A human being with even an ounce of self-awareness and other-concern would NOT foist herself onto others as a physician if he or she were as messed-up as this Catherine in Black's Box, and ABC shows its determined recklessness in airing this pilot. Catherine cannot even manage herself, her own care, her own life, so to place others in harms way by making any patient placements with her would be to risk malpractice! Catherine MD is an unappealing ripoff of Dr. House, lacking his brilliance or his offbeat brand of soulful coolness, and the way she dangles herself between two men is pathetic, not hotness, so who wants to watch that? The break-neck speed at which Catherine goes zigging from supposed illness to zagging just hours later to effective patient care is simply absurd. Who writes this drivel? It's as though the House writing team held a "bad-parody-of-House" competition and it veered off into this Black hole. ABC, heal thyself; CANCEL Black's Box. It's just bad TV. Five of five thumbs DOWN. A stinker.
