to anyone who might think this show isn not for them and please give it a try . network television have degenerate into show that be clone of clone or be reality base show feature some often unreal people . this show be a return to family orient tv where the emphasis be on learn some life lesson and learn what real friend and family be about and and maybe even learn a little bit about our national pastime . jeremy sumpter be one of the most appealing young actor in show business today and and he be perfectly cast a the young and slightly naive new batboy for the fictional new york empire ( great name . ) . dean cain and christopher lloyd and mare winningham and and kirsten storm round out the main cast and and they be all exceptional . this show deserve a chance to catch on and be see . hopefully it will stick around for a few season and we can watch pete young ( sumpter character ) learn and grow .
