"Heartbeat" - the TV show

Note to producers: If you want me to watch a new show, give it the time slot just following Jeopardy. That's how I started watching "Heartbeat," a show about a female heart surgeon. I gave it a good shot--three or four episodes, a lot for me--but I'm quitting.

Have you seen this show? What do you think of it? There are some heartwarming moments, and the star is very pretty to watch, but I find her irritating! Making up an emergency to get a police/fire escort to the hospital just so she can speed in her Porsche . . . always making up her own rules . . . that sort of thing. The character is based on a real person, but hoow did someone so silly become a cardio-thoracic surgeon? (I wouldn't want her performing surgery on me.)

And the ongoing "torn between two lovers" issue is too much. She has a fiancee who bends over backwards to be a good stepdad, and you know she's gonna break his heart.

So goodbye, Heartbeat. I'm going back to turning off the TV after Jeopardy.

My photo, taken in the 1940s, illustrates "Heartbeat" striking out. ;-)
