A BELATED, AFTER THE END OF THE TELEVISION SEASON RETURN OF, "THREE RIVERS"..........

There was a time only two decades and more ago, when Saturday nights prime time was all but golden programming. "Your Show Of Shows, Lawrence Welk, Andy Williams, Hollywood Palace, All In The Family, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, the Golden Girls, and Carol Burnett", were among the shows that provided enjoyable quality entertainment on Saturday nights. In recent years the major networks have not provided fresh programming, but reprised already aired shows from earlier in the week. Last fall CBS-TV aired nine episodes of a first season transplant drama, "Three Rivers", on Sunday nights, before pulling it off the schedule, due to low ratings against Football and Desperate Housewives. Four of the initial order of thirteen episodes were left unaired, until now. Having found it excelent and accurate, I have advocated for it and officially protested the premature "Three Rivers", cancellation . CBS is burning off the final four episodes on the summer schedule. But where have they placed its return, except in the wasteland that is currently Saturday night television. With reruns abounding, there is little chance it will find more of an audience. Besides being cancelled, the cast member, Alex O'Loughlin, has been recast to star in the role of Steve McGarrett, in the 2010 version of the classic television series, "Hawaii Five-O", this Fall. Once again, I encourage you to watch the final episodes of,"Three Rivers", and discover for yourselves why I think and feel so strongly about its merits..........Advocating For Greater Transplant Awareness, Fr.
