told you so

I learned this week, with more than a little satisfaction, that CBS has canceled "3 lbs." just weeks after its premiere. The network's execs must have read the scathing pre-view in my blog.

But I can't really take all the credit. Maybe they realized — all on their own — that no one can do the cynical, misanthropic doctor thing better than "House." Stanley Tucci, while talented in his own right, is no Hugh Laurie. And the show seemed like such a copycat that, without Hugh Laurie, there was no way it could succeed.

It's so validating to be proven right. It really should happen more often.
