Some good shows have filled that time slot since ER went off the air: Southland, Prime Suspect, uh...probably at least one other. But some TERRIBLE shows have too. I didn't even watch Do No Harm, and I know it's the worst.

I saw about 15 minutes of Do No Harm. It was terrible, but
a) Major lolz at dumb Sean from Rescue Me starring in a show! In Jekyll & Hyde meets ER!b) Sad that once again, Alana de la Garza will be in a quickly cancelled NBC show, because she really needs to be on TV more often

Someone on the show's fb page just pointed out how clever the creators were in naming the character Jason Cole. All so he can be Dr. J. Cole (Dr. Jekyll). rmde

I was briefly intrigued by the conversation with his former fiancee at the end (which is all I tuned into) but once I started asking myself "why does this ostensibly intelligent alternate personality think that permanently scarring someone is how you win them over?" I engaged my eyeroll reflex and never looked back

we're patient with people who grab the brass ring out here reallyi've seen him in a play and he was quite good. no real interest in watching this show though.

but... sean! seriously that role (well frankly much of that show) was pretty demeaning

1.5 eps into House of Cards and finding it a bit rote. Kind of like Ides of March, appropriately enough.

lol it'd be amazing if they really did try to recast her role with Lisa Kudrow or something. i feel like it's been decades since a network flailed this much at trying to retool a show instead of just canceling it and moving on.

My curiosity about seeing what the show would be like as a multi-cam/studio audience sitcom has never outweighed my disdain for how badly it was ruined in between seasons. I hope they never shoot or air any more episodes.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 8 February 2013 21:51 (eleven years ago) link
You can just quit?
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Friday, 8 February 2013 21:55 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I assumed she would have a contract.
I really liked the first season, so it is kind of sad to see what an utter trainwreck it has turned into. Otoh it is kind of funny.

That was one more episode than I thought would air, but a result I can live with.

Ok, Scandal now is officially the craziest show I've seen on network TV. They just keep turning the dial up.
― s.clover, Saturday, 9 February 2013 22:42 (eleven years ago) link
yeah that naked conversation scene was something.
the storytelling is getting pretty out of control, though. maybe it always was, but i watched the first big chunk all at once and didn't have to think about the episode-by-episode. they're off balance without some time to set up meet-the-client scenes, etc.
― j., Saturday, 9 February 2013 23:26 (eleven years ago) link
the hilarious thing is how that scene was the least crazy thing in the entire episode almost. i don't even think daytime soaps have this level of insane plotting. it's almost, the same stuff, but now the people doing it are the president and supreme court justices.

Awesome. Andre Braugher and Chelsea Peretti just joined Mike Schur's new show. I would love for this show to be Braugher's unqualified post-Homicide success.

Want to watch The Americans, will have to hop on board late (though we're just 2 eps deep so far, right?)

not like i need a reason to watch a basic+ cable spy show, but i've been watching FELICITY lately so now i will watch anything keri russell's in, she's great

I don't know if y'all are keeping up with all of this Up All Night news (now possibly a multicam sitcom starring only a pregnant Maya Rudolph), but it's a fascinating look into the inept flailing currently taking place at NBC. I hope someone writes a book.
