    Body of Proof

    This starts tonight. I'm super excited about it. It stars Dana Delaney as an ex-neuro surgeon who had to quit doing surgery due to an injury. She becomes an ME who uses her medical experience to help solve crimes. I'm sure there's a better explanation of the show out there. I'm just paraphrasing it. (and probably not doing it justice)

    And it's up against The Good Wife - I'll have to pass on it and see if it has staying power before I consider even taping it.

    I love Dana Delaney, am so glad she is doing something different, and not the "other" show that was NOT my favorite!

    I hope this show is well written and will have some quality acting. I have high hopes.

    I'll be watching. I never got in to The Good Wife, but I've been looking forward to this one. The last show I remember that had a medical examiner as the lead role was Quincy, and I loved that. I hope only that they don't go overboard on the soap opera aspect with her ex-husband and daughter.

    Hurray for CBS early prime time! The Good Wife airs at 9 pm here, so I don't have to choose OR watch one of them later. The nice thing about TGW is that CBS gets the episodes up on their site really quickly - usually later the same night they air.

    I'm really excited about this show. China Beach is one of my all-time favorite shows and much of that is due to Dana Delaney. I think she's fabulous! I still can't believe she's 55! Other actresses in Hollywood should take note. If she's had any work done, it's REALLY good work.

    I watched the pilot episode tonight and I'm just not sure. I don't hate it, but I also wasn't blown away by it. There were some great moments, but there were some moments that really annoyed me. The parts that irritated me the most was some of the attitude that Dana's character gave off. But the moments with her daughter were really sweet.

    Well, apparently DD's personality becomes sweeter and less House like in future episodes. Just read a review here which was lamenting that change.

    Funny that Sam Robards guested on this show and on The Good Wife tonight!

    Re: Body of Proof

    I wish I had that staggered air time like you do, Crit! I chose this show tonight and six minutes into it I actively disliked it. I'll give it a whole episode, but I'm dubious.

    I really like Dana Delaney so I find it disappointing.

    Re: Body of Proof

    I actually enjoyed it. I love Dana Delaney, so I watched it for her. Most shows don't hit it out of the park with the pilot, so I expect the show to get better. Hopefully, DWTS is giving it enough of a ratings boost to keep it on the air until it hits its stride.

    Did I think it was great? No, but it has potential. I like all of the actors and I like the premise. I was happy to see Jeri Ryan and Jeffrey Nordling as well. I always loved him in Once and Again.
