3 LBS on hiatus

It’s official, CBS announced that it was putting 3 Lbs on hiatus after only 3 weeks and three episodes. Although the show did not do as well as expected, I feel that CBS didn’t give it a chance. There were many factors that could have contributed to the slow popularity of the show and three weeks was just not enough time for people to start being curious about the show. Not only did the show start in the middle on the season when everybody already had set up their schedule, but it was put on Tuesday at 10pm. I can personally say that I do not stay up late enough at night to watch 10pm shows (which is why I have my DVR ). In addition to all of this, people kept comparing the show to competitor House on FOX, which I have to say was just stupid. Both shows have nothing to do with each other except for the fact that each show was about a doctor. I feel that all the people that said that had just seen previews and not the actual show.

As for me, I have to say that I am upset 3 Lbs was taken off schedule because I was starting to really like it and was looking forward to learning more about the story. Even though CBS hasn’t officially canceled 3 Lbs, I am afraid that the word “hiatus” usually ends up meaning canceled.

When will CBS stop making rush decisions about its shows? It seems that in addition to 3 Lbs, CBS also made a rush decision to cancel its predecessor Smith when it didn’t do as well as expected. Here’s a thought, maybe they need to give the shows that they put on Tuesday nights at 10 pm longer than 3 episodes to win over audiences…

Random Thoughts

For all of you who live in the US, I bet you were pretty disappointed when Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls were not shown on Tuesday night (because of a basketball game, personally not a sports fan). The CW announced that it would show those two episodes on Saturday night at their regular time. People up north actually got to see Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls unlike people living in the US, now how ironic is that?
Haven’t watched Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls yet because of all the festivities (yes Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I have to get everything ready by then).

Wasn’t able to watch 3 Lbs yet either. However, I have to admit I was tempted to watch How I Met Your Mother’s “Slap Bet” episode (or as we better know it: the Robin Sparkles episode!). I didn’t. I’m actually waiting for my roommate to watch it again for me to watch it with him.

Not much news today, the city was pretty empty here, but I can’t complain. A few days off work should allow me to catch with all my favorite shows. So stay tuned for more…

3 LBS promo on CBS

Last night I saw the promo for 3 Lbs which will start on November 14th on CBS at 10pm. I found myslef getting excited by the promo. 3 Lbs really does look good.
Unfortunately, I feel there aren’t much information about the show out there, so let’s hope that people will tune in. 3 Lbs is, I find, a great show and House lovers will probably appreciate it too!
I mean come on, you should tune in just to watch Stanley Tucci being brilliant!

3 LBS - May be released sooner

It looks like CBS might release its new show 3 Lbs sooner than planned. Because of Smith being cancelled, there have been talks about releasing 3 Lbs in November (instead of January for a new Pilot season). 3 Lbs follows Mark Feurstein as an up-and-coming young brain surgeon and his mentor, played by Stanley Tucci.
The pilot seemed like the show was very promising and I am for one going to watch the show. Fans of House might also enjoy 3 Lbs, as it has the same kind of dynamic - an empleasant mentor and his student. And what a surprise, Stanley Tucci’s character in 3 Lbs like House is always right…
I can’t wait for the show to start and the sooner the better.
