July 10, 200719 yr First episode was awesome. Who else watched? I recorded it, gonna watch it tomorrow.
July 10, 200719 yr It was entertaining. I didn't think I'd like it but it kept my attention. Whoever plays Steinbrenner isn't a very good actor though.
July 10, 200719 yr Whoever plays Steinbrenner isn't a very good actor though. :| :| :| :| He's Oliver Platt and is a very very very highly regarded supporting actor, so I don't know where you are coming from. He's an outstanding actor, The fact he doesn't fit your definition of Steinbrenner(which is a very tough role to play because everyone already has an idea of him) does not take away that fact.
July 10, 200719 yr I enjoyed it, but I won't go out of my way to catch it again (I never really plan what I watch on TV). But hey, if it's on, I'll watch.

LOST :whistle The Home RUn Derby was so boring that I literally fell asleep before being able to watch it. Im glad to hear it was good I need to watch it.
July 10, 200719 yr I liked it, I may watch a few more weeks. How many weeks total is this show? 8 weeks. So there are 7 more episodes.

LOST is basically the only show in the last decade I have watched regularly.
July 12, 200719 yr To me, it's amazing how much they made Turturro look like Billy Martin, but I think they could have done more to Platt to make him look like Steinbrenner. For a network show it's quite good.
July 19, 200719 yr espn knows what they are doing with these things. 3 was okay, the pete rose thing was great...they sure do a hell of a job
July 21, 200719 yr ESPN is getting better with these....Tuturro is great as Billy Martin, anyone remember the Joe Torre one after the 96 season? (with fat Paul Sorvino playing Torre) that was their first one i believe and it was AWFUL!!! the fans were painted on canvas and all the players threw like girls.....so this is a BIG improvement....altho I agree the guy who plays Reggie could be alot bigger and should have studied Reggies swing more......Tom Jayne and Barry Pepper did a better job as Mantle/Maris in '61........
August 14, 200718 yr Is there a place online I can catch last week's episode? I didn't get to see it and never saw any reruns.
August 15, 200718 yr I've seen bits and pieces and it looks pretty good (may get it when it comes out on DVD), but I don't know about the splicing of real footage in with the actors. Looks kind of amateurish. Speaking of amateurish, I noticed that when "Reggie Jackson" was batting tonight in a game against KC, the backdrop of Yankee Stadium and the fans was a still....as in, none of the fans were moving. Kind of strange.
