses God’s love over oral sex with Ham Dewey.
Take it all off!
Lesbian Scene! Doph. Nevermind.
I don’t understand how someone could be so calm and rational the day after having a friggin’ angel take you to the Grand Canyon. I would still be freaking the eff out.
Which part of Oklahoma City is the cattleman’s ranch located in…
Wow. Quite the aggressive cattleman. When did TNT turn into HBO?
This show is TERRIBLE. I tried to give it a fair chance, bu tthat scene with the cattlemen and then the cow getting stolen is the last straw. Good god.
Eddie Austin:Pucker up. Grace: Get your hand off my breast. That Grace is really spunky.
Can we make it through the entire show? I’m about to go drink my entire bottle of Jack Daniels.
Toby Keith is going to be on this show at some point. You know he will be.
I bet Kelly will give his “Two Cents” on this tonight…
Where does Grace’s lab friend live? Jones? Dover?
Two girls talking about Earl. So was it good for you? Does he have a cell phone?
Suspect fishing around in a grabage can. Who knew police work could be so easy?
Oh man I forget about this. I just tuned in a few minutes ago. First thing I see, cows. Great start.
Angel Earl just dropped a “Major Dick” bomb.
Okay. What the fuck is going on? Is this guy the god of Oklahoma?
Maybe we’ll get a Byron Houston cameo in the jail…
That part was in slow motion so you know it’s important.
Earl acts like a real busybody for an angel.
And 37: That guy is Angel Earl. He is awesomeness personified.
I think Grace has driven behind me on 1-40 on several occasions.
Is that music Rammstein?
LOL
Oh man Eddy, DON’T DO IT! Eddy man, PLZ!!! EDDY NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
BTW, does anyone know what the hell is going on with the crime storyline? Who was the kid that just jumped? Why did he jump? Why did he listen to Rammstein?
I think he was depressed because he was just forced to watch the pilot for Amazing Grace.
Or Saving Grace, I mean.
Things learned from this show: When approaching teenagers about to commit suicide at high school football bleachers asks if you believe in god always say “No.”
Do you believe in God? Yeah. Then you’re an idiot. Why didn’t Angel Earl appear to him?
I have a feeling Eddy might be okay, like it will come back from the commercial and he’ll just be in a coma or something.
I just went to Technorati and searched “Saving Grace.” I found this:
“So I’ve watched the first twenty minutes or so of “Saving Grace,” a new show on TNT.
I’m going to jump the gun and go ahead and recommend it.
Frankly, the theology of it is a bit on the wacky side. But the writing, the direction, and the acting are superior.”

Eddie sounds like Clark Matthews.
Guess I was wrong. Are they searching for his stash?
Marijuana drives people to madness…
Is there a Ronald Reagan high school in OKC? Ronald Reagan Wildcats?
Uh…
Ronald Regan Wild Cats. YES.
Now Ham Dewey is turning down oral sex. These people just aren’t right in the head.
She made him sleep on the couch? Ouch!
Grace does not strike me as the most mentally stable person.
Wow. Just……..man. This show.
Once again, I have no clue what’s going on with the whole crime case storyline.
Chances Gary England and that dude tag team Grace during sweeps?
After watching this crap, i want my mommy, too.
Is Leon Cooley the black Hannibal Lechter?
Whoa. I think Grace is getting a little jungle fever.
Kind of like Tony pointed out earlier, if some stranger came up to me and described to me a dream that I had, I wouldn’t be very calm and relaxed.
Is that kid her son? Or what? I don’t understand what is going on in this show.
I like how they threw in the “Lets explain why not one other person is at the bombing memorial on a beautiful afternoon.”
Oh god. OKC Bombing Memorial scene. At this point I wouldn’t be shocked if this kid junk jingles Grace.
I think it’s her nephew.
Pretty deep kid…
Yes. Her nephew with the red lipstick. Well, at least he’s not Goth.
Oh man! Earl that guy, just showing up like that!
This show rocks. I’m going to watch again next week, maybe they will show my house.
Well…we made it. Monday Night Football can’t get here soon enough…
I think they should really use one of our story lines ideas.

Looks like shit is going down NEXT WEEK!
So uh, all in all, they said “shit” and there was a little sexing and a little violence. Maybe not as bad I as I thought.
Wait…yes it was.
This show that just started might be even better.
It was very confusing.
I missed the show but I’m taking this to mean that Eddie’s voice is kind of a hybrid of Barry White and Gomer Pyle?
I like how the OKC police headquarters is across the street from “flagworks,” a company that apparently has offices only in Salt Lake City and in Calgary.
That’s funny. I’m guessing it was Calgary. I had heard parts of the show would be filmed in Canada. And I’ve been to Calgary, it’s much more of a cowboy town than OKC is. They have the Calgary Stampede every year which is some big rodeo thing I guess.
I was trying to devise a drinking game for the next episode. Like a nice large sip of beer every time someone says “shit”, one for every mention of “god”, two for every time someone is drinking doing drugs, one for the appearance/references of cows/tractors/barns/tornado etc., a shot for every appearance by “god”, two shots when Grace is getting nailed.
So and so on.
you guys shoulda just called each other. they’ve also invented this thing called im. also, i’m just mad i missed the big show.
You’ll appreciate TheLostOgle’s transparency when you get “Saving Grace” Season I, Episodes 1-4 from NetFlix.
In The Daily Oklahoman today, they are offering viewers a chance to blog about the second episode on News.Ok.com. Gee, I wonder why someone hasn’t thought of that already?
