So, is this what is going to happen every week? Te head doctor will tell Carol what to do, she'll ignore her and in the end, we'll find out that she was right. This episode had basically the same plot as the first episode. We expect better from Patricia Heaton.

I completely agree with the previous reviewer - this episode is very much a carbon copy of the first episode, albeit with more Ashley Tisdale (one of the few saving graces here).
For a show to be repeating itself in only it's second episode isn't a good sign either.
Don't get me wrong, it's likeable enough, when she stays on the right side of being annoying Patricia Heaton holds things together well, but after nine years a piece on 'Raymond' and 'The Middle' did she really think this was great writing?!
The problem for me is that the supporting characters all feel like the standard sitcom types we've seen a thousand times before (the ladies man, the tough talking woman - who no doubt we'll find in time has a softer side - the idiot), and done an awful lot better too.
It will be interesting to see where this show goes with the remaining sixteen episodes, but based on the two I've seen so far I'm not overly surprised that this didn't run beyond a single year.
