He managed to shrug of an underage sex tape and the Snow White opening of the Oscars. This is nothing.

Did anyone here ever watch the show he left The West Wing for? Lion's Den or something like that.

 

[Bjorn Le]

My girlfriend watches that show. Seems like a fairly generic medical drama.

I heard him talk about this on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me in the last year or so. They went from the network being super involved and meddlesome to being cancelled very quickly and everyone involved with the show was super bitter. He talked about how they ended up with a (never run?) finale where his character got thrown into a wood chipper or something.

Someone's giving him another tv job???

 

[Voight]

Just banking that $.

Same and same. Baffling medical crisis or two occurs and is solved within the hour. Doctors have their own neuroses and issues. Rinse and repeat.

You do know it wasn't about a female stripper right.

I see the show has Luiz Guzman already, is there any comedy at all or just all seriousness?

Maybe they should spin it into a bad version of Scrubs (not quite as bad as Scrubs: Med School)

No, pretty much just seriousness. Maybe the odd bit of dark comedy here and there but nothing more.

It's not a bad show per se, it's just exactly like all of these other medical dramas that you can't remember the names of because they're all so similar and get cancelled and replaced every year anyway.

Light comedy like a typical CBS drama. Not a dramedy like the NCIS' but not entirely serious like a Law and Order.

Guzman plays a male nurse who goes by "Mom" though so there's that. It's honestly fine, but it's nothing special.

 

[Sharpshooter]

I hope he plays his new role like the Grinder.....Grinder MD.

That and Grandfathered. FOX rolls out weak stuff. Fred Savage shouldn't have quit acting.

Moonbeam City was actually kinda cool. It was like a retro new age show with those graphics lol.

Don't at all care for Rob Lowe but man he played Grinder damn well.

 

[sully1410]

I guess the Network really wants Code Black off the air.
