The first episode of this series absolutely captivated me. I was fascinated by the whole concept of parallel dimensions and how the differences could be as minimal as "green is stop, red is go" or as massive as having dinosaurs still roaming California. I was very disappointed that it got canceled after just a few episodes, and delighted when it got picked up elsewhere. The twist at the end of the first season was absolutely wicked.
But the fact is, somewhere along the line, they decided they needed more than just a new dimension or two every week. They invented an ongoing enemy which had to be fought in every episode; brought in a previously unheard-of brother for Quinn (played VERY stiffly by Charlie O'Connell, the real-life brother of Jerry O'Connell who plays Quinn); eliminated original characters and brought in new ones. The show that had so entranced me at first no longer held my interest for even part of an episode.
I wish they had ended the series rather than getting into the war with the Kromaggs.
