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?
Maybe all the characters are “too nice”. I don
Please do not end this show. I stopped watching network tv after they ended Moonlight because I was sick of the network not really giving a show a chance. I started watching again when I heard about this show and Alex being in it. Also love Miranda character. It took me two episodes before I realized I used to watch her in the L Word. Guess it’s going to be nothing but cable shows for me here on out.
THREE RIVERS IS AMAZING.. YA THERE MAY BE ALOT FO HOSPITAL SHOWS OUT BUT TO ME THEY ARE KIND OF BORING.. THREE RIVERS IS LIKE A FAMILY. THE ENTIRE HOSPITAL WORKS TOGETHER TO DO WHAT EVER THEY CAN TO SAVE SOMEONE S LIFE AND MAKE THEM BETTER.. IT INSPIRING, BRILLIANT, ANS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST SHOW EVER.. I DONT USUALLY WATCH SHOWS LIKE THIS BUT IT HAS CAUGHT MY ATTENTION ALONG WITH EVERYONE THAT I HAVE TOLD.. THEY ALL NOW WATCH THE SHOW. I HOPE IT DOESNT GET CANCELLED.. I LOVE THE FEELING OF WAITING FOR SUNDAYS ARRIVAL JUST SO I… Read more »
I believe it was a mistake to cancel Moonlight and now Three Rivers is on the block. My husband and I both love this show and not just because of Alex (although his acting is superior, sensitive and believable). The show story lines are gripping and intense and hold our interest to the point where the silence in the room is deafening and sometimes we’re not even breathing. Please don’t cancel this show! It’s one of the best on TV.
I loved Alex Oloughlin in Moonlight, that was my favorite show, and I also love Three Rivers too. What confuses me is that they say it is being cancelled when there not sure yet. I hope they don’t cancel Three Rivers because it is awesome. Also what makes me really upset is everytime CBS keeps putting Alex Oloughlin’s shows on there they cancel them, or is thinking about it. I’m just sick and tired of shows that are always about crimes, and the police, there are too many of them, and half of them I think are not that great,… Read more »
I liked the show but it never had a chance as long as it was going to follow football. You can’t DVR the episodes becasue they always run late due to the games running over so you never know what you’re going to get. It should’ve been debuted on a different night.
Three rivers is such a good show. I got really emotional on the episode from 2 weeks ago where the man donated his organs to all those people. It’s a really moving show. It has amazing actors like Daniel Henney. He is very talented and the show should be given a chance. I hope it doesn’t get canceled. T_T
I hope they dont cancle this show! it has only been on like a month and i already love it!!! it is awesome! so its austailla who wanted it to go off because hes there actor? or is it because it wasnt getting enough rattings? weel eaither way this is crazyyy!!!! someone start a fan website for this show and make it not cancled anymore! post the name of the website on here!!!! GOOD LUCK 3RIVERS!!!!
Im memorie of 3rivers 🙁
I think Three Rivers is a great show and I am bummed that it is been cancelled!
I would be greatly disappointed in CBS if they take Three Rivers off the air. I am a huge fan of Alex O’ Loughlin. I was very upset when they pulled Moonlight off of CBS. CBS will be fools if they take Three Rivers off the air. I would be very sad.
I think Three Rivers is one of the best TV shows in a long time. The acting is superb and have even brought me to tears. I can’t believe this fabulous show hasn’t made it. Hope they rethink this decision.
Poor acting not believable!!
What is the deal with CBS?? Why do they keep cancelling series starring Alex O’Loughlin? Moonlight was awesome and I’m still annoyed that they only made one series and now we don’t even get the chance to see Three Rivers properly in Australia!! Do they actually ask the viewers what they think. Why pull a series after only 1 viewing when you haven’t even given it a chance.
I have to admit I have not seen 3 Rivers – but Alex O’Loughlin in Moonlight — OMG — made me wish I was Beth!!!Well not always cause she was too high strung sometimes. I just learned about 3 Rivers by searching him on IMDB and found this article. I just watched the 5 day marathon of Moonlight they had and I am sooo sad that the series ended after only 16 episodes. I want some more Moonlight! giggle. I think I am a little two old for Vampire Diaries… it was great having a hot 30 something vamp to… Read more »
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!!!
