    Could swear the guy waiting for a heart told us he was from Ethiopia. Where did Sudan come from later in the show? And that was NO 28-week old preemie!! Sure looked like full term to me.

    Warmed over drivel about brave young docs saving the world. Only good thing is the hot, slouchy, anti authoritarian, female doctor.

    The cases are inventive, and the acting is low key. Entertainmentwise, the series is nothing special.

    Three Rivers is a masterful send-up of old medical TV show conventions, dating back to the '50s, with a parade of cliches so obviously and hilariously inane that you will laugh until your side aches.
  3. Three Rivers plays like a show that was put together in one made up of transplant advocates.
