Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Pepper Anne This show came around about the same time as another CBS drama called 'Family Law.' They had similar qualities as far as narrative arrangement, cast (as far as types of characters and the notoriety of the actors before coming on the show), and setting (California). This one, however, was a medical show while the latter was obviously a legal drama.'L.A. Doctors' focused primarily on three doctors (Ken Olin, Matt Craven, and Rick Roberts) in a small, upscale California medical firm, thus already distinguishing it from its medical show predecessors as well as popular medical shows on other networks at the time (especially E.R.). The format made the stories much more personal, and slightly more dramatic than shows like E.R., where the dominating hospital setting carries you more into the technical aspect of the show, or limiting you to focus mostly on the patients, with whom you usually only have an episodic connection with (each episode presents a new set of patients and a new set of stories). Although, E.R. does also provide insight into the assorted affairs of its team of doctors, 'L.A. Doctors' was still able to draw you closer to its three main characters (later four, as Sheryl Lee joined the cast as a regular) because of the arrangement of the story. The patients never really dominated the story, although their assorted additions to the human interest side was often interesting, nonetheless. I think CBS was trying to give you a nighttime drama that, while it still captured the cliché of the only professions that network television dramas really pay attention to (law enforcement or doctors), was still able to provide more personal drama. The latter seemed to dominate, however, and the viewer becomes more absorbed into the doctor's affairs much more than the patients. Usually the opposite happens on E.R. and similar shows, or the patient and doctors dramas tend to get equal focus.'L.A. Doctors' was a fresh show, especially considering the competing lineup (even outside of medical shows) for its day. It was often amusing at times and they didn't need a superficially beautiful, unrealistically young or well-known cast (as much of network television feels they do these days in the drama category) to make an interesting series of stories. Although, it was one show that CBS never hung on to long enough to toy with the format or the time slot in a way where the show could at least try to better develop a following. Eventually, the same thing happened to 'Family Law.'

talktolaura26 The show was on such a high.It shouldn't have ended. I think that they could have done more with the ending. Sheryl Lee shouldn't have died in the last episode. Other then this ending the show was great. Congratulations to all the actors that starred in the short series.

altani I want to say that the screen writers haven't realized that people that watch TV series wish to see something more optimistic than the end they served us.It is truly unpsychological the fact that they killed on the last episode one of the characters and especially a newly in love one!Personally, I got very depressed though I don't regularly watch such shows, because of the psychological situation I was on the period the show was shown.I mean you would stop the show anyway, couldn't you just let it go?Unbelievably stupid.

barb-7 I just saw the priemer show that I taped last September. it was really good. I haven't had time to see it since. but what I saw of it it was great. I watched it instead of playing with the computer which is a good test.I like the characters. and all their differences. Hope the series last for awhile. I would recommend it.
