Last night, I watched the pilot episode of "Royal Pains." The show is about a disgraced NYC trauma surgeon who loses his job and his fiance and winds up in the Hamptons acting as a "concierge doctor" to the wealthy. The show was recently picked up for 12 additional episodes.

For those who have seen the pilot, do you think the show will last the entire 13 episodes? It's definitely a new concept, but there are no real A-list stars in the show and I would imagine the concept might get old fast.

Your thoughts?

I thought it was a terrible show. not funny, or dramatic, or much of anything.

i mostly watched it because they put it in between the season premiere of Burn Notice, which is awesome, but yeah. Blah.

I have to believe that a majority of executives at USA Network know this is a dud. If they truly don't think so, then maybe I'm in the wrong business.

I will admit to being entertained by it & I am a tough critic. It has potential. One episode doesn't tell much about the quality of the writing. I am willing to give it a shot.

Personally, I could care less who stars in a show. The fact that the lead has been in many shows that have failed miserably doesn't mean much. Those shows had awful writing.

I do hope that they keep it less glamourous. He is laid back & low key so if they keep the show on that tone I may stick around.

I will likely watch maybe 5 episodes & then decide if it is worth my time.

I'm also on the list of potential fans of this show. True, there are no cast members you can say, "Ohhh, he's in it!" about, but they are people you recognize slightly and spend the next hour racking your brain over.
Or was that just me?
I think I like the show, and I definitely plan on watching the next few episodes to make sure.
