Avabelle May 5, 2020 Share May 5, 2020 With all that’s going happening at the moment I think I’d be shocked if this gets made. I’d love to see Sophia Bush get a starring vehicle after Chicago PD. 1 Link to comment
Avabelle June 10, 2020 Share June 10, 2020 Still some hope on the pilot. Edwin Hodge looks to have been cast but not sure who he will play. They’ve also extended the options until the end of September. https://deadline.com/2020/06/pilot-season-2020-cbs-tv-studios-pay-casts-extend-options-on-pilots-suspended-covid-19-1202954656/ Link to comment
Avabelle July 21, 2020 Share July 21, 2020 Although CBS haven’t officially announced what they’re doing with pilots Sophia Bush mentioned Good Sam is still a go during an Instagram speech she was doing regarding SAG AFtRA contract. She said she was looking forward to shooting it once they got the go ahead to go back safely. Link to comment
Avabelle January 9, 2021 Share January 9, 2021 Casting update: Skye P Marshall joins the cast.https://tvline.com/2021/01/08/sophia-bush-good-sam-pilot-cast-skye-p-marshall/ As reported by our sister site Deadline, Marshall will play Dr. Lex Trulie, an ambitious surgeon who shares a bond with Sam, as the only women in their department. That bond will be tested, though, when Sam replaces her father, to whom Lex is steadfastly loyal, as chief of surgery. Link to comment
Avabelle January 26, 2021 Share January 26, 2021 Another cast addition - Michael Stahl David. Stahl-David will play Caleb, a cocky resident with half the experience but twice the confidence of the other residents, all who outrank him. Wech executive produces with Urman and Joanna Klein via Sutton St. Productions and Davis. Stahl-David is known for his roles as Kenneth in The Deuce and Chris Feistl on Narcos and for his work in feature Cloverfield. He recently wrapped a recurring role on Fox drama series Almost Family. He’s repped by ICM Partners and Greenlight Management. https://deadline.com/2021/01/michael-stahl-david-joins-cbs-drama-pilot-good-sam-1234680690/ Link to comment
Lya167 May 20, 2021 Share May 20, 2021 Just found official trailer on youtube. I may be seeing things, but that hospital looks a lot like Seattle Grace to me (aka Greys Sloan). Link to comment
Avabelle May 20, 2021 Share May 20, 2021 I think it’s the big windows. The pilot trailer was a lot better than I expected. It looks decent. I’m disappointed to see it only got a mid season slot. Link to comment
Kromm May 22, 2021 Share May 22, 2021 Sophia is charismatic, but it takes a hell of a lot to get me committed to a medical drama, given how samey they all inevitably become. Link to comment
Avabelle May 22, 2021 Share May 22, 2021 True although the trailer has me more intrigued as then I thought it would. It looks like a decent cast. The main thing going against it is it’s on CBS and I just feel unless they perform excellently in the ratings they’ll be cut quick enough. Also that it’s mid season but that could also be because CBS seem to want to put all their focus into their franchise series. Link to comment

Who knows, Castle, Buffy, Chicago PD and the very own Grey's Anatomy, all started out as mid-season. Granted, they are from other networks, but here it's Sophia Bush and, well, that's it. I'd take a wild guess on the show hitting at least 3 seasons. On a personal note, I'm not usually drawn to medical dramas, my only ones are Grey's and House, but I know I'll be watching Good Sam just because of Sophia. Link to comment
Avabelle May 23, 2021 Share May 23, 2021 I think CBS seems to be the toughest network to survive on but as the show is owned by CBS (I think?) that should stand in its favour. I wonder when production will start.. Link to comment

Co-produced by CBS Studios, per the Internet. The bar is significantly lower for CBS owned shows. It will even start with it probably getting a better timeslot and being promoted a lot more. Tangible stuff too, like Sophia's face being on the sides of buses. Are they deliberately playing on the fact that "Good Sam" is common slang for hospitals named "Good Samaritan", you think? I know it's the character name too... What's the hospital called in this? Edit - Lakeshore Sentinel Hospital, per CBS. What a wasted opportunity. Good Samiritan is SUCH a common hospital name. I'm supposing it was to avoid legal entanglements though... Edited May 23, 2021 by Kromm Link to comment

Also if it doesn’t take off the way they want they can always send it to Paramount+ or CW where it might find a better audience. I think Good Sam is definitely a play on Good Samaritan as I assume Sam is always putting everyone else before herself. Link to comment
Avabelle May 27, 2021 Share May 27, 2021 Anyone know when filming or production might start? I assumed July but as it's midseason I'm not sure. Link to comment
Avabelle August 11, 2021 Share August 11, 2021 I was listening to the Drama Queens podcast and Sophia mentioned that she is due out to Toronto in October to start filming. In other news Sophia Bush got engaged to Grant Hughes. This will Hopefully break the dating of the costars streak. 1 Link to comment

Avabelle December 10, 2021 Share December 10, 2021 The trailer is really good. The only thing going against this show is it being on CBS as I don’t think they’re as patient with lower ratings and the fact that there’s a lot of medical dramas out there at the moment. I really hope it takes off Link to comment
Avabelle December 31, 2021 Share December 31, 2021 Initial review from Hollywood reporter is decent. It’s described as If House has a daughter. Link to comment
Avabelle January 26, 2022 Share January 26, 2022 Between getting Hilarie burton and Joy Lens to guest star as well as having the cast and crew on her podcast and all the various social media snaps I really feel like they’ve done all they can to promote this show. Its a pity it was such a dud as the cast and crew seem nice. Link to comment
