I am hooked into this series. It just aired recently here in the Philippines via the Hallmark channel. I thought of surfing the internet now to check the episodes but was disappointed to find out that it was only short-lived. Hoping against hope that this show continues. It was written in good taste

3 lbs aired in the netherlands and is by far the best show i have ever seen. If there is anything i can do to help bring it back plz contact me. Enchantedsun@hotmail.com

Great acting, great script, fantastically put together. The show truly had the type of quality that goes quite missing in all other tv shows.

Does it do any good for actual people that loved ,loved the show 3 lbs, to cry and whine. You took away our favorite show of alllll. I was so happy when I first heard the opening music of Train, Angels, I was choked up. I knew this was going to be the best show EVER. Then you cancelled it. I still get choked up thinking about how awesome the show was…. Please…bring it back. Just needs a new catchy name. I think the name 3 lbs scared everybody away.

I loved it too – I have seen more than 3 episodes on UK TV (but less than 8)- late night on Sundays I think – I missed the end of the last one and it was not on tonight so I suppose the BBC are not airing any more either. What a shame – it is a great programme and I am really disappointed I won’t get to find out what happened to Doug and his visions.

When 3lbs debuted I thought Christmas came early. Stanley Tucci is by far the sexiest man alive. I have been saying that for years. I hope the network releases all of the episodes to buy on DVD. I would pay anything to have them. Right now I just have to be greatful for the 3 I have still in my DVR. And every time my phone rings and plays ” calling all angels”, I can remember the great show that was cut down in its prime. Shame on whoever did that.

I have been patiently waiting for this show to come back!! I really enjoyed the characters and thought it was going to be another E.R.!! And I loved the time slot because there is absolutely nothing on Tuesday nights!!

I find this to be a unique show that doesn’t “fit” the normal nightime soap genre that’s overtaken television. A great cast, mixed with high quality, cutting edge science. Not the normal E.R. drama that other shows deliver where it is all focused on the medical staff characters. The two actors play off each other well and their involvement with their patient characters is a nice change and believable. This show didn’t need 20 actors and a handicapped character to make it work. It was a prime time “nip/tuck” less the sex, violence, nudity and vulgar language cable needs.

man i cant believe that they would do this 3lbs was a good show. 7.9 million viewers is a lot of people. but is it all about the numbers. they are making a very bad error letting this show go.

BRING THE SHOW BACK. I loved the show, the story, the characters, and Feurstein (crush on him for many years). The show really stood out from the other medical shows which were just about gore, not very intelligent like this show. There was nearly enough publicity or ads about the show as I was not aware that it had even started. I had seen only one ad before the show began airing. I happened to add it to my iPod and just happened to watch it on my iPod on a business trip last week. I was very dissapointed to come home and find that it had been cancelled. I WOULD LIKE MORE EPISODES PLEASE. thanks

It sucks that we have to indure mid-season changes… loose a show… find a new show… love it… get thru the christmas break just to find you’ll never see this oneagain. What would hurt to fill in that time slot with the remaining 5 shows? I’m tired of seeing CSI Vegas/Miami/NYC reruns.

I kept trying to find out what happened to 3lbs?
The 2 episodes I saw were great. Love the chemistry.
I also watch House, Grey’s Anatomy, Criminal Minds, and a few comedies.
Anything we can do to get it back on?
Such crap on television today, it’s too bad they cancel the good ones after such a short try.

I purchased three episodes of 3lbs. for my Ipod and just loved it…so did my husband. I actually went to this site to find out what time it aired on CBS only to learned it will not…very bad decision. High quality show, great acting and story lines. Hope it comes back

Too bad, 3 Lbs. was an unusually intelligent show. I will miss it.

By: Brandie

For those of you who miss this show, you should definately check out House, on fox Tuesday night! Basically cause that’s the show that it was modeled after! House rocks!

Please bring back 3 lbs. I loved it and couldnt wait to see it. I havent seen House or ER but I love Grey’s and I loved 3 lbs. I loved Stanley Tucci and I loved the fact that every ending was a happy one. Please bring it back.

3lbs was an AWESOME show. The biggest problem with it was the fact that it aired on the same day as House. Now if you wanted your show to be well liked, well then you dont put it on right after watching House. House is an excellent show, and 3 lbs was pretty good but everyone compares one show to the other and you just cant do that when starting out. Just like the fact that you cant compare Grey’s Anatomy to House. Both somilar shows, both excellent show but both different in their own ways. Also both aired on different days. Put the show on a Wednesday or Friday, and you just might have a shot. I did Tivo this show. I got a season pass and everything because I thought this show had potential. One thing I never did however, was watch the show right after watching House. You definately jumped the gun by pulling this show off the air for good. I’m sure your fans would agree with me at least a little. Think about it and you will see that I’m right. With our luck though no on reads this so all that your fans say has now gone to waste.

