Two weeks out from its premiere, initial reactions to the “Ghosted” pilot have been mixed. The primary complaint is that it deals too much in exposition and explanation at the expense of actual comedy.  However, critics remain hopeful that the freshman offering from Fox can pick up steam in episodes to come. The looming question is whether or not viewers are willing to give the show a chance. In our fractured and bountiful TV environment, can a show survive with a mediocre pilot? Or will the audience turn elsewhere before giving “Ghosted” a second chance?

The Entertainment Weekly TV team argues that Scott and Robinson make up “this season’s best new bromance” and perhaps audiences will agree and stick with the likable stars. Of course, it remains to be seen whether or not the rest of the season will live up to expectations, and if “Ghosted” can succeed in a Fox Sunday night timeslot where so many others have failed.
