    I totally agree with Annie from N.Mexico...what is wrong at CBS, when they don't give a show of this caliber a chance???? I will say that an earlier time slot, say 9:00pm would be a better choice, as many people I've spoken to are in my age group (50+). This is a huge audience for intelligent writing with heart. I personally know someone in my own family who related to the "Heart Stopping" episode and he appreciated the exploration of that subject. This is a new field being explored in a medical show...not to mention Stanley Tucci's beautiful and multi-layered performance, that alone worth watching, along with newer talent. Let's let CBS know that they made a mistake!!!!

    WHAT Was CBS thinking by canceling this excellent show? hope they bring it back and fast! the characters are interesting, the situations are very educational and keep your attention. a lot of people out there have brain tumors and other brain injuries, it's something that is very common, and as show this fun and interesting and educational all at once is a rarity. of all the MD shows on the TV today, this breath of fresh air is really wonderful. i sure hope everyone who has enjoyed this short lived show will write CBS and write here and see if it can't come back. just too much junk out there, and we sure were excited that there was a new show.

    This TV show had me hooked from the series premiere. Its smart writing and excellent acting speaks to both neuroscience and philosophy.It was a pleasure watching the only three episodes aired because each time I would walk away at the end and think of the philosophical issues brought up as well as remember the medical terms used. I'm once again hooked on psychology and I have 3Lbs to thank. Stanley Tucci shines in his portrayal of Dr. Hanson. The writers cleverly gauged the audience's reception to an exaggerated arrogance of the character and toned it down some notches in the ensuing episodes to reflect a little bit of humanity while still preserving his "cold science" attitude. I already miss the prospect of seeing this character grow and develop throughout a season.Mark Feuerstein's Dr. Jonathan Singer is an immediately likable character who fits the part to a tee. He's a good counter balance to Dr.Hanson which keeps their professional chemistry interesting. Indira Varma as Dr. Adrianne Holland is exquisite. This Swedish-Indian beauty has finally been given the chance to shine and she delivered. Her British charm speckled with Indian beauty creates the perfect sexual ambiance that I suspect would eventually capture Dr. Singer if the series were allowed to continue. 3lbs was cancelled due to poor ratings, however many successful series begin slowly. Hopefully this is only a hiatus and 3lbs is allowed to make a return and given a chance to build an audience.The writing, storyline, plot and acting is brilliant and has the potential to be a hit series. I'm crossing my fingers that it is either recognized by CBS as such or picked up by another media outlet in the very near future.

    I love it. Why are they canceling it? The characters are strong and unique. The story lines are both inside and outside the box or the norm. This is not a dry uninteresting hospital show. There are characters you like and those who you do not. But even the bad or cold characters show some patient caring, not like Dr. House on House. There is even some time spent giving the characters a social life. This however does not take away from the theme of the show, brain study and surgery. The pace of the show is fast and interesting. Along with being entertained by the show, I have also learned interesting facts about brain.