House has become a joke to watch. ER is boring. 3lbs was an intersting and very realistic medical show to watch. CBS, in my view, you did not give this show a fair chance. In fact, I believe you blew it by making this quick decision to pull this show. I hear CBS teling their viewers that they are the most watched network.You keep making decisions like this, that could change very quickly. Perhaps another network might be interestd in 3lbs. If they are, I am their.

Big mistake taking off 3lbs. The show was had potiential of being more interesting to watch then ER. Move the show to another time slot if need be. But bring it back.If you want to remain the most watched network on TV, then stop making decisions like this. BRING 3LBS BACK!!

By: Diana

Diana — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 22:11:11 +0000

I also agree that these networks Not just CBS are canceling a lot of programs before they have a chance to get off the ground… some times it takes a season or two to get off the ground. We pay for the shows, and all we are getting is a bunch of reruns…..I am to the point where I I don’t want to see another CSI because it is played on every channel not just one of the CSI’S but all of them. I would like to have a discount on the money I pay to my cable network for all these reruns. BRING THESE SHOWS BACK!!!!!!! THEY ARE A LOT BETTER THEN YOUR RERUNS OF EVERTHNIG THAT USED TO BE GOOD.

Two more sad viewers! My question is WHY? It wasn’t on long enough to ever consider that ratings weren’t what they should be. I mean for real, give the show a chance. My husband and I thought it was one of the best shows on TV. Now Tuesday is movie night. Score big for Netflix!! Not such a great score for CBS or their viewers.
Bringing it back would be wonderful! Hint Hint Hint!

I do hope CBS will reconsider the decision to cancel 3lbs. We loved that show–it was our favorite new show this season even though we only saw the three. It is really sad that apparently the viewing public cannot support a quality program that is not reality based or some silly comedy..They have their place but some of us like something more.

please bring 3lb back!!!!!
bring it back!!!!!
i feel as if there is really too much violence on alot of the t.v shows.What a breath of fresh air to see the chemistry among all the actors in 3lb.Talk about wanting to find a great neurosurgeon-stanley tucci dressing into his scrubs was enough for me to want to watch as well as record for a rainy day!!!!Bring it back.What a tease to know there are more episodes and we are not able to see them.Ihope someone out there is listening!!!

An extremely well acted, engaging show that I made sure I watched live and now I find out that it has been cancelled. Again as many have already said a very bad decision by CBS-This had mega potential and they never gave it a chance. Is CBS trying to force us to watch other networks??

By: Andey

Andey — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 23:07:33 +0000

I agree with all of the previous posts. 3lbs was a great show. It reminded me a little of Chicago Hope (remember that one) and ER back in the beginning. I watched House then flipped over to watch 3 lbs. I really liked the way Stanley Tucci played Dr. Hansen. No he was not House but a fine performance. I hope CBS gives it another chance.

I’m tired of the “regular” channels canceling a show that is great! They complain that their viewer numbers are down. Can’t imagine why????

Stanley Tucci-find a dish/cable channel for your show! I will be there!

I googled 3 lbs. to see when the next episode would be released. Much to my dismay, it has been cancelled! What gives? This was a great program with greater potential if given half a chance. Oh well, what does CBS know. Duh …
Zzzzzzzzz

So after a few weeks, I went to CBS.com to to see if 3 lbs was returning to the Tube, but did not see anything> I was really happy to see all these very sad people on this website…

So, I decided to send this link to CBS and request that they do the following…

Are you bringing back 3 lbs. Put it in another time slot and just show re-runs of CSI at 10pm on Tuesdays…Or move CSI…It has a strong following.

I beg you to put 3 lbs in the CSI time slot (instead of running a “CSI re-run”) and see what happens. PLEASE!!!!

Also look at these comments, you have alot of people upset that this show is gone!!

http://tvseriesfinale.com/2006/11/3_lbs_cbs_kills_the_medical_drama.html

Does your “Neilson Rating-Tracker”, know when your fans are recording the show on their DVR/Tivo? Something to think about….!

Keep complaining maybe we can bring it back…Also send Feedback to CBS too…

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

I cannot believe this show was cancelled. it was a very good drama and had intelligent writers and actors. it’s as good as house or maybe even better. it needs to be given a chance. i still cannot believe its cancelled.

