Monday Mornings

We don't need a lot more comedy or what passes for comedy on network TV. There are not a lot of shows that take a serious subject and dramatize it so that people who do not just watch CNN and other news can be educated about what has usually been kept 'quiet'. Sanjay Gupta, MD has impressed me all through his CNN career and now he has written a book and collaborated on this TV series so that the general TV watching public can be educated without being 'lectured'. Its entertainment! I too miss ER but this promises to continue in the genre and its a sad statement on North Americans to see such negative responses. Maybe these people should mention the names of shows they DO think worth watching? what .. Survivor?? Anger Management?? Those of us who appreciate really intelligent scripts that for once are not from the BBC need to applaud the producers for serving up what I just told my husband I thought was now the best new thing on TV..and its not even about lawyers and cops! (we like those too). But Gray's Anatomy is more like a soap opera than a drama. Patients need this kind of wake-up lesson about not necessarily trusting the first doctor or opinion. I thought the acting was just fine and appropriate. Please please don't pan this promising new series!!
