"Miami Medical," the new CBS drama that premiers on friday, april 2nd, is based on Jackson's Ryder Trauma Center. To our dismay, the first episode isn't about a python attack victim dying on the table due to major budget cuts. If it were truly based on RTC, there wouldn't even be a cast. Zing!

But what the show and its inspiration do have in common is their dyer need for CPR.

"Miami Medical," which, a-la "CSI: Miami," isn't really shot here, is making TV critics everywhere throw up in their mouth a little bit with their nauseatingly stereotyped characters, overdramatic dialogue and ridiculous plot lines.

"'Miami Medical' is just one more frenetic mess of doctors, panic and swooshing-whooshing-slicey-dicey stuff," the Washington Post's Hank Stuever ripped. "From aerial shots to scalpels to bleating EKG monitors. Attractive doctors provide urgent trauma care to really, really injured tan people in sunny, sunny Florida."

Indeed, the first episode involves an attractive couple on vacation when a yogurt craving turns into carnage. But they have nothing to worry about, as the ***erjack Benetton ad medical team is ready to save some lives.
