    First, let me address one of the reviews, that said Ben Casey should be on DVD. I ordered my set, from Amazon in a DVD format and love each and every episode. Ben Casey was a show that I watched in my childhood and loved very much. His sardonic attitude towards his patients only made me love him more. I wish the writers' would have focused on his personal side, to give us more in depth view of who he really was.
