Wasn't this a partal spin-off of MASH? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.237.207 (talk • contribs) 12 August 2005


 * I don't believe so. It's been awhile since I've seen an episode, but I used to watch it in syndication on Lifetime. Back then Lifetime was a medical/health channel, that started showing some doctor shows, hence it was called "Lifetime."--T. Anthony 03:11, 21 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Although looking it up it apparently was always in part a woman's channel. Although what I remember most of the women's programming they showed before the 1990s was talk shows, a few old sitcoms, and women's health shows.--T. Anthony 03:23, 21 September 2005 (UTC)


 * As for the catchy song I can still remember much of it, but I think there are copyvio probs even in quoting songs from memory. Essentially it was shot and sung from the POV of a guy being wheeled in singing about having an emergency. You didn't see the guy seeing of course as you were "looking out through his", so to speak, at the cast. The idea was more the song was going on his head or something anyway as he was not in a position to sing. Anyway I kind of liked it in syndication, but it had a sort of "in syndication" feel. I barely remember it when it was on regular TV.--T. Anthony 03:23, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

The show was set up as having the front desk nurse be the niece of George Jefferson, who did a cameo on the first episode, but the niece never did appear on The Jeffersons. Jude86 04:04, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

completely untrue
This article claims that this show was "reformated" into the drama "ER". This is completely false. The drama "ER" was written entirely seperately by Michael Crichton, and he had been trying to get it produced as a film for nearly 20 years before he and Steven Spielberg agreed to do it as a TV show. The fact that George Clooney appeared on both shows is merely coincidence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.136.182.207 (talk • contribs) 8 April 2007
