I would certainly not suggest this show is an auto-flop, and I do not think very many postings on here are properly characterized to say that. The show, like all shows, is entitled to work as best it can to find an audience, and it does of course have some things going for it. Largely positive reviews is not one of them. Between hit and flop there is a wide, high risk terrain. There are shows that start like this that end up becoming huge hits, others that fail fairly quickly and still others that limp along for quite some time. The difference is a combination of luck and good producing. This show has found one four leaf clover already-it is hitting in a season that is especially weak overall. That will help it. It lacks a strong hands-on producer. Will someone step forward and assume that role? We shall see. If you believe that some houses are cursed, then you should also believe some are blessed, and it seems the Winter Garden has precisely the blessing that's needed for a show that gets little mileage from reviews.
