"Big Shots" is basically the male equivalent of "Desperate Housewives" in some respects, but the main 4 male leads are all CEO/leaders of their respective companies/organizations and friends who commiserate about their problems and celebrate their triumphs. Can't see too many from the female demographic objecting too much to the cast that includes Dylan McDermott, Michael Vartan, Joshua Molina and Christopher Titus.
I liked it, but it's a fluffy piece of entertainment. It's a little tough to be all that sympathetic to these "big shots", though. Did enjoy seeing Paige Turco getting some regular work, as well as Peyton List, who plays Cameron, Duncan's daughter (and I remember as Lucy Lane on Smallville for an episode, and was on Day Break for a few episodes). Didn't realize Jessica Collins (Marla) had all that going on underneath her wardrobe, but remembered her from Tru Calling.
I hope the writing gets a little sharper and provides some more less cliched subplots and situations that these "big shots" face in their daily lives. The male cast is overall pretty good, though.
With ER floundering these days, I may switch over and watch "Big Shots" live, and relegate ER to time-shifted viewing.
