A friend of mine saw this show and said, "Rescue Me called, they want their storyline back." And while the preceding statement may be undeniably true, that still doesn't change the fact that "Saved" is first-rate, new-age, uber-edgy television drama at its finest. This show is a truly gripping; I love the idea of mixing a fast-paced medical drama with the gritty allure of the seedy poker underworld. There have been way too many "Doctor" shows on T.V. the past few years to just try and come out with a new "Doctor-show on wheels" -- ("I know, this time we'll set in an ambulance!") Thus, I truly believe that adding the poker-thing was a stroke of pure genius. And as hot as poker is right now, don't even try to stop this one! ESPN could put a live broadcast of Phil Hellmuth, "Jesus" Ferguson or Johnny Chan taking a schit on television and I guarantee you it would draw top ratings! Mark my words, ya'll, this one will be around for a while; right along with "House" and "Rescue Me." You heard it here first.
