0 Comments With its upcoming Three Rivers, CBS hopes to work its way into a medical genre that for years has been dominated by NBC (ER) and ABC (Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice).
Three Rivers goes inside the lives of organ donors, the recipients and the surgeons at the preeminent transplant hospital in the U.S. - in Pittsburgh, Pa., thus the name.
The series premieres in the fall of 2009.
As part of a new CBS roster that includes NCIS: Los Angeles, Three Rivers offers stories and characters whose unique, intertwined perspectives show how dealing with donor families and managing the fears and concerns of recipients takes more than a sharp scalpel.
Three Rivers stars Alex O'Loughlin and Julia Ormond.
Here's a three-minute preview of the show:
We're months away from the series premiere of Melrose Place. But it's never too early for a few juicy spoilers, right?
Sources say two major events take place on the pilot episode of this remade series:
We have more than just a few storyline rumors, however. Below is a video comprised of couple clips from the series premiere.
In the first, David (Shaun Sipos) confronts Sydney (Laura Leighton); in the second, Simpson's Violet meets Colin Egglesfield's Auggie.
At this week's Friday Night Smackdown taping, the stage for Extreme Rules began to be set.

It looks like CBS has a hit on its hands with its new drama, The Good Wife, starring Emmy Award-winning Julianna Margulies.
Margulies stars as Alicia Florrick, a wife and mother who has to go back to work when her husband ends up in jail after a political scandal.
Watch the three minute plus clip as the cast of The Good Wife introduces us to the show amongst clips from the first episode:
With ABC renewing Scrubs for a ninth season after its very perfect "My Finale" episode, what does series creator Bill Lawrence have planned for us?
Well first, Lawrence defended to his decision to Ausiello by saying, "There are 107 people that work on that show. I've worked with them for eight years now. If there's a chance for everybody to work another year, my attitude, business-wise, is 'legacy-schmegacy.'"
Lawrence continues, "I couldn't give a f--k, to tell you the truth. I thought the first eight years of Scrubs was great. I'm super proud of it. There's absolutely nothing that could possibly happen that could change that.."
Lawrence identifies that, "On the creative side, some people are like, 'It should end on a high note creatively. It shouldn't be something that taints our memory.' And I get that. [But the other] 50 percent of the people are like, 'Oh my god, I'm so glad to have a show back that I care about.'"
Bill reacts, "The way to bridge that gap is I've got to consider Scrubs over. The way that I'm viewing it is the way Frasier was to Cheers: It'll be essentially a new show with some characters that people liked."
As for whether Sarah Chalke will take over J.D.'s duties at Sacred Heart, Lawrence replies, "I would've had Sarah in a heartbeat. I think she's got enough going on in her career [right now]."
As for her still appearing, Lawrence guesses, "I'd say it's 50-50 she's in some episodes. I know she'll at least be in one or two."
However, Lawrence has recently tossed around the idea of Turk teaching at med school and ABC has passed on Donald Faison's comedy pilot The Law.
Yesterday we posted Ausiello's interview with Josh Schwartz, where he asked what we can expect out of season three when Chuck returns midseason.
Now Ausiello has posted the second half of the interview, which features some good Chuck season three spoilers. Here's the second half:
MICHAEL AUSIELLO: Will Chuck and Sarah start the season off as a full-fledged couple?
SCHWARTZ: Chuck having the Intersect in his head will severely complicate their ability to be a couple ... [And] look for a potential new love interest on the show.
Really? For who?
Someone who could triangulate between a couple of characters.
Male or female?
Gosh, isn't it more fun to tease?
Locked in to CBS' fall schedule, NCIS: Los Angeles stars Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J.

With the (incredible!) series premiere of Glee in the books, we can finally start looking ahead to the fall, when this series will be part of the regular Fox schedule.
What can fans expect to see during its first full season run? Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly knows one thing fans won't see: an affair.
