Default Just got back from a focus group

I got paid $80 to watch the pilot of this TV show:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1043725/

It was pretty good. The characters were pretty funny. It was kinda goofy and reminded me a little bit of Scrubs. I liked it so I hope it makes it to TV.

nope..everything has always been pretty good. Some of the wine coolers were just ok...and some of the pizza was sub par...but there is always something I have liked at each one.

From the thread title I thought you formed a focus group to get feedback for your website :hs:
