Just finished watching the pilot for this expensive hour-long drama on FOX. TV Medical examiners have come a long way since Quincy and this show is proof positive of that. Morris Chestnut lights up the screen as Dr. Beaumont Rosewood, a cocky but brilliant medical examiner with his own health issues who finds himself hooked up with a widowed police detective (Jaina Lee Ortiz) on a murder case that came from Rosewood's mother (Lorraine Toussaint). The show is great to look at, as are the stars and there is definitely a viable chemistry between the two, but I hope the writers don't make the mistake of hooking up these two romantically because it will be the death of the show, but if they keep it strictly business between the leads, beef up the roles of Toussaint and Gabrielle Dennis as Rosewood's lesbian sister/assistant, we might have something here.

Watched episode two and I have to say I really enjoy the vulnerability afforded the title character by giving him his own health issues and not just because doctors make the worst patients. It makes this character wonderfully human and makes it easier to accept his outer cockiness. Morris Chestnut has been banging around in this business for a long time and I would love to see this show succeed.

Just finished episode 4 and maybe the producers have been reading my thread because my request that Lorraine Toussaint's role be beefed up seems to be happening...her character is going to be working for Rosewood part time now, Loving this.

Just finished episode 7 and loved the appearance of Vondie Curtis-Hall as Rosey's father. Unfortunately, this appears to be a single appearance but I hope they bring the character back, this father and son have a lot of baggage that needs to be dealt with.

Just finished episode 20 and have noticed that there have been a lot of new characters needed to this show that are so not necessary...we understand they don't want to hook up Rosey and Via too quickly but there are ways to keep them apart other than adding dull new characters who really don't add anything to the show...and I'm really not crazy about Sam Huntington's character trying to come between Pippy and Tara.

I let this show slip through the cracks of my TV viewing schedule for awhile but I just watched episode 10 of Season 2 and it was AWESOME!!!
