Err, saw this lame show for the first time on Sunday night. The first seen of the episode is the MINI on the side of the highway broken down. You do not see the MINI the rest of the episode. I do not think I will ever be watching this show again. I'd put money on it being cancelled very soon.

No sighting in what I think was the 3rd episode, it blasts the MINI but the rest isn't horrible though it is really far fetched at times.

I have to say...I watched the entire first episode, and then I watched part of the one Sunday night...I agree with my initial predictions: it is a dumb show! And I did see that the MINI broke-down in Sunday's show, because he hadn't checked the oil for 3 years supposedly, and anyway, that kid annoys me. (Rant, yes, I know...just had to get it off my chest). Fox should stick with animations.

I watched part of the show on Sunday and changed channels. It was so dumb it was painful to watch. Not even funny dumb. I think in the 1st 15-20 minutes, I didn't even smile at anything on-screen. Which means it will probably stay on air for years.

Now I'm waiting for the obligatory post where someone claims it is perhaps the funniest and wittiest show on tv and the rest of us are "missing it" somehow!

I somehow doubt we're going to get that post for this show.

Exactly. So everyone on here has at least the minimum of taste required to be into MINIs.

Here, I'm reviving this post now because I'm in the middle of brainlessly watching this show in the background while I search the net...I HATE this show!!! I think I will complain to Fox, because I've never in my life (that I remember) felt this annoyed with every single character on a single TV show. I just don't like anyone on this show. (RANT!!!)

There was a MINI featured on Charmed tonight as well. Is this part of a marketing campaign to get the car product-placed on a bunch of TV shows.
