Trivia | The writers of this show shared a building and a copy machine at MTM with the writers from Hill Street Blues (1981). Whenever they needed inspiration, they would look at a script from Hill Street Blues (1981) and that always pushed them to do better. See more » |
Goofs | In at least two episodes, someone comments on all the new digital clocks that were installed in the hospital. The only times these clocks are seen are when they are mentioned. Otherwise, large analog clocks are seen just about everywhere, in every episode. See more » |
