Howdy from Pasadena!
I'm here covering the Winter TCA tour, and the first bit of news has already come up. During her executive session, CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler was asked by the throng of reporters here if the Alex O'Laughlin medical drama Three Rivers was cancelled.
Her response?
"You know what? Yes."
She went on to say that she didn't want to beat around the bush on it; the show just took longer to develop than they hoped.
She was heartened by the stories she heard from transplant patients who appreciated the show's message, but that wasn't enough to save the show.
In the reporter scrum after her press conference, Tassler told me that she didn't anticipate as many angry letters from O'Laughlin fans as she got after she cancelled Moonlight, but judging from some of the notes we got here, I doubt that.
