BY JAY BOBBIN She's not a doctor; she just plays one on television. But in real life, she has the "role" of Meryl Streep's eldest daughter. Mamie Gummer depicted the world of medicine last year in ABC's "Off the Map," and she takes an offbeat slant on it again as The CW premieres the seriocomic "Emily Owens, M.D." Tuesday, Oct. 16. Gummer's title character, a recent medical-school graduate, is alarmed that the themes of her insecurity-ridden youth apparently are repeating themselves at the Denver hospital that employs her ... along with her former crush (Justin Hartley, "Smallville") and an old enemy (Aja Naomi King). "I'm getting a lot of questions like, 'What was high school like for you?' " Gummer muses. "I've kind of blocked it out, but a good friend affectionately reminded me that yes, I was a dork. I was not a cool kid in high school." The fictional Emily certainly isn't cool, either, which is why Gummer finds her endearing. "She's a human being," Gummer says. "She kind of trips and falls down, but she gets back up, and you want the best for her. It's a lot of fun to have license to slip up, and it's funny because she is so together in some areas of her life. She's really good at her job, and that's really clear. It's just all the other stuff where she falters a bit." Formerly a producer on such series as "Gilmore Girls" and "90210," Jennie Snyder Urman, the Mamie Gummer stars in "Emily Owens, M.D.," premiering Tuesday on The CW. creator and executive producer of "Emily Owens, M.D.," explains the new show's concept came from a familiar source. "My college roommate is a doctor," she reports, "and it was always just so bizarre to me that I would go over to her house, and we would be talking about boys and all this goofy stuff ... then she put on what seemed to me like a costume, but she said it was her lab coat. "People were asking her opinions, and she knew what she was talking about, so we were interested in that bizarre merging of somebody whose life is not quite together yet, but such an authority. And she was sort of telling me how a lot of high-school stereotypes are still present in the hospital." 1:00 p.m. (CSNBA) 49ers Total Access The San Francisco 49ers weekly magazine show. 3:00 p.m. (ESPN2) NFL32 (Live) (HD) (ESPN) NFL Live (Live) (HD) 3:30 p.m. (ESPN) Monday Night Count- down With host Chris Berman and analysts Mike Ditka, Tom Jackson, Keyshawn Johnson, Cris Carter, Chris Mortensen, Stuart Scott, Adam Schefter and Steve Young.
