I haven't watch too much since...M.A.S.H. ...Hawkeye, Radar, Holahand. It was good ole fun.
GENERAL HOSPITAL
I love "Bizarre ER" and "Untold Stories of the ER" on Discovery Health! You never know what kind of craziness you will see on those shows.
House and M*A*S*H*
I can't believe there aren't more votes for "ER"! In college, everything stopped Thursday nights. We'd laugh our way through the sitcoms and cry our way through "ER." I remember getting to a very late night play rehearsal that just turned into a community sobfest thanks to "the baby episode" (fans will know which I mean).
When I began my work-life, I looked forward to the Thur. night stress release of a good cry thanks to "ER." It lost its way around the time Romano lost his arm (to a helicopter?), but it was good for longer than most. And I still hold dear Dr. Mark Greene's very good advice to his daughter: "Be generous."
House is a top pick and St. Elsewhere. And yes...I watch a little Doc McStuffins too!
St. Elsewhere and Mash remain my favorites.
I loved St. Elsewhere!
My toddler and I love to watch Doc McStuffins together on the Disney Junior channel. A little girl who's mother is a doctor, is able to "heal" her toys when she puts on her magic stethescope. Worth a watch for those with young kids!
My favorites:
St Elsewhere and China Beach
I always thought ER was the best medical drama. For comedy, you can't beat the British sitcom from the early seventies, Doctor in the House.
SCRUBS, even though thet insist on hanging that chest x-ray up--- BACKWARDS! I also love DOC MARTIN, so warm and fuzzy
"Monsters Inside Me" is definitely the best medical show on TV. The rest of the shows are just about interpersonal conflicts and relationships. I also very much like "The Incredible Dr. Pol" as it pretty accurately portrays the cases seen by a general veterinary practice.
MASH and Doogie Howser!
Scrubs!
Grey's Anatomy--that is why I named my little girl Addison!
Quincy!
Dr. Kildare was a definite favorite when I was a child, but does anyone remember Ben Casey?
My favorites are Chicago Hope and definetely House.
Two thumbs UP for Chicago Hope. Oh, how I miss the days of great storylines!
Let's Konceal the Karadashians!
Lately been watching "Doc Martin", British comedy/drama about a surgeon who gets sick at the sight of blood and works as a GP in a small town.
My favorite of all time is "Emergency!" The adventures of Johnny and Roy led me to make a career choice that I won't ever regret.
