Yes, 3 movies were so awful I couldn't watch 60 seconds, and all three made it to the second round.

To make matters worse they repeated everything the judges said just to make the show longer and more boring. WOW!!!

Well I didn't even finished the award show, and I deleted it from my season pass.

Mark Burnett should be ashamed to have this show in his production house.

Also IMDB.com doesn't have 5 votes yet, so if anyone else agrees with me, lets vote on this piece of crap show and give it 1 star out of 10.

"On the Lot" (2007)

I'm also disappointed in the show, but I will continue to watch in the hopes that it can only get better!

Just curious, which of the comedy shorts were in your bottom three?

I used the 30 second skip on my TIVO for the Taxi clip, the strip tease, and the guy farting on the airplane.

I've never seen a show that started out so promising crash and burn so fast. WTF were the producers thinking? Just because the stupid format works for "American Idol," which probably has an entirely different audience, doesn't mean it fits for a competition about filmmakers. If they're going to be derivative, at least follow "Project Runway" or "Top Chef" -- or better yet -- "Project Greenlight."

Steaming pile 'o crap.

I just read online where the film showing and the elimination show will be combined for a one hour show on Tuesday. Does that mean we no longer get to vote? Or is FOX just trying to burn the show off as fast as possible?

I have the show set to record new episodes on my DVR. And as of this morning, the Monday show is no longer there, & the description for the Tues show says " 5 finalists show their personal submission films" what is going on?

That's odd. My TV listings have it on for one hour on Monday and 1/2 hour on Tuesday. Nothing on the official website indicating they're throwing in the towel. Would Fox pull the plug on the show this fast?

I don't doubt anything when it comes to Fox and canning shows.

Looks like this show is gonna go the way of most movies this year at the box office - tank!

Two out of your three were also in my Bottom Three - Wack Alley Cab and Check Out (airport strip tease). The third one on my list was File Size, the one about the guy with the "stapler issues."

From the On the lot website. There is no longer a Monday show. It's one hour on Tuesday. How is America going to vote for this now? They have truly messed up a good concept.
