YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!

I'm always on the look out for new shows, and when I came across the title of this show, I thought, "hmm, sounds interesting". However, upon further delving, I discovered that it's premise was organs and of a 3-way viewpoint; the donor, the recipient and the surgeons. ARE. YOU. PULLING. MY. LEG!?? How desperate are they getting for ideas? Why don't they just go ahead and call it "Four Rivers" and have the fourth viewpoint be that of the organ itself??? We could see how the heart was deeply in love with the liver and how torn they both were when the heart had to go to another "home", but in good spirit, the liver threw a leaving party for the heart, of course, using the lungs as ballons.

How ridiculous an idea for a drama - don't get me wrong, it would be interesting as documentary, but a serialised drama? Come on! And people wonder why it was canceled - it was a waste of money developing it and putting it on TV in the first place. I'm seriously thinking of pitching an idea about the lives and times of a set of table and chairs; it would be shot from one angle and there'd be no dialogue....

I actually loled at the four rivers line. Actually I didn't think the premise was bad, I just think it was executed badly. I think it's an alright idea, it could have given them more stories in exploring the different interactions and sides to the story. Every person in every individual situation is different - so what connects them all?

Anyway if you want bad I suggest you try Trauma. This is the only show I have ever stopped halfway through the pilot. This time, I'm not willing to give it a chance because it is so terrible and they expect us to just eat it up.

I think it was called three rivers due to it's location in Pittsburgh. The Steelers play at three rivers stadium.

The Steelers play at Heinz Field. Three Rivers Stadium was demolished several years ago. But yes, you are correct -- the show title comes from the setting. Pittsburgh is the point where the Ohio, the Allegheny, and the Monongahela rivers come together. Three rivers, OP.

I'm sorry, is this a press conference?

I can see myself getting into Three Rivers, I like the main guy- from Moonlight that did not make it and the main girl with the short dark hair.

As for Trauma. I got into that show. It was nice. I thought. Though it got canceled because it was to expensive to make. I can see myself following both shows. Truama was getting more Character development.
