Utopia - series premiere

Billed as innovative and experimental, Fox’s UTOPIA is little more than a tired BIG BROTHER retread of strangers living together and filmed for twenty-four hours.  The series is meant to last a year, but there was so little of interest in the first two hours that I can’t imagine this series will last even a month on the air.  The cast of fifteen men and women are obnoxious made-for-reality-TV stereotypes and each play their boxed-in roles predictably.  Unsurprisingly, the producers of this show provided booze for their cast in an attempt to prod some drunken drama, but half of the episode seemed to concern whether some morons will stay in the Utopia community or depart.  Who could possibly care?
