CBS pulled the plug on the medical drama that focused on organ donor doctors and starred The L Word's Moennig and Alex O'Loughlin. NBC president Nina Tassler confirmed the show has been canceled.

Kate Moennig's fledgling show Three Rivers has officially flat-lined. CBS pulled the plug on the medical drama that focused on organ donor doctors and starred The L Word's Moennig and Alex O'Loughlin, according to James Hibberd at The Hollywood Reporter.
"We've all known each other long enough to know that when something is on 'hiatus,' it's code for something else. Eight lives were saved because of organ donation awareness of that show," CBS president Nina Tassler said.
Beginning Dec. 6, the network pulled the show from its regular slot. Prior to that the network swapped Three Rivers' Sunday night 9 p.m. slot with Cold Case's 10 p.m. slot in mid-November.
Rivers had been a virtual ratings bomb from the beginning, ranking 41st on network television in early November with 7.9 million viewers.
Moennig had a small part in the Robert DeNiro led holiday film Everybody's Fine, but according to imdb she's got nothing else in the pike.
Is it time to petition Ilene Chaiken for that L Word movie?
