Presidio Med will be flooded with preemies tonight. Love to nit pick Hollywood! Friday at 8 EST on CBS.

Haha, I've seen that commercial a few times and I'm just not sure if I can actually watch it... I can watch ER and Maternity Ward and nitpick them, but I don't know as much about ER and OB as I do about preemies so I might be especially hard on it. I never even watched Presidio Med.

Though it did actually look like they used a couple of real preemies.

Good grief they showed commercials for it all night last night on CBS the song they used was driving me nuts I've heard it's a decent show, although I haven't seen it yet.

I have to admit, I'm intrigued. I'll have to check back here after watching it to see what "real experienced NICU nurses" think of it.

At this point I'm just a voyer!

Bleah. I tried to watch this show a few times and gave up because it was so unrealistic. Can't manage to sit through the whole hour, not even to drool at Oded Fehr! Painful waste of a very talented cast, in my opinion.

Let us know all the stuff you screamed at--I don't know nothing about preemies, so I'm sure I'd miss a lot of the errors (hey, maybe I could actually sit through this one!)

I decided to watch it. Ok, it's commercial. They've got a freakin 30 weeker on a cold CT table. WTF???????? No blanket, nothing. All the babies look completely fake and everyone of them has a full head of hair.

I'm not impressed so far.

Well, I totally messed up and forgot to set my VCR...but considering the reviews, I didn't miss much.

I was watching that new show Mr. Sterling. It's pretty good, to bad that is unrealistic as well.

I watched Presidio Med last night. I was intrigued. I admit a few tears when they lost the preemie. It was the first time that I had seen the show.

The show was ok. I thought the neonatologist/resident? seemed a little too cold to be working in the NICU. It was very obvious the babies simulator dolls, but get real do you think there are any NICU babies that are actors or actresses? They did an ok job of compiling the many events that go on in the NICU into one hour. I think we could have a TV series on the NICU :-)
