Medical
This is a medical drama about an acclaimed transplant hospital and the team, which hold life and death in their hands everyday. The team is comprised of Dr. Andy Yablonski, the lead surgeon; Dr. Miranda Foster, a woman trying to live up to her father's reputation; Dr. David Lee, a resident more… More interested in his private affairs; Ryan Abbott, the new transplant coordinator struggling to balance the aspects of his job; Pam Acosta, the surgical nurse and Dr. Sophia Jordan, the head of surgery who needs to keep everyone in line. Every case is viewed from the perspective of the team, the recipient and the donor. This show is set in Pittsburgh at Three Rivers Medical Center, William H Foster Transplant Wing.
CBS is pulling the organ-donation medical drama from Sunday nights effective immediately. "Rivers" is still in production and the network will complete all 13 episodes of the show's initial order. Though network sources say no final decision has been made about its future beyond the 13,… More given the show's consistent sub-2.0 ratings, fans shouldn't expect anything more than a burn-off at some point. http://www.thrfeed.com/2009/11/cbs-pulls-three-rivers-.html
If I understand correctly, there are still about 5 unaired episodes. Does anyone know if they are still going to air those? Because I would very very very much like to see them. Ps. It totally sucks that they pulled this show! Poor Alex...
Let's discuss Sunday's episode Win-Loss here. From CBS.com: When a bride is gunned down at her wedding, the team is sent to harvest her lungs to transplant into a college basketball player.
The writer knows nothing about Pittsburgh. A white man in the mob would never end up on a North View Heights/Project roof/gated community. It would help if writer knew the Burgh culture. 2nd time last time it was miss info about the Hill District. hide show
I enjoy the overall medical content of the show. However I question the writers integrity because they pretend to know Pittsburgh and create outside story lines to the neighborhoods and communities. Growing up in Pittsburgh I know an Italian man with so called Mob connections would have never ended up dead in North View Heights on the roof undetected. It is a gated community and you must show proof you live there or you are visiting someone who does. How did he get there in the trunk of a car please? make the Story believable. It like the writer is mixing NY with Pgh. Its not the same. Last year the writer made a reference to a crime on the hill and made it seem as if the Hill was full of vacant lots and absolutely no housing. True the hill needs development however, that is only specific to small areas if he were to visit the Hill District he would find most of the Housing has been newly developed and the community is up and coming. Its like he is writing based on the 70's or 80's and not know. Pittsburgh needs to change but this author or the writing staff need to present a more believable story. Its like he's recreating Hill Street Blues with a Medical Drama.
I look forward to Sundays seeing "Three Rivers". hide show
I love it. Katherine Moening is a great actress on this show. Please don't cancel this show, the only show I love to watch. "Three Rivers" is a modern world medicine hospital. Its a show that is very interesting and wonderful. Yes, there are alot of medical drama series. But, this show is one that involves the patients, not the staff only like "Mercy" does. "Three Rivers" is a transplant hospital that shows compassion to its patients. That is a show I like to watch. I do hope that CBS doesn't drop the show. To me, I think CBS made the right decision putting "Three Rivers" on as a series.
I love Alex O'Loughlin and the show has a good concept but... hide show
I like the idea of a medical show about transplants, but the writing on this one does need to be improved. I don't think the show is quite as hopeless as some suggest, after all I've seen some good shows that had a rocky beginning before. Some shows are given a chance to improve and others are axed before they are even allowed to. Sadly, most shows fall into the latter category and Three Rivers will probably be one of them. If they are given a chance to improve, they should jettison all the techno toys (someone must have thought this was going to be another Star Trek show) and concentrate on good story telling and character development. (They probably put the techie stuff in there to bring in the young viewers, but clearly it didn't work.)
THREE RIVERS- come on CBS, you can use Alex's popularity and Moonlight's fan base better than this pablum. The show needs a good VAMPIRE !!! hide show
As a "Moonlight" fan I was eagerly looking forward to Alex's new show. I was very dissapointed. Each week we have:
(1) some poor upstanding citizen who dies, (2) some other good/bad/indifferent victim who needs the dead person's organs,
(3) Angst and hand wringing over reasons why the organs can not get there in time,
(4) Alas- all is well and the excellent acting team playing an excellent surgical team get the organs and complete the surgery just in time...
Uhg- I lasted through three episodes, my wife only made it through two... and she is one of Alex's biggest fans.
This show needs a good Vampire. Too bad CBS canned "Moonlight". It was a far better offering than any other mythical offering on network TV today. "Three Rivers" is an unfortunate and way too predictable substitute- just to get a popular actor back on the schedule.
I really love this show! With all the lame "reality" shows, all the violent crime dramas, and all of the lame comedies, this one is a medical show that isn't all about doctors and nurses having intimate relationships but making difficult decisions, and dealing wit moral and ethical conflicts.
It is something I look forward to every Sunday.
It is good to have a variety of shows to choose from--I enjoy the crime dramas, and am a firm fan of Numb3rs, the Mentalist, Law & Order, Law & Order CSI and The Forgotten,(also the dear, departed, "Without a Trace") but I also enjoy a change. I enjoy "Jeopardy!" for its challenge mentally, "Wheel of Fortune" for sheer fun, Jay Leno for his take on politics, etc., and "Three Rivers" rounds things out nicely.
This is the only medical drama I have watched in decades.
Keep it up! Keep it going!
