I havent watched tonight's yet (DVR'd since I just got home), but I saw the pilot on Netflix, and I quite enjoyed it, despite the inevitable pilot awkwardnesses you mention. I really love the Whitford/Perry dynamic, and I definitely think that will be the heart of the show.
I think its only real competition in this timeslot is CSI: Jakarta or whatever, so hopefully it will stick around!
As I mentioned over e-mail, my reaction to the pilot was, "Interesting. We'll have to see how it goes." I wasn't all that impressed by Amanda Peet, either; by the end of the episode, I had decided to withhold judgement until I saw her do something besides smile enigmatially.
After I read your raves, though, I wanted to go back and reread the script (since I figured that might be easier than finding copy of it to rewatch), thinking that maybe I missed somthing.
Although I didn't readily find a transcript, I did find an earlier copy of the script for the pilot, which I thought was fairly interesting. Have you read it? In particular, I think it's a shame they took out the back-and-forth parts between Tom and Simon. It would have helped to better distinugish them from the whirlwind parade of people we were introduced to
