No, it's not exactly "House." But it isn't like any other show, either, with its mad mix of moral dilemmas, medical crises, family ties, double-life-living and, y'know, rubouts 'n' stuff.

Despite the frantic and at times clunky initial execution, there are times when The Mob Doctor shows signs of transcending the typical doc-with-something-extra medical procedural.

Love the show especially with the huge twist. keep it coming I want to know what happens next! Sure the writing might be cliche but come one, how complicated do you want the show? if its too complicated then ppl will complain about that too. the idea is awesome and now that grace has opened up to the nurse i want to know the next move!!!

With all the reality shows and I must say very poor choices for NBC, I have enjoyed the show The Mob Doctor. The story kept continuing which I enjoyed. But as far as I was told my view at 66 really doesn't count anymore, the networks are trying to get the 25 year to 45 year old mainly for the commercials That's who really pays the actors.

At its heart, The Mob Doctor feels more like a by-the-numbers CBS procedural than an "edgy" Fox drama.

The pilot is so packed with generic scenes of medical crises and mob muscle-flexing that it feels as if the creators went to a buffet of past series and desperately piled everything they could reach onto the mob doc's plate.

In Fox's new series, The Mob Doctor, trying to reinvent the wheel has led to a truly flat idea.

Fox's preposterous organized crime/medical show combo platter The Mob Doctor manages to be silly and sappy.

It's never good news when you start to watch a new show and can't get past quibbling with the whole concept.

This show has steadily improved, with a gutsy central character and a bunch of very human supporting ones--except for the mob boss, who is absolutely splendid. Writing is getting better too. I hope Fox will keep the writers' toes to the fire, because this is really fun to watch.

Like many others I too desperately wanted to like this show. Simply put, I believe that the stellar cast has been plagued with bad writing. Its just too cliche and at times unbelievable... great acting, bad stories.

The decent cast deserve a better-written vehicle than this. Here's a tip from the show-it-don't-say-it file: find a way to make your main character plucky without sticking it in the dialogue. The concept probably could have worked, but I don't see this getting renewed.
