Kate Moennig's 'Three Rivers' On Life Support

Kate Moennig and the rest of the cast of Three Rivers won't be scrubbing in regularly for now. CBS has yanked the transplant hospital drama from its Sunday night slot.

Beginning Dec. 6, the network will fill the Alex O'Loughlin led freshman medical drama's slot with an "unspecified crime drama," according to THR.

The network swapped Three Rivers' Sunday night 9 p.m. slot with Cold Case's 10 p.m. slot in mid-November.
