How 'bout they toss the execs making the programming decisions...that would get their attention

Seriously, I am sorry for my Aussie sisters....it's just not fair.

I've gone from being really sad to being really pissed. I mean, 1 episode is not enough to judge the show on. However I still can't understand how it rated so low - 499 000 viewers - thats amazingly low. Even ML used to get around the 700k mark I think. The lead in was NCIS LA which had 1 million viewers which is considered good numbers. How it fell so low after that I am at a loss to explain. I'm starting to think people just don't like the premise of the story so are unwilling to give it a go. I know I few of my friends said it sounded really boring, after I had explained the show to them so didn't want to watch. I guess when it comes to medical shows, people either like reality shows or soap opera style ones, and poor old TR is probably stuck somewhere in between.

I'm afraid Grace with the numbers TR got on Wednesday night (and we even had the correct episode to premiere) there would only be enough tea for a cuppa!!

hmmm..... pulled off air here after only one episode. I suppose I'm going to have to duck tomatoes because I gave this a go the other night to see what vehicle CBS put our boy in after the ML decision debacle and I have to say I was sorely disappointed. PUtting it in context, the only medical series I've ever really warmed to is 'Scrubs', but having said that, I thought the show was fairly two dimensional, I didn't think any of the characters were particularly likeable, and the transplant of the week lacked tension. I agree with something Lilly said earlier about the writers making Yablonski too perfect. Where was the interesting story arc conflict created by character flaws such as an addiction a la House or Nurse Jackie, or neurotic insecurity a la JD in Scrubs? I reckon some of the writers on this board could write a more interesting vehicle for Alex than it seems the CBS staffers can.

Wow, this a really bad sign, I believe. People all over the globe apparently think TR is a bit of a snooze. We are just biased 'cuz our guy is in it. You know, it could get a lot better but it's really difficult to overcome a bad start like this. I'll keep watching and hoping.

Thanks, JIMS. Not only do we get a lovely interview and pic of Alex, we get a Lennie James pic too! Be still my heart.

And on an unrelated and note, I've seen a few posts here from people who didn't like or were underwhelmed by the show and quite a few make reference to having to duck tomatoes. Just for the record, not a single tomato has been chucked anywhere on this thread. Like the show or don't like the show, your posts are welcome.
