Off the Map S01E01 Saved by the Great White Hope HDTV XviD-FQM

i'm hoping that the name of this episode refers to something ironic within the show?

nope, the writers fully embraced the notion that all an indigenous people need is a little help from
white people.....lol


edit: oh, and fyi, if you're into grey's and private practice, you can probably just stomach this
show....
horny, young, pretty doctors poking each-other at inappropriate times in a jungle setting....oh, and
there will probably be some hospital-ly type stuff thrown in there, but it will probably be way over
the top and technically inaccurate.

can't wait for the next episode......

beautifully said milfordcubicle, you just said everything that needed or could be said, and with
some humor.

thanks! i'll be here all week...

don't forget to tip your bartenders and waitstaff...

in fairness to the show, the title phrase is spoken sarcastically just a few minutes in, by one of the
more-experienced doctors upon meeting one of the new arrivals, who can't even pronounce her
name properly. "oh, goodie, another american. saved by the great white hope!" so yeah, i think
someone was aware of the irony there.

@ryingst we know, we saw it, but one joke doesn't hide that the whole premise and rest of the show
takes the concept all too serious.

thanks, good to know... i wasn't enthused enough by the show's general description so as to actually
watch it and see for myself. but seeing the title got me thinking about the last time it was widely heard, in
which it was used rather cluelessly (as spoken by kansas rep. lynn jenkins at the start of the 2010
elections season).

why are there 2 different releases of episode 1?

@orpe: *you* saw it, great. the original poster didn't. that's who i was providing an answer for -
an answer to the question that was actually asked.
