5 Shows That Aren't As Popular As They Could Be Because Of Their Names
A title can make or break a TV show. When scrolling through the interactive guide, a TV viewer may stop at a show they've never seen because the title seems interesting. Likewise, a viewer may skip right over a show they would have loved, because the title doesn't hit their target market. Here's a list of five shows that are missing out on viewers because of their name.
Quick side tangent: let's hope this theory doesn't also apply to blog posts as well, because let's face it the title of this post is a little long winded.

In Memoriam: TNT's 'Monday Mornings'
TNT has opted to check out of Chelsea General Hospital, cancelling Monday Mornings after just one season. It's the unfortunate demise of an outstanding television series - yet as we lament the bitter end, we can also reflect on the multitude of great things that emerged over the ten episodes that we got to spend with this memorable band of doctors.
Here's a not at all short list of reasons why Monday Mornings will be missed and ultimately, left a strong fingerprint on not just medical dramas, but the entirety of television.
1) The pedigree. It's not often that you get a production team to...

TNT Renews 'Dallas' For A Third Season
Just a few months after the death of Larry Hagman, TNT has renewed the hit drama "Dallas" for a third season. The network has ordered 15 additional episodes for next year.
Hagman starred as ruthless oil baron J.R. Ewing in the original incarnation of the series from 1978 to 1991 and was brought back for the 2012 revamp. The actor spent months battling cancer, but he refused to let his illness affect his career and continued working while he was undergoing treatment. His November death was written into the second season storyline.

5 Underappreciated TV Actors: Where Are They Now?

'Monday Mornings' Season Finale Recap: A Doctor on the Operating Table
We've reached the end of the first season of Monday Mornings, and the season finale does not disappoint.
As is becoming normal for this show, action begins in the ER, with Villanueva owning the place like a boss. He pages Sydney to help Michelle with a kid who is way too young to be having a heart attack, before moving on to a patient with chronic back pain. The more the guy talks, the more the Big Cat thinks he might be addicted to painkillers. When Villanueva confronts the patient with his belief, it does not go well, leading the disgruntled patient to approach Tina in the parking lot. Y...

How 'Monday Mornings' Changed My Perspective On Medicine
As TNT's Monday Mornings has its season finale tonight, it's abundantly clear that the show deserves a second season. It's the best new series on the air, sharply written and exceptionally acted. It's breathed new life into one of TV's most familiar genres. Most surprising of all, though, it's done something I never thought possible: caused me to look at the medical profession in a new light.
I have more experience with doctors than I would ever wish on anyone. My life began in a neonatal intensive care unit and then an operating room. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy, I grew up surrounded by...

'Monday Mornings' Recap: 'Wheels Within Wheels'
We're coming to the end of the beginning for Monday Mornings. Things that seem great turn out to be not so much, and things that seem bad end up being worse. It just goes to show you that medicine is most definitely not an easy nor predictable occupation.
The episode starts off with a bang, as Michelle nearly loses a patient only to make a breakthrough just before they're ready to pronounce her death. Elsewhere, Wilson and Hooten's next case is a judge who knows the Chelsea General chief of staff, and Park and Ridgeway's patient doesn't know where he is after having a seizure in the street...

'Monday Mornings' Recap: 'Truth Or Consequences'
Why does Monday Mornings have to be almost over? There are only two episodes left after tonight and there hasn't been a weak one yet. This week's chapter opens with a Random New Guy getting 311'ed for giving a patient a lethal dose of adrenaline. RNG, whose name is Stewart Delany and who is played by Jamie Bamber's Hornblower colleague Ioan Gruffudd, does a miserable job of defending himself and gets fired, much to the shock of everyone else in the room, except for maybe Park.
Speaking of Park, he's brushing up on his English when Wilson walks into his office. Park immediately susses out t...

'Monday Mornings' Recap: 'Communion'
Things are getting personal on Monday Mornings. The latest patient to come through the doors of Chelsea General is Villanueva's own son, Nick. "Who did this to you?" his father tearfully demands, but Nick is unresponsive. Almost the entire senior staff jumps into action, but Sydney kicks Villanueva out of the OR for being too close to the patient, and Hooten backs her decision. He watches every move as the two of them start operating. Tina, fulfilling her role as the motherly member of the staff, talks to Villanueva while he wonders aloud who stabbed his child. An angry Ving Rhames is never...
