"Prime Suspect," NBC
Average rating in the 18-49 demo: 1.6
"Prime Suspect" is the prime suspect. Most TV experts saw promise in Maria Bello as a scrappy outsider who battles discrimination and distrust in the NYPD. But you saw nothing. The show was gunned down by CBS's "The Mentalist" and ABC's "Private Practice," and continues to slip.
I didn't watch the show, but I don't get how the same themes keep getting recycled and inevitably the show gets canceled. Wow...a female cop who is a scrappy outsider battling discrimination in the NYPD? Just exactly how many females are there in the work force, and how much corruption is within the NYPD?
Cops, doctors, lawyers, military people. Sometimes, the lawyers are in the military. Sometimes, the doctors have relationships with the lawyers. Sometimes, the cops and lawyers work together. Its retarded.
God's honest truth...after suffering through yet another dreadful episode of Gray's Anatomy (yes, its still on), I thought the only way to have any more potential plotlines would be to put the Gray's Anatomy doctors in the military and have them dress army wounds and pretend to be MASH. Then the next day I heard about a new show...Combat Hospital!
