 Dirt with Courtney Cox
FX has been spinning the teasers since June and I've always wondered what this show was.
I guess its a type of drama about the tabloids and paparazzi starring Courtney Cox.
Anybody going to watch? I believe it starts early next year... so in a couple of weeks!

I'll give the pilot a shot but I'm not really expecting much.

That's what I've heard too.
I love Courteney Cox, but I probably won't watch.

the teasers looked awesome. but now that they are showing actual scenes it looks like crap.
kinda sad cause it seemed to be a good premise. i'll catch the premiere. i need something to fill my nip/tuck void.

It's hard to believe FX could create a flop, but it sounds like Dirt is a stinker. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

I only liked the parts with the photographer, didn't like much else.

It has potential, but it needs to slow the fuck down. It's not hard to tell that the guy who created the show worked on The Fugitive, Thieves, and Fastlane.
Courtney Cox did a good job of shedding the Monica image.
Overall, I'd give the pilot a B/B-. Just needs to slow it down a bit.

I watched 10-15 minutes of this the other day and I couldn't get into it. I was actually kind of bored.

I was close, but I really wanted to watch it and like it. I think it has potential to get better with the next few episodes.
Anyone else feel like Cox was a supporting character? The emphasis was completely on the acting couple and the crazy photographer.

Just watched episode 2. It slowed down. Unfortunately, it got a lot worse, too.
It's questionable if I'll watch eps 3 and 4.

Yeah... I think I'm going to bail on this show. Episode 3 is looking worse and worse.
Ratings, according to Wikipedia, are not good.
Pilot: 3.7 mill
Ep.2: 2.4 mill
Ep.3: 1.9 mill
That's bad, even by FX standards. I think "Over There" was cancelled with numbers like these. And "Dirt" has no critic support to cling to.

Word is Jennifer Aniston is going to guest star in the finale and make out with Courtney Cox in a scene.

That really irritates me. "Hi, my name is Don. I'm a total wacko!" To me, that conveys the message that they really don't know what to do with the show, if they can't even have Courteney Cox do the "Previously On"s. I just don't see why I would want to continue watching the show. It's filled with the most hateable, shallow, disgusting characters on television. And not in a funny way, like "It's Always Sunny...".
Courteney Cox has shed her Monica Geller image, and it does not look good.