3 Lbs was a great show. Usually it takes months for a new show’s characters to develop. Stanley Tucci was great. Please get rid of the insulting sitcoms and bring back 3 Lbs. I watched the first 3 shows and have been waiting for more. I finally checked the internet just to find out it is gone! You’ve got to be kidding!!!

By: J. Martinez

The case of 3lbs, in my opinion, posseses an ensemble quality in addition to individual talent. It is/was entertaining and intellingent, and should be given a chance.

I am very mad that 3lbs was cancelled. This is/was a great show. I also suffer from seizures. So I can really relate to the show. Only giving it three episodes is stupid. The show was excellent and informative. CBS please bring it back, or atleast release all the episodes on DVD.

By: Unstable

Unstable — Sat, 23 Dec 2006 20:52:22 +0000

This is a message about Kidnapped & 3 LBs. We loved both of those programs. Wish you could put them on at different times and see how they do?

Please reconsider your decission on both of these programs. I have seizures & have had a brain tumor removed.
I find 3 LBs very interesting +++ we do like Kidnapped just don’t drag it out with one person being kidnapped.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to ALL!

Well! I have been wondering about my favorite show, “3 Lbs”. I decided to google the series and came upon this website (which has been added to my favorites!). I am absolutely appalled that such a well-written, intense and, to say the least, interesting series had been cancelled!

CBS didn’t give it a fair chance!

What’s wrong with this picture??? When I was younger, we would all gather ’round the tv to watch our favorite melodramas. If you’re not showing nudity, violence, language and the infamous reality show, forget about it!

I thought this series would be a hit! I added it to my dvr list before the first episode.
Talk about shooting down my confidence! Whew!

Hopefully, if they don’t reconsider, it will be available on dvd because I will be pre-ordering my copy!

I normally don’t post, but this was definitely an exception!

Happy Holidays 2 All!

sad.

I was really into this show and it’s a shame they are going to fill the spot with more mind-less machismo trash. Perhaps we CBS should get to work on CSI-Boise or The Backup Unit.

It’s really sad to think that they’ll spend millions of dollars to produce 8 episodes of a show and only air 3 and call it quits.

dvd or at least itunes would make for a great outlet for similar shows with lower ‘success’ rates.

reconsideration would be good!

Coming from the medical field, 3lbs this is as close as it gets. House is a “has been and now a joke”

Stanley Tucci plays an exact replica of the neuro guys a scrub in with. Bring it back CBS!!

My husband and I loved the three episodes of the medical drama 3 LBS that we saw. I don’t enjoy the main character of the rival show “House” but thoroughly enjoyed the more “human” character in this show. We just got done searching the TV listings wondering what happened to it. We could not believe that it had met its demise. Maybe the executives at CBS need to see the surgeon for some brain surgery of their own! This was a stupid decision. Far worse shows have lasted far longer before having the plug pulled. This one was never given a chance. I guess if a show relies on expensive but GREAT script writing instead of cheap reality tabloid like trash it doesn’t stand a chance. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!

I agree with most of the comments already submitted – this was an intelligent show with similarities to House and Bones, with great actors and good scripts. Three episodes got me hooked, and then nothing. Very disappointing it wasns’t given more time. HOpw the remaining episodes that were filmed will be shown in the new year.

I was very saddened to learn that CBS cancelled 3 Lbs. after watching the first 3 conpelling and interesting episodes. Why is it that only dumbed down sitcoms seem to prevail? Bring back 3 Lbs!

I love House but I also loved 3lbs. You guys need to practice the law of the price tag(leadership law) and not be so quick to cancel in my op-pion a very good show. I believe 3 lbs will catch on and be a very good show for CBS. By the way I think CBS has some of the best prime time shows.

The show was an intelligent series. It offered a way to relax yet not be insulted with cheap jokes, overacted drama and mediocre acting. Instead, it offered complex human issues that were dealt with an air of respect and a more than superficial treatment.
It will be sadly missed as there is no alternative.

I can’t believe you have cancelled this wonderfully, interesting show. I recorded this show every Tuesday on my DVR and then would watch it the next day before work. I am so disappointed that it won’t be back on. Won’t you reconsider, if not Tuesday why not Monday?

Disappointed By CBS…….

I was so impressed by the writing and how thought provoking and emotional it made me…I beleived in these characters. If you won’t put the show back on please tell me where I can buy the dvds.

PS. My husband hates who ever decided to cancel this show…We hope soon you will be fired!

Really? Hmm. A friend of mine produces this show and the last thing I heard was that the show had received an order for additional episodes that will take it to a full season.
