Unveiling Jeffrey Lieber: The Untold Secrets Behind His Masterful Storytelling
Jeff: Yes, yes. It came out of a blind deal I was doing with Bruckheimer, JBTV, who I love endlessly. When it started it wasn’t a show that was set in Miami and it wasn’t a show that was medical, so the fact that it became that is pretty funny. But that was a show that came out of our poking around and finding that there were essentially five trauma‑only facilities in the country, that were institutions that did nothing other than trauma care. And so what was really interesting to me was this concept of, how do you live your life when every day is spent receiving people who are really dying as they walk in? So we developed a pitch and took it out and sold it to CBS, and it was on the air for 13 episodes in 2006, 2007? I don’t remember now.
