3 lbs.

I thought the pilot was beautifully done. The story of the young violinist's struggle to get her dexterity back was extremely touching and the episode was lavishly filmed. Stanley Tucci's character was well fleshed out and full of contradictions. I was eager to watch as Tucci and Feuerstein learned from each other and grew as characters. I will admit that subsequent episodes failed to pack the punch that the pilot did but I felt the show held a lot of promise. It really is a shame they are canceling it. The show was entertaining and educational. Simply put: fascinating. It's truly a shame they're canceling it in light of some of the other less interesting medical dramas that exist out there.

I think the real letdown of the show was the lack of diagnosis and the relative simplicity of the cases. Right off the bat Tucci knows what the problem is and since they don't show the actual surgeries a lot of the excitement and suspense is lost. All that was left was the drama of the character interplay and the Tucci's hallucinations, which sadly, it appears will never be explained. My attitude is, if you're going to make a show about the brain use cases that require diagnosis that would be unique to the brain rather than just difficult tumors. Nonetheless, I must admit I did enjoy watching it and am disappointed it is getting canceled.

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.

I loved 3 lbs. It was so interesting and full of entertainment. It was becoming one of my favorites. I am really disappointed that they are canceling the show! I admit at first I was a little upset because it reminds me so much of House but it started to grow on me! I love 3 lbs and I think if the network would of gave it more time on the air it would have been extremely successful! I learned a lot about the brain in the 3 episodes that I saw. And each week I was looking forward to the next show. I wish there were more shows out there like House and 3 lbs that you can actually learn something from. There are so few. So as it stands now House is still number one in my book but 3 lbs could have been tied with my number one!!!

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!!!!
