Three Rivers - news, links, discussion - part 7

But I share her concern....how long can the premise of the series (organ transplantation) keep the short attention span of the tv watching public? Don't get me wrong, it's a tremendous cause and idea, but is it entertaining?

I'm concerned about that myself. While a lot of the episodes can have live donors bone marrow, liver etc, there will be a number of them that will also be dealing with deaths, i.e. Heart transplants. People want to be entertained especially on Sunday going back to work.

I also think Amazing Race is the wrong lead in for it. I love Amazing Race but have never liked medical procedurals. Also in January when football ends NBC will have Celebrity Apprentice in that time slot and I'm pretty sure most of the reality fans that may catch Three Rivers after AR will be shifting to Apprentice.

I'm hoping Three Rivers finds it's audience, it is definitely an alternative to Family Guy and Desperate Housewives. Let's keep our fingers crossed for Alex

and now they're promoting Alex and 3R heavily.

I've been a little concerned the last week or so that I'm not seeing ads for TR. Since May or so, whenever I'd see ads for The Good Wife or the new NCIS, Alex would not be far behind. Last week or so, there are three or four Good Wife ads and then a couple of NCIS and . . . no Alex. I've seen so many ads for The Good Wife I think I've already seen practically a whole episode. I know that they are starting earlier but still!

They should just go with these shots for promos, they show much better what the show is about, and have some really believable action and the whole cast in some of them.

I watched NCIS tonight and what I think is happening is that they're focusing on the new and returning series, most of which premiere next week.So tonight they had ads for The Good Wife, Accidentally on Purpose and NCIS, & NCIS LA. 3R is premiering a couple of weeks later. The other thing I've noticed is that during the season, the network will advertise shows that are a day or two later....so on Tuesday they'll promote Wednesday and Thursday shows, for example.

I wouldn't worry....as 3R premiere gets closer, there will be another onslaught of ads!!

ALEX O'LOUGHLIN, THREE RIVERS

On his new character, based on real-life doctor ''Gonzo'' Gonzalez Delinsky: ''There are musicians I love, or actors I love, but I've never been star struck by anyone. But this guy...I'm totally star struck by this guy. He saves three or four lives a day"

This is surely not Alex's fault, but that pic looks like something out of TigerBeat. I mean, seriously? The cute little leg kick?

I know... I hate this photo shoot, guys...I might be the only one, but it's just... wrong...

[PNWgal]

Naw, Alle...you're not the only one.

The tats and the white tee redeem this one...

I love him!

Me too... I posted it as a separate thread in the Alex general discussion area so people can see it easily.
