TV commentary:

Royal Pains- Wait, what in the world was the accent of the new hospital administator supposed to be. Is she Southern? She did say something about her momma's biscuits. If it is Southern there's something off about it. Like she's trying to do a bad Scarlett O'Hara impression. But wow, the whole pregnancy thing really has Divya tweaked if she's biting poor Paige's head off all, "nothing bad ever happens to you, Miss Perfect!" She's so cute and bright eyed, how can you ever be mean to her? But apparently Divya had a horse-riding accident when she was a kid and she was told she would prolly never have kids. So at first she thought it was a pleasant surprise, but then it looks like there's complications and she might not actually be able to complete the pregnancy at all.

But ha, Jeremiah decides to go on the trip for Hankmed to continue his ridiculous avoidance of Divya, not knowing she was also going trying to get some away time to contemplate her pregnancy.

And its good to see Paige's instincts were right, though you would have thought she would at least acknowledge what a two-face that one neighbor bitch was being, all, "Thank you for including me in your party!" in a tone that sounded like she was going to cut their throats.

So Boris and that Russian guy are half-brothers?! Not sure why the show needs all these twists and turns though.

Necessary Roughness- Oh weird, I guess as part of the retooling, they ditch Dani's family and Riley from BtVS, but Dani's new assistant is apparently a new cast member? I guess, when in doubt, add a young blond chick.

Their other hospital is in Savannah. I almost never hear that accent from someone who isn't old, but it is an accent people have in that area. See wikipedia's map of rhotic and non-rhotic accents, the pink areas are places where people drop r's (panda and pander sound the same), and that's the main difference, to my ear, between regular southern and Scarlett O'Hara southern.
