With House having ended last season, FOX is trying to fill Mondays at 9pm with a different medical drama, The Mob Doctor. Will this new TV show last as long as the Hugh Laurie series? Will it be quickly cancelled, a moderate success, or a big hit?
The Mob Doctor revolves around a brilliant young female cardiothoracic surgeon who must serve two masters. Officially, she’s a top resident at Chicago’s Roosevelt Medical Center. Secretly, she’s a mob doctor who’s working off the debt of her younger brother’s gambling debts. How long can she keep these two worlds apart?
The TV show’s cast includes Jordana Spiro, Floriana Lima, Zach Gilford, Ċ½eljko Ivanek, Wendy Makkena, Jesse Lee Soffer, William Forsythe, James Carpinello, and Michael Rappaport.
Once the other networks have their shows in place, The Mob Doctor will have tough competition; airing opposite ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, Gossip Girl on The CW, The Voice on NBC, and 2 Broke Girls and Mike & Molly on CBS. FOX has ordered 13 episodes of Mob Doctor to start.
Before you share your opinion below, here are some previews:
So, what do you think? Does The Mob Doctor look like a hit or a candidate for quick cancellation? Will you tune in, DVR the show, or skip it altogether? Do you think previewing and releasing the first episode online will help or hurt the show’s ratings?

I guess when you write out one of the main characters, it’s over.
However-
A rather large percentage of TV is junk and a large percentage goes away after one season.
This one is well written and has a credible cast. It (despite it’s marginal ratings) deserved further consideration. Despite the relatively short term ratings, this show, despite the marketing gurus decision making process, warrants further evaluation.
Please bring the show back!!! Love it!
I love it please keep it
Love this show please bring it back.
As usual the critics screwed up … The Mob Doctor is great ! Who wants to watch Gossip Girls, Whitney, Dancing with the Stars or the 100th season of American Idol ? Not me !!!
Loved it on Hulu watched 7 episodes straight and ran out of episode. I need More episodes man even a clip of the show Pleaseeeeeeeeee!!!!
This show is ridiculous! None of the characters have a Chicago accent. Boring! @@
Excellent show. It’d be a mistake to cancel it.
Horrific. So, so bad.
I love mob doctors I think fox will be so stupid to cancel this show what think they shall do is shuffle it around maybe have it follow American idol on thursday at 9pm move. Glee to Monday’s at 8 pm following bones then have touch air on Fridays at 9 pm following fringe at 8 pm.nor have touch monday”s at 8 pm following glee at 9pm then have bones air Thursday at 9pm following idol at 8pm then fringe Fridays at 8 pm then mob doctors Friday at 9 pm this coming winter please don “t cancel mob doctors put it on hiatus for couple of months & return for some other time .it deserves to be seen give it a couple of more airing and place it this coming January on your shecedle
Loved it! Can’t wait for the next episode.
Will have to wait and see. First episode was pretty good. Sure beats “The Voice”, “Dancing with the stars” and “Gossip Girls”.
If they make it gritty enough it could be a real hit like the “Sopranos” but on mainstream TV.
22 minutes into the first episode to soon to tell…
