I liked it more than I thought I would. I hope White Collar man still shows up on Chuck if they want him to.
I didn't much care for a couple of early events. Bryce's (lets call him that for now) knowledge of the Canadian currency wasn't plausible at all for a 4 year convict. Even worse was his falling into a life of luxury at the thrift shop. I presume they were tying to set up his resourcefulness and skill-sets here, but they came off more like magic to me. The rest of the episode fared much better though.

White Collar was pretty good - the two leads work well off one another.
Great to see actors from my 2 of my favourite shows - Chuck and Carnivale working together. Bomer has the more engaging role, and easier one to play too, but I found DeKay easily comported himself as well.

I liked it quite a bit too. Hopefully it will improve now that they got all the character bits established. Mmm, Tiffani Thiessen.

Elizabeth is way too hot to Peter, at least by 2 levels from 0-10 scale.

I liked the pilot quite a bit.
If he packs on some more muscle, Matt Bomer would make a great Superman.

Bomer auditioned for the part in Superman Returns, but Routh was picked over Bomer and others. Bomer's a little short (not quite 6 feet tall) for that role.

Bomer and DeKay can be seen meshing better in the second episode so that bodes well for the chemistry of the show. Everytime Bomer raised his hand at the police station I had to chuckle. Found the crime of the week weak though - the Ghost sure got flushed out very quickly.
