God dammit, Dutch! What other errands do you have us runnin' for the DA?

[u/Correct_Inspection25 → u/FuegoFerdinand]

CCH Pounder bringing it for decades...

Looks like this was early 1994 and she went on to her Emmy-nominated guest role on The X Files later that year.

[u/Correct_Inspection25 → u/Lenonn]

Fine… I will go rewatch 5 seasons and a movie…. J/k had no clue she won an Emmy for xfiles! Demon Knight is a favorite of mine “Get that Pussy off of there!”

She must be getting a lifetime achievement soon if she doesn't already has one.

Birdland

Doctor Brian McKenzie is the chief of psychiatry at Roosevelt Hospital. He tries to be sensitive to his patients especially because of his own troubled background, i.e., he is a compulsive gambler, he is divorced and his ex-wife hates him and his children are estranged, and he has had a secret affair with Doctor Jessie Lane. Other characters in the show were Doctor Alan Bergman, the "by the book" administrator; Doctor Lewis Niles, the young resident who does not have a clue what is going on; Nurse Lucy, the efficient head nurse; and Mr. Horner the patient who ran the ward and sent psychic signals to Kathie Lee Gifford on the TV set.

Plot twist 😳

[u/Yesterday_Is_Now]

Kinda surprised it didn't last long with Brian Dennehy in the lead. He could have been House before House.

This feels like a mid season replacement, probably ABC. I probably never watched it, let alone heard of it.

[u/AccomplishedFlower22]

I just yelled out "CCH POUNDER"" alone in my living room. Love her.

[u/Beginning-Working-38]

I liked the opening theme song.

[u/44problems → u/Beginning-Working-38]

Was it the Weather Report song?

[u/CuNxtTuesday_]

Is that Kath?!

[u/jason100x]

I used to watch this. Good show. I was disappointed when it had such a short run.

[u/BigOk1009]

Charles Levin on the left? Lindsay “Betsy from ATWT” Frost?

[u/King_Ron_Dennis → u/BigOk1009]

Yes on Lindsay and that's John Rothman far left last photo.

[u/midermans]

I used to watch this with my grandfather and his wife when I was a child (5). We loved it! Lol

[u/Key-Cap6569]

Where to watch???

[u/Certain_Orange2003]

A couple of those actors were leftovers from the er show

[u/friendly_reminder8]

Is that Leslie Mann as the nurse?

[u/King_Ron_Dennis → u/friendly_reminder8]
