We have all had our share of not-so-nice things to say about The L Word over the years. Our frustration mostly centered on the storyline (oh, Ilene) but for the most part, we all miss it, or at least some of its stars. I started watching the show a little late — late enough to not want to jump on the Shane McCutcheon bandwagon — but I could not help myself.
Now, I miss the skinny and scandalous Shane, and I’m not the only one.
In an interview with The Los Angeles Times, Katherine Moennig, now playing doctor on CBS’s Three Rivers, admitted to missing the role that made her every (Ok, almost every) lesbian’s dream. She seems to be missing her former make-out partners as well — big shock there.
Moennig said:
At this moment, I miss a lot about [Shane]. The beauty of that character was her unabashed way of viewing life.

Many Moonlight fans are still upset over the cancellation of CBS' Friday night vampire series. CBS is counting on viewers wanting more of the show's star, Alex O'Loughlin, and put him front and center in the new medical series, Three Rivers. So, will O'Loughlin's physician outlive his vampire character?
Three Rivers revolves around a team of elite surgeons who work in the high-pressure and emotional world of organ transplants. The leader is Dr. Andy Yablonski, (O'Loughlin) a workaholic with a quick wit.
His co-workers include rebellious Dr. Miranda Foster (Katherine Moennig), womanizing Dr. David Lee (Daniel Henney), inexperience coordinator Ryan Abbott (Christopher Hanke), dedicated head of surgery Dr. Sophia Jordan (Alfre Woodard), and Pam Acosta (Justina Machado), Andy's best friend.
Many have suspected that the drama was in trouble even before it got out of the starting gate. Amid some...

My name is Alynda and I am an organ donor. There, now everybody knows and we don't have to go through any confusion or sticky sitches in the hospital, Three Rivers-style. What did you think of the Rivers debut, the few of you who watched it? (If you missed it, by the way, you can catch it here.) I'm still trying to decide if I'm giving it too much leeway because star Alex O'Loughlin is in my imaginary-boyfriend stable (and we're pretty serious, with his having met my mom and all). But I'll try to be objective. Let's start...

"Three Rivers", a new medical drama from CBS is coming up with the next challenge for the elite team. Andy and his co-workers are trying to save an 18-year-old college student who suddenly passes out in front of her school. She is in need of a double lung transplant but the team runs into a road block that might not allow her to be eligible for a new set of lungs.
Alyssa Diaz guest stars as the college student in need of transplant, Christy. The episode "Ryan's First Day", which is slated to air on Sunday, October 11, was formerly known as "Tick Tock", the show's debut episode. The network however, decided to switch the episode with the one premiering on October 4, "Place of Life". Ryan in the title refers to Ryan Abbott, the inexperienced new transplant coordinator played by Christopher J. Hanke.

Chicago – “Three Rivers” takes its title from the Pittsburgh heart transplant hospital at which it is set but even the dull, “easy listening” name of the show should tell you something about the earnest, drab series debuting tonight on CBS. Generic, manipulative, and almost purposefully wasting the talented cast assembled, “Three Rivers” may satisfy viewers tired after a long weekend of football but only because it’s so safe and predictable - two words that never stopped a show, especially one on CBS, from becoming a hit.
Television Rating: 2.0/5.0
There is nothing overtly “wrong” with “Three Rivers”. The cast isn’t bad and the plot of the premiere is certainly about good people doing great things, but with such a glut of medical shows this year - “Nurse Jackie,” “HawthoRNe,” “Mercy,” “Trauma” - doing “nothing wrong” is the same as doing nothing at all.
Miranda (Katherine Moennig, left) and Sophia (Alfre Woodard,...

When is a new hairstyle not just a new hairstyle? When it’s the hairstyle for the most obsessed about former fictional lesbian hairstylist in all of the universe.
New promo shots of Kate Moennig were released with the artist formerly known as Shane is sporting long, lovely locks.
Kate’s new medical drama Three Rivers, about a team of elite surgeons who perform organ transplants and the patients they work with, has undergone several changes since its pilot.
Julia Ormond played Dr. Sophia Jordan, the head of surgery at Three Rivers Hospital, originally. But four-time Emmy winner Alfre Woodard has stepped into the role since the series was picked up. The first shots of her in the cast were also released.
Another noticeable change will be the doctors’ scrubs. In the pilot they were quite snug and form fitting. But for the series the clothing has become looser and more professional.

Premieres Sunday, October 4 (9:00 Et/Pt) on CBS
Not wanting to get left out of the medical drama fun, CBS is starting its own series set in a hospital. I'm talking (obviously) about Three Rivers. But Three Rivers isn't your typical fare. While most medical dramas deal with a wide menagerie of cases, Three Rivers has a more specific focus: organ transplants.
Now, I'm not an organ donor (though I did give a piano to the Salvation Army once), but the moral aspect of this could make the show one of the better new shows coming on this fall. If the show is as emotionally-driven as I think it is, then it might actually be good. It'll be nice to see a show more about the patients than the doctors.
And there's another reason why that'll be a good thing. Alex O'Loughlin will play lead surgeon Andy Yablonski (such an...

You know who is not looking very Shane today? Kate Moennig. The first cast promo shots for the former The L Word star’s new medical series, Three Rivers, were released recently. Can I just say, whoa.
Ok, before we can proceed we must discuss this image. First, I’m not sure Shane would approve of this haircut. Also, is it just me or did the marketing department find a “Femme-Up” tool in Photoshop and just go crazy? Though, I am happy to see Kate’s patented pout is still alive and well.
The show follows organ transplantation from three points of view: the doctors, the donors and the recipients. Kate plays Dr. Miranda Foster, a member of the elite surgical team who has a rebellious streak and fiery temper. She also happens to the daughter of the revered surgeon the medical wing is named after. I wonder how wardrobe...

Chicago – In a relatively shocking announcement as a part of fall schedule upfronts this week, CBS actually pulled the trigger on “Without a Trace,” a show that had reportedly gotten too expensive for the network. There were rumors that they may do the same with “Cold Case,” but that show will return with on-the-bubble shows “The New Adventures of Old Christine” and “Rules of Engagement” also being miraculously renewed and “Medium” being saved.
This Fall CBS adds the popular drama series Medium, starring Patricia Arquette, Fridays (9:00-10:00 Pm, Et/Pt), forming a hauntingly compatible two-hour block with Ghost Whisperer at 8:00 Pm.
Photo credit: Robert Voets/CBS CBS announced a number of interesting schedule changes, especially for a network that has been so successful over the last few years. They are moving two of their bigger shows - “The Big Bang Theory” and “The Mentalist” - and launching...

We didn't have to go too long without seeing Katherine Moennig on our television screens. The L Word actress is starring alongside Julia Ormond and Alex O'Laughlin in the new CBS series, Three Rivers.
The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that CBS has just ordered the series to start staffing up in preparation for debuting in the fall (or possibly midseason).
Julia Ormond
Three Rivers is a medical drama written by Carol Barbee, and described as being about "organ transplants seen through three points of view: the doctors, the donors and the recipients." Moennig plays Dr. Miranda Foster, "a surgical fellow with something to prove (the transplant wing is in her late father's name)" according to one review of the pilot script.
Autostraddle.com provides more details about Moennig's character from the pilot script:
