Could be the best new show in years. Looks promising.

Max21on Feb. 14, 2012 at 4:24 p.m.

Interesting, and I mean that in the best way possible, I'll check it out come March

Springfarton Feb. 14, 2012 at 4:40 p.m.

interesting, but this intro seems rushed

DBoyon Feb. 14, 2012 at 4:40 p.m.

Looks very promising. I'll be checking it out.

I can't remember the last time I actually followed a show on NBC, but this might be the next one I do. It could be very cool.

It's Fez!

I remember Gary talking about this on the Tested podcast and Rorie bringing it up before. It seems really neat.

Very interested, although I bet at the end it'll turn out the guy was in a coma and both his son and wife died, or maybe neither. Not sure how long the show will last, or how long the concept can maintain itself, but I'm definitely tuning in regardless.

I found myself continually moving closer and closer to the monitor in intrigue.

I NEED to see this show. So fucking good.

TheHTon Feb. 14, 2012 at 7:15 p.m.

Hell yes. I'm down. That was fantastic.

Danyon Feb. 14, 2012 at 7:38 p.m.

This is great. I know it. It better be.

I've never been so excited for a new TV series.

This show is to good looking to be on NBC its a deathtrap !!! This looks promesing and I am down with anything Jason Issacs is in but NBC ooo maybe if this were TNT.

I already know what my dad will say he'll just say they are all dead or something to that effect which misses the point.

Could be the best, could be the worst.
forkboyon Feb. 15, 2012 at 3:36 a.m.

OK, I'm interested. Jason Isaacs is great

JamesJeux007on Feb. 15, 2012 at 5:15 a.m.

Holy. Crap.

I had no idea this show even existed before I saw this. Now, I can tell you that I am on board. The premise sounds really promising and unique, you could go a lot of ways with it. Also, from what I saw in this preview, Jason Isaacs is terrific. And I really enjoyed the use of warm and cold color tones between the two "universes".

The only other Pilot that really got me like that was the House MD one, and it turned out that I really enjoyed it (the first 3-4 seasons at least). Come to think of it, the Pilot for House MD also did something neat with color tones.

Bottom line, I am sooooo watching Awake.

Looks pretty damn cool. It's also nice to see Wilmer Valderrama get some work.

DoakSimon Feb. 15, 2012 at 9:56 a.m.

Hello to Jason Isaacs!

thebatmobileon Feb. 15, 2012 at 11:09 a.m.

I'm on-fucking-board.

KevSlideron Feb. 15, 2012 at 12:33 p.m.

This show will be so great that it'll be gone within a season like Journeyman. Damn you NBC.
