Well, I'm hooked as long as it doesn't suck the fun out of itself before the first season is up like Heroes did. How long before this song gets played in an episode?

What killed Zero Hour was its insistence, that it was 'Serious Business', and the fact that Anthony Edwards has been incapable of enjoying himself in a role since 'Gotcha'. 'Sleepy Hollow' does not have either of these issues which gives me hope.

I liked the show, though parts of it didn't make sense to me. I guess I can buy the seemingly strange police ineptitude though, because it's like that way because of "evil plot." Hopefully a character will call out the fact that their police department is strange.

At least the PD is more competent than Sunnydale's.

Yeah, I'm not going to jump on you for not liking the same show I do but it's weird you just complained about something Grimm is far, far worse at. I couldn't even make it through the 4th or 5th episode of Grimm because of how generic it was. It's basically Sleepy Hollow that takes itself way too seriously and doesn't have any of the humor.

To be fair, Grimm does have Monroe, Hank, and Wu...

Yeah, I don't remember the War of 1812 being covered until high school, and it was I think it was pretty brief then. Not something we focus on.

I'm from Baltimore. The schools there drill in the War of 1812 because of the fact that the National Anthem was written at the Battle of Fort McHenry.

I love this show so much, I just discovered it after it was mentioned in the Almost Human thread, and I've just spent the past two days marathoning all the episodes so far.

It's the closest thing to Buffy/Angel that's existed since Angel finished.

Grimm is actually closer, but Sleepy Hollow is in the ballpark.
