The pilot is usually the weakest and worst episode of a show. If that's the case here, this show should be interesting and compelling. I didn't figure out until after several episodes that the show was "based" on THAT Dr. Phil. Thank goodness they cast Michael Weatherly, someone with actual charisma and decent looks. The rest of the cast is an interesting mix without being blatant about including someone from each major minority (something current Hollywood could take a lesson in--subtlety.)
While some of the cases seem "Ripped from the Headlines," some seem original. It looks like this show may be worth watching--at least until someone finds a way to screw it up (but what are the chances of that happening?).
