MDs

In the biggest sense, this was just another failed dysfunctional-hospital drama. It could never gain any traction on distinguishing itself from other medical dramas. There wasn't a McDreamy, or a bitter Brit know-it-all. However it did have some good actors. William Fichter is solid as usual. You got Jane Lynch, Robert Joy, John Hannah, and Michaela Conlin as the naive rookie Dr Yang that we're supposed to root for.

These are all stock characters. There wasn't anything wrong with the show. The central premise is a continuous battle between the doctors trying to treat patients and the bureaucratic administrators working the numbers. It's just that there wasn't anything original to make it stand out and it did not get the numbers that the network wanted.

Quick wits, sarcastic comments and a battle- the Dr.s and patients: versus the system- streamline this beautifully written drama. Two Doctors, Kellerman, head of the Cardio-Thoracic, and Dalgety, a Trauma Surgeon, will do anything to help their patients, much to the dismay of the greedy runners of the hospital. This is mix of ER, but not as dramatic and way more serious than Scrubs. Many people go on about not needing another Hospital series, but this is more than that. And different. MDs is in a category all of its own. It's a perfect show for everyone.

Great show, too bad it ended. become a fan on facebook! http://www.facebook.com/pages/MDs-2002-TV-Series/163606777031014 It never stood a chance because it was shown at the same time as 2 other hit medical TV shows. Had it been shown at a different time i bet it would have been an amazing show and had a huge following. I agree with the people who say that it was like a new MASH but it was not copying it; it was its own show. One of the best shows I've seen! Just wish it could have stayed on the air a little longer and been given a real shot. This show is like a better version of Scrubs! It could easily rival the hit shows of today like HOUSE MD, Grey's Anatomy and Scrubs as well as the non-medical shows!

This show so far has been totally great. The vibe between Doctors Kellerman and Dalgetty reminds me very much of the vibe between Doctors Pierce and Hunnicut from M*A*S*H*. The show had characters like Doctor Kellerman, a man who is divorced and tries to see his kid as much as he can. He's good at what he does and always tries his hardest. Then there's Dalgetty, with that sexy Scottish accent, he's the Hawkeye Pierce of the show. He's the one who is always charming women and has never had a relationship last longer than 3 weeks. Nurse Doctor Pool is a woman who has a Doctor in nursing and takes her job very seriously. Mr. Donge (pronounce the 'e') is the representative from the hospital's HMO, there to make sure money is only spent on necessary things and not on things such as reattaching a pinkie. The cast has worked together beautifully from the start and I think that this show has real staying power, if only it could be moved into a better time slot.

The "MDs" show was canceled because of the TV network's error: they put it against two other medical shows at the same time/day and so it couldn't withstand the competition. However, watching the series I found one more flaw: the first 3-4 episodes were really good. Then, it became really boring and disconnected. I guess that had something to do with the viewership and the consequent cancellation too...

William Fichtner is very attractive in the series, playing a divorced heart surgeon with a... Harley Davindson.

In a not so nice note though, I felt sick more than once with that series. They would simulate heart transplant operations and I was that close from throwing up.
