Just Say "No" to These 6 New Fall TV Shows

The hospital is a breeding ground for TV dramas, but only so many of them can become an ER or a Grey's Anatomy. CBS's new series isn't bad, but there's nothing particularly special about it, either. Code Black's hook is that it takes place in the most notoriously busy ER in the country, where calling "code black" — a term used when there simply aren't enough doctors to handle incoming cases — is daily protocol. Marcia Gay Harden is engaging as skilled Dr. Leanne Rorish, but she's not enough to save this show from being just another medical drama.

When it starts: Wednesday, Sept. 30, at 10 p.m. on CBS
