Goofs:
Continuity: The type of rifle that is in Sam's hands when it is kicked by his Dad changes. When he places it down when he goes to talk to his younger version on the boat it looks like a Ruger Mini 30. When he picks it up a minute later it has changed into a Ak-47 or SKS type of rifle, which is then kicked by his Dad and it seems to go over the side of the boat. That is a less expensive type of rifle, which may be why it was the one tossed into the water.

This show is really fun to watch. The music makes you feel good and takes you back to memories such as... Love, peace, sex and all that good stuff. Remember when?
Each episode is original and not predictable. Maybe people don't get it because it is not really mainstream, but that is what I love about it.
Harvey Keitel is great as Lieutenant Gene Hunt. I love Gretchen Mol, Michael Imperioli and Jonathan Murphy, and yes, Jason O'Mara is "The Man".
The episodes are interesting along with all the characters. It is a real trip and leaves you feeling groovy.
Please think twice about canceling this show. It Rocks!
