I watched the first half of the pilot last night (before I started to fall asleep (because it was very late - not because it was in any way boring)). I found much of it to be quite interesting with lots of potential - though being an Aaron Spelling production during a time when Spelling no longer knew the meaning of subtlety, parts of it were overwrought, and not overwrought in a good way but just bordering on the way that Dynasty became too over the top in its final seasons. What I found most interesting is Melissa Sue Anderson's psychic ability, the fact that Linda Purl's character looks like Michael York's dead wife, who died accidentally or was murdered, depending on who's telling the story (and some of the reactions to this resemblance are places where things are often far from subtle), and apparently there's some sort of force in the house because where I left off Linda Purl is alone in one of the rooms after just mentioning the dead wife and the fireplace erupts in huge flames (sort of like when Barn and Willie discussed Angelique in the '91 show - though minus the actual appearance of Angelique).
I'm definitely looking forward to watching the second half once I get to it...
