Another great performance by Kathy Bates

I really enjoyed this quirky show. I hope that it stays on the air, Kathy Bates is such a great actress. I really enjoyed the hunky Robin Thomas as her husband too. Thanks for such a great show!!

Parts of the show were a bit predictable, but being in the medical field myself, I could relate to some of the story lines.

We need more shows on TV like this one, she was a bit sarcastic and very realistic to the part.

The man that plays her mentor as an EMT was a very good actor also, I don't know his name off-hand, but he was good.

Please keep this show on, since my favorite Judging Amy has been cancelled, I have been looking for a new show to follow!!
