I watched the 1/2 hour sitcom of Patients, it was about 2 years ago. I'm wondering if it has been optioned. As it is being commented on now. I hope so! I thought it was an original idea and very well made on a shoestring budget. Everyone involved gave of their time and talents, probably in exchange for meals. I find it hard to believe so many would come through for the writer/director if it was thought to be unworthy. There are no comedies on television at present that I enjoy, and I feel with the polish of a network, the humor will make it a fast hit. I was well aware that this was a presentation after all, and viewed it with that in mind.
