CBS yanks ‘Three Rivers’; drama’s future uncertain

CBS announced today that Three Rivers, the Alex O’Loughlin drama about transplant surgeons, has been pulled from the schedule indefinitely and that reruns of NCIS: Los Angeles will take its place Sundays at 10 pm beginning Dec. 6. A CBS spokesman said the freshman drama will remain in production – the network ordered 13 episodes – but that no decision has been made about its future.

Averaging 8.4 million viewers, Three Rivers is currently ranked No. 45 among all primetime shows. The drama was one of the more anticipated shows on CBS this fall because it starred O’Loughlin, a fan favorite from the cult hit Moonlight.

If CBS execs were smart at all, they would bring back Moonlight, which was a fan favorite with a solid following. It is a guarantee it will do well. Alex was awesome in Three Rivers (as he is in everything he does) but the writing on the show was not that great. The networks are overrun with medical drama shows and this wasn’t the greatest. CBS will never learn though :(

For anyone that has not noticed i just went to vote for the peoples choice for Three Rivers and it has been removed, so the voting will now be fixed for anyone that has already voted for Three Rivers it will not count.
How bad is that!!
Is it not the peoples choice?
