CBS’ Sunday night medical drama, Three Rivers, is destined to be cancelled here in the US but at least the show is still on the air.
The network hasn’t announced any plans to pull the Alex O’Loughlin series yet, perhaps in part due to the actor’s active fanbase from his days on Moonlight. Apparently people from the actor’s home land of Australia aren’t as sentimental. Three Rivers has already been cancelled there.
Three Rivers was pulled from the schedule of Australia’s TEN network after just one airing.
The premiere ran on a Wednesday night and attracted fewer than 500,000 viewers, putting it in fourth place for the timeslot. The show was replaced on the schedule by an NCIS repeat the following week.
TEN has yet to indicate any interest in returning Three Rivers to the schedule.
What do you think? Why isn’t this show working? Bad storylines, poor acting, a flawed premise, or something else?

There are so many new hospital shows , too many.
They feel old and stale.
I have been watching the BCC online and they seem to have such interesting and different shows, like Ashes to Ashes and I love the new Dr. Who stuff.
I wish all the TV did not feel so “samey” in the U.S.
I do love The Closer, and Saving Grace, and In Plain Sight and of course House, (which features the amazing British Actor, Hugh Laurie.
Three Rivers has got a great cast! A former vampire (Alex O), a former government agent (Alfie Woodward), and a former lesbia n (Katherine Moening). You’d think this show would have a large loyal following. Too bad that the show doesn’t have a “real feeling” to it. The plots are very predictable. The characters have very little interaction with one another. The hospital is very “sterile”, there’s absolutely no realism to it, there aren’t any doors in the individual rooms. Operations happen in minutes. I would love to see this show improve cause I really love the main stars!
i watched it for the first time last sunday and I LOVE IT
i hope it doesnt get cacelled
it seems like every show that actually interest me gets cancelled
but i forgot about the show then i seen it was on last sunday and watched it and now i cant wait until sunday to watch it again
I LOVE THREE RIVERS!!!! I don’t think that it is fair for the network to cancel a show that has not been given a fair chance to really show what it can do. Frist of all they have it on Sunday night which is filled with football or basketball (when the season starts.). I think its a good show and it deserves a shot. The actors are great together and I think that the show could really make it. I also think that the show gives good insight on what happens when doctors are faced with choices.
I hope they don’t cancel Three Rivers! I like this show so much more than the other medical shows that are on the air. I feel the reason it doesn’t do well in the ratings is due to football being on! This show very rarely starts at 9:00 PM due to football.
This show is excellent! I don’t know why more people aren’t watching. It’s one of my favorite new shows this season. I really hope it doesn’t get canceled. That would be such a shame.
ok,,,i love this show…but if they must give it the axe…then bring back moonlight.
CBS has done such a disservice to a wonderful actor!!!
