Medium and 3 Lbs. Set November Premieres
NBC is recruiting Medium to crack the case in what has been a dead time period so far this season, while CBS hopes to do the same with the new drama 3 Lbs.
Beginning on Wednesday, November 15, Medium will begin its third season in the 10 p.m. ET slot formerly occupied by the heavily-touted freshman drama Kidnapped. After three disappointing airings, Kidnapped was shipped off to the programming Gulag of Saturday nights.
Although its figures dipped somewhat in its second season, Medium averaged 11.1 million viewers last year, airing on Monday night. The show stars Emmy winner Patricia Arquette as a woman whose connection to the deceased helps her solve crimes.
"We have been waiting for the right moment to bring back this excellent, chilling drama to our lineup and we know this will make the show's legion of devoted fans very happy," says NBC Entertainment President Kevin Reilly. "Medium is an especially creative show, led by the vision of executive producer-creator Glenn Gordon Caron, that is ready to hit the ground running with its new season of thrilling episodes."
In addition, CBS has set a premiere date for 3 Lbs., which will be rushed into the Tuesday, 10 p.m. slot after the premature cancellation of Smith. The show, which features Stanley Tucci as plays an unpredictable doctor mentoring a potentially brilliant young brain surgeon (Mark Feurstein), will kick off on Tuesday, November 14.
