I am not saying they will win the lawsuit. However, if they pitched it to the estate as an ER spinoff if might have legal legs. Simply changing the name of the show and characters might not hold water in court. Other ER shows didn't pitch their shows as sequels. It hasn't been thrown out yet which makes me believe it could have legs. Who knows.
There you go again, not getting the point. It doesn't matter what it was pitched as. They most certainly did NOT just change the name of the show and characters. That is very simple to see.
What point am I not getting? The lawsuit was filed some time ago and not thrown out. So it might have legs. Plus, what information do you have about the original pitch verses what they did? I have not read any details that would allow that conclusion. Care to share? I can't find anything.
Ah, you're trying to discourse about the difference between the pitch (which we can't because nobody knows the actual pitch) and the show and not the difference between ER and this show. This is not ER in any way, shape, or form. As to what they pitched? Who knows what it was?
We will have to disagree. Other than the episode format it's a similar show to ER (including it's lead). That's also my point though. You can't draw any conclusions because we don't know the pitch.
I'm in complete agreement. Love what they're doing with the MCs but the new characters, outside of Robbie's temp replacement, aren't doing much for me. Still solid as all get out with high stakes and consequences, and I'm sure once the crazy really kicks off it'll be bananas good. Still appointment TV.
I agree, the two new med students just seem like caricatures to me, which is unfortunate. Even so, the show is still one of the best currently on television. All the leads are just fantastic.
And up until the last episode, they really did very little with Robbie’s foil Dr. AI. Now there’s a little more mystery to her, but I’m not sure i care.
They really half assed the ICE seen based on how good everything else in the show is.
It pisses me off in a really, really good way. Like, I'm screaming inside that we aren't getting more right now rather than pissed that they're going for cheap drama. Very well done.
What exactly did you want? I think they did a pretty good representation of what would happen in an ER if ICE brought someone in. What did you want Robby to do, go all Rambo and have a shoot out?
Just based on the standard of show it was more Grey’s Anatomy than The Pitt.
