I am just wondering-anyone watch the show? It's on USA network with Christine Ebersole. What do you guys think of the show?

"Hank is a rising star in the New York City medical community, until he loses everything fighting for the life of a patient. With his career stalled and his personal life in shambles, Hank is in need of a new beginning. That's where his younger brother Evan (Paulo Costanzo) steps in. Fed up with Hank's personal pity-party, he convinces Hank to join him on a last-minute trip to the Hamptons for Memorial Day weekend. When the brothers crash a party at the home of a Hamptons billionaire and a guest falls critically ill, Hank saves the day. His dramatic medical rescue draws attention from the crowd, and soon Hank's phone starts ringing off the hook with patients demanding house calls.

Inadvertently, Hank has become the hot new "concierge doctor" in town.

Though Hank is initially reluctant to embrace this new career, with encouragement from Evan and an ambitious young woman who volunteers to be his physician assistant he decides to stay in town for the summer. Once again solving medical crises and helping those in need, Hank is back to doing what he does best. And now he's reinvented himself as the Hamptons' hottest new doctor-in-demand."

I watched the pilot and really enjoyed it. Christine Ebersole cracked me up. I can't remember the actors name who plays the doctor, but I've always had a pseudo crush on him. He's great at playing the lovable yet over-looked romantic.

Mark Fuegalhousen or something like that. I remember him from his days on Caroline in the city.

I've seen the first three episodes and have really enjoyed them.

I really liked the pilot, but then by the next week I forgot about it. I need to get caught up again. I do like the guy that plays Hank's brother though.

I think it so far. I used to live out near there and they have captured the atmosphere and attitude quite well.
