2) It takes place in DC and I love the city gets a show. My city!! - Amani

3) Seems like a unique premise with some strong female leads as well. I like how they got the girl with TSA to join up. She looks like she was the girl in 'Save the Last Dance'. - Amani

4) I will watch Episode 2 during dinner and report back more thoughts/feelings. - Amani

I have to agree I am really liking Lie to Me - Justin Yost

I got hip to it too, Amani. I've watched all three eps on Hulu. - Derrick

Alright, epsiode 2 is done. I love how they use real life people's faces to draw a parallel to the characters lying in the show. Hilarious. Poor Bill Clinton and Marion Jones. LMAO. - Amani

Episode 3 was very well done. I like how his daughter is getting more involved in the storyline. Interested military case as well. Let's hope they can keep the momentum going. - Amani

I love the show too. last year, I read a great book by a professor named paul ekman called 'telling lies' (http://is.gd/j8DC) and if he's not involved in this show, I have to believe the writers are consulting this guy's canon of research on lying and deception, because the shows so far play like scenarios described in the book. - .LAG liked that

tim roth rules ! - ben barren

I'm really enjoying it, as well. It also helps that the dad of the kids I nanny for is a cameraman on the show;) - Lis

Very nice epsiode this past week. enjoyed it. I love the stories behind the scenes with the leading lady and her husband. Let's see how they continue to develop. So far so good with this show. Momentum is still strong. - Amani

I really like it. It's got a great concept. - Aaron Hood

I like the show and all, but it's just not that good. It is entirely a repurposed Bones / House clone. The smarmy slightly outside of the lines genius boss and his band of predictably flawed merry men. It's funny how the solution to every single problem is telling someone how you know they're lying. I realize its the main point of the show but done 15 times an episode it loses its effect. - Richard Lawler

Richard, that's exactly how I feel about it! I like it slightly better than you seem to, but you hit the niggling points that I've had about it right on the head. - Chieze Okoye

Thanks Duncan. I've had products killed by flaming like this, some of it even came from competitors, who apologized years later when people turned around and did the same to them. We have these great communication tools but they can be used to really damage people. Like I said I give this guy some credit for using his real name, because he hurts himself a lot more than he hurts me. - Dave Winer

Dave, don't worry about it. Someone who brings up your past like it was a problem obviously is a bit jealous. Remember, those who can do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach just bitch about everybody else. He also didn't notice that you did not bring up the outliner, I believe Hutch brought it up recently. - Rob Diana

Rob, I do worry about it because like I said, I've seen the damage it can do. And he's not bringing up "my past" -- there's no substance in his post. You bought into the bullshit. Don't do that Rob. If someone throws up a bunch of garbage at someone, with no links and no specific assertions, don't accept it. And even if there are links and assertions, be careful because there are always two sides, at least. - Dave Winer

Some of the things people say on the Internet are appalling. What was the point of this post, seriously. What a jerk. - Mona Nomura

Dave, by past I meant blogging, RSS and everything else you have done. He just has an axe to grind. Some people can't respect people who are successful. I did not buy into his bullshit at all. You have my utmost respect. - Rob Diana

I complety understand Dave. I, for one, don't care about "sensationalism". When you talk about "code", just show me the code. - directeur

It amazes me how much effort people put into ripping into others! I know emotions run high sometimes but haters need to get a life. Seriously. - WoH: Minding her Steves

I hope we can get somewhere. I want to try the Instant Outlining project again. I think the FriendFeed users might form a good core community. But it's going to have to be focused on the software and users, not politics. It's not really very political. Only for people who want to get in the way. This one isn't really threatening anyone's business, unlike RSS, which definitely did. - Dave Winer

Dave, I have followed you for years, since I stumbled on your Amusing Rants. I looked on as you invented - or played pivotal roles in the development of - outlining (for me an absolutely crucial piece of software functionality), blogging, rss, podcasting, xml-rpc and the rest. I even met you briefly at Boston MacWorld Expo 1996. Never mind whether instant outlining is or is not the progenitor of Twitter (which I don't think you suggested): this guy with his Abusing Rant doesn't know what he's talking about. - Tim Ostler

YEAHHHHH!!!! - Kevin Bondelli

I FEEL GREAT YOU'RE HOT LET'S GET MARRIED! - Dave Winer

YYYEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! - Mona Nomura

ok I'm confused - Bryan Thatcher from twhirl

Don't forget the 500 babies. - Kevin Bondelli

such exuberance in the face over overwhelming adversity is admirable indeed :) - Brad Collins from twhirl

That thing just shattered my brain, but I LOVED it! I feel grrreat. - joshua fouts

Good stuff, I mean GREAT! I barely made it out of YouTube commercial hell. That video led to 10 more. Worse than potato chips. - Larry Kless from twhirl

Babies everywhere! - Pete D

I was looking for the story behind this commercial but couldn't find anything. Who produced it? Who are the actors? Is it a real commercial? Did it run? Where? If so, why did they stop running it? - Dave Winer

I think I just found my favorite video ever. Thanks!!!! - David Weiner

One more thing -- what is Larry playing with at 0:11? http://images.scripting.com/archive... - Dave Winer

@Dave: Does this help? http://www.jwharrison.com/blog... - Benedikt Koehler

I think the commercial may be Canadian -- I have seen the guy lately in another commercial -- possibly for Purolator (a Canadian courier company). I don't remember the commercial though. Added to Utube in 2006 it seems so it would probably be from around that time - Brian Sullivan

Benedikt, yes, that does help. I did some digging around and found something on archive.org. http://bit.ly/19MCMn - Dave Winer

Yeah! I feel great! :) - AJ Batac :)

Justin Reardon was the director. http://google.com/search... - Dave Winer

Yep, good old high fructose corn syrup. - Ken Sheppardson

I need to have me some of those Nutri-Grain - Kevin Singarayar

Thanks, Dave! So will Tony the Tiger be seeking a 'cease and desist' writ? - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ

That is one strange ad. Funny, but I wouldn't have put it on the air. - Raoul Pop

me either. - Robert Seidman

People get so worked up about spoilers! To me, they provide an advantage the movie viewing experience. - Steven (optionshiftk)

dont worry i won't either - Allen Stern

Not reading that... The 1st 5 minutes was enough. ;-) - AJ Batac :)

So tempting but the pure epic-ness of the movie prevents me from detracting from it, not even going to watch any new trailers in fear of them slipping stuff in. - Ed Cline
