CBS’ answer to Fox’s mean doctor drama “House,” premieres tonight in the competitive 10 p.m. time slot against NBC’s “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.” Titled “3 lbs.,” we presume because that is the weight of the average human brain, the show features two neurosurgeons at odds with each other’s approaches. The elder, brilliant-but-cold Dr. Doug Hanson is played by Stanley Tucci, and his young, promising protege-with-a-heart is played by Mark Feurstein. They duke it out against each other, and against “SVU,” in hopes of better success than their predecessor, the short-lived drama “Smith.”
