Hollywood Reporter Barry Garron

Sound more than a little like FX's "Rescue Me"? Absolutely.

Entertainment Weekly Gillian Flynn

Saved's ADD pace prevents any true emotion. [23 Jun 2006, p.61]

People Weekly Tom Gliatto

Scott's performance is totally believable, but that doesn't mean you want to ride shotgun with him in such a tired vehicle. [19 Jun 2006, p.37]

New York Daily News Richard Huff

"Saved" is a show with a good cast, interesting concept and a fast-paced, stylized approach that never quite reaches its potential.

Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman

It's a fairly entertaining show right out of the gate, though it's distractingly busy with a gimmick: Poorly edited flashbacks pop up suddenly to show what victims were doing in the moments before they suffered health problems. This could be done well, but it's not now.

Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert

[Scott's] vital, star-making turn in "Saved" comes as a surprise, as it makes his earlier work seem muted by comparison.

Slate Troy Patterson

[Scott's] playfulness is essential to making this show a pleasurable trifle instead of a sodden one.

Philadelphia Inquirer Jonathan Storm

So what if it's as superficial as a flesh wound? There's plenty of style.

The New York Times Alessandra Stanley

Wyatt's story falls together a little too neatly.

USA Today Robert Bianco

The opening crises just feel phony and forced -- as does everything else, from the humor to the drama to the bleached-out colors.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Melanie McFarland

In spite of [Scott's] fine performance, though, nothing elevates this drama about people on the verge of death and disaster into something other than ordinary.

Detroit Free Press Mike Duffy

"Saved" is a sometimes entertaining, often predictable trauma drama.

Los Angeles Times Robert Lloyd

Given that it wants to seem edgy and quirky, "Saved" is remarkably rich in cliché... Still, it's no worse than average and has Tom Everett Scott in it, which is a nice thing for TV viewers.

Orlando Sentinel Hal Boedeker

A flashy but derivative medical drama.

Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan

Cliches are cliches, no matter what channel you're watching.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen

It's not atrocious, just sort of bland -- the kind of show we've watched a million times before.

San Jose Mercury News Charlie McCollum

It tries to be edgy but misses by a mile.

Variety Brian Lowry

Proving it's possible to construct an entire series out of strung-together medical-show cliches, "Saved" races along a too-familiar path littered with "ER"-style crises.

You left us stranded with them in as wreck, please get them on the air.

Shawn M. gave it a10:
There can be no good reason not to bring this show back. It was an instant classic, and if it got overshadowed by "reality" TV, then I thank God I got to see the few episodes that aired when it did. Oh, well, at least there's "House". BTW, "Rescue Me" does not hold a candle to "Saved".

Darrall S. gave it a10:
I loved it and would like it to come back. I am a paramedic and took pride in the show.

Lisa H gave it a10:
One of the best shows I've ever seen. Great story lines. Great actors. Whey on earth was it ever taken off the air?? Bring it back!!

Rob P gave it a10:
Best Show on TNT,don't cancel it.

Jason H gave it a10:
Bring this show back! This is the best most realistic show. Give it another chance and advertise it on the radio to get ratings up. All it takes is one show to watch and your hooked.

Claire B gave it a10:
Do not cancel Saved!!!! It's the best show in the world, I love it so much! If you cancel it I will be very upset and have nothing to do on Monday nights!
