I do think this is a direct result of the way the show was marketed...it was pushed as "the Alex show" when it clearly was written to be an ensemble cast. And we all commented that they needed to make Dr. Andy less of a saint than he appeared at first...naturally, just as that was beginning to develop, poof! it's cancelled.

Is is unfair to blame Alex, and his talent, for the way TR played out in the ratings? Personally, I think it is unfair. There were a lot of factors here, just as there were with Moonlight. Not the same factors, perhaps, but nonetheless, the failure of a tv show is rarely squarely on the shoulders of one person.

Wow, CBS screwed up again (not bashing, either- the proof is in the pudding). What a shame. IMO Alex needs a more action oriented series to show off his talents. TR was maybe too precious and it makes me wonder what other choices he was offered.

Yes, it's clear CBS was grooming him. It's good they have that kind of belief in him. It makes me wonder what real choice he had, in the end.

I wonder what was so attractive about "Highway to Heaven" because TR reminded me of it. That, or that angel show.

If they are gonna bash anyone (and no, I haven't read the comments), then bash CBS for the choices they made. I consider TR a misfire in the Alex oeuvre. It's not something, I'm guessing, he had that much control over. And he certainly had no control over how it all was presented and what the results were. To blame him for the show's demise is childishly vengeful, making him a convenient scapegoat. Not cool.
