Sorry about the show you loved–really. I adore Alex and truly hoped this new show would be wonderful. I was not at all expecting it to be “Moonlight!” That would be absurd, given the subject content! But people who hate “Moonlight” fans love to say that about us–we won’t be satisfied unless it’s “Moonlight.” Nothing we say or do will convince you otherwise.

Suffice it to say, I own “Feed” and love it, I own “The Shield,” which Alex starred in for a season, and love that too. I didn’t love “Man Thing” so much, but I own “The Oyster Farmer” and think it’s charming. Alex simply needs a venue to show off his many talents and, unfortunately, “Three Rivers” was not the show to allow him to use all of those crazy-wonderful talents of his! AH! I just hope “Back Up Plan” will let him shine!

You really should love a show for more than one actor, IMO, especially if you’re going to be writing about it (recapping or reviewing). I mentioned Jason Dohring as the type of personality that might spice things up, but I also wrote that about Mandy Patinkin. When I heard Mandy would be in one episode, I hoped he would be a doctor who could inject some life into this bland little offering! Of course I would never expect CBS to put a “Moonlight” actor in Alex’s new show–at least not until maybe the 4th season or so! DUH!

And hey! I DO realize there are people who will love a show JUST because Alex is in it–but that was our beef with Nina Tassler–she thought that simply because she stuck Alex in a show, it would draw all of his former fans and would be a hit. She was wrong there! Some of us are more discerning about our entertainment, and badly written episodes don’t keep our attention. I’m sorry, but there was not one single “Three Rivers” episode that didn’t have some serious problems. Mostly it was boring. (And the mispronounciations drive people in the medical community nuts.)

We all see now that I was right–more and more people dropped off the radar as the show went along and didn’t get any better. I was not one of them–I hung in there and watched every one! Oh yeah–HOPING they’d get better. Hoping they’d get interesting. But that wasn’t to be and now maybe Alex will be able to find a venue which will truly show off everything he can do–and THAT is AMAZING!

I do thank you for keeping everyone up-to-date on what is going on with “Back Up Plan” and other things regarding Alex O’Loughlin. Hopefully the next project will be a huge winner because he is so deserving of that.

We have had a rough start with the show as far as numbers are concerned. Hopefully, this is due partly to East Coast football and baseball playoffs. But our wonderful cast and crew maintain an attitude of stoicism and commitment in the promise of more attention toward this show which I have come to love and believe in so much.

When I first read the pilot I wasn’t sure if I could pull it off. If I could in fact breathe any life whatsoever into this surgeon guy, Andy Yablonski.
I have worked really hard and i continue to study everyday the medical text books and reference material I use for this show. I collaborate with everyone on the show to make it better for you on Sunday, and now we are on the air pushing through to what we hope will be a “back nine” pickup, meaning Three Rivers will live to see a full season.

I want you all to know that as always, I humbly appreciate all the support I constantly receive and that I am fighting hard to bring you a show I hope we can all be proud of.

Until we speak again, thank you and please tune in to Three Rivers!

All my love,

Seems to me like you are writing the show off because it isn’t Moonlight. You certainly seem to have some strict criteria.. Jason Dorhing as a sidekick… hmmm…. sounds familiar. Too bad so many fans were set against giving the show a fair shake.

If the show is not your thing that’s fine.. but please realize that not everyone feels like you do… AT ALL.
