I started to post this news last night, but I just didn’t have the heart to, and a small part of me still hoped it wouldn’t be true. Then, I kept reading conflicting stories: “Three Rivers pulled immediately from Sunday night lineup”; “Three Rivers to air in later time slot”; “Three Rivers to finish out season”; and similar news items.
While CBS has not officially announced a cancellation, and at this point, they are planning on airing all of the remaining episodes, the writing is definitely on the wall. I had a lot of hope for this show, but I have to be honest here, and say that I was really pulling more for Alex O’Loughlin than the show, itself. I’m not as sad and shocked about losing this show nearly as much as with Moonlight. After a couple of episodes of Three Rivers, I just couldn’t follow it anymore. I just lost interest. I got the message of organ donor awareness in the pilot episode. The fact that nothing changed to hold my interest is, I think, a common complaint among those I know who gave Three Rivers a try.
I feel really bad because I know that Alex threw is whole heart into this show, and really believed in it. To be fair, I think CBS did too. As I said before, there have been a few different stories floating around out there, beginning with THR‘s from yesterday. But Alex’s own words nailed it down, even if CBS hasn’t given the official word.
A lot of you probably already know this, because you guys know what’s happening in my life before I do, but today I was informed that Three Rivers would soon draw to an end. (Continue reading.)
Some good did come out of this show, besides the awareness that donating organs is not a scary thing. Alex is an Ambassador and official spokesperson for Donate Life America. He will give 110% to this organization, just like he does with any acting job he does, and that can never be bad. I’m looking forward to Alex’s next acting project, and I hope we won’t have to wait too long.
Bless his heart, Alex does give his all to every project. I’m sorry to see this one go by the wayside, but have to agree – I got the point in the pilot and haven’t been able to stay interested. Here’s hoping his next project really takes advantage of Alex’s talent and heart.
CBS aired the wrong episode for the pilot. I watched all 8 shows, and it just got better and better each week till I couldn’t wait for the next show. Then CBS does it to me again.
If CBS had aired the right episode as the premiere and had put it on as a new show on a night when it wasn’t pushed so late by football on CBS – and up against football on NBC, the World Seried, the AMAs – it was always something. I feel so bad for Alex – he truly is passionate about all that he does, and he studied and worked so hard for this show and Donate Life. His hard work showed. I agree with what you said about his following thru with Donate Life – I know that he will. I just hope that Alex gets away from CBS and is given the chance to be the true star that he is.
