Superb writing and uniformly excellent performances make this one of the best medical shows on television. The characters have depth and the situations have a sense of reality. It is especially well done regarding casting and Molina and Irwin are wonderful in their respective parts. The idea of putting Ving Rhames in the role of a respected doctor is simply brilliant and works incredibly well. However, it seems as if a great deal of what is intelligent on television is canceled before an audience can be found for it. That is the case here and it is extremely disappointing. In the past year, far too many programs have left viewers hanging after they have invested themselves in them because some executives decided a moronic reality show is cheap and easier to produce. The powers that be have little respect for the viewers and they are probably correct because the reality junk will actually get people to gather 'round the glowing box, stare thoughtlessly at the light, and buy the latest cell phone offered.
