Trivia
In one episode, Dr. Axelrod and P.A. Luther Hawkins are trying to cheer up Dr. Fiscus, who had been shot. Among the things they perform to do that is blowing up rubber surgical gloves, then putting them over their heads, to no avail, prompting Axelrod (Stephen Furst) to make a comment about the guy on TV who got a big laugh on TV doing the bit - which was Howie Mandel, who played Dr. Fiscus.

Throughout the series, Dr. Daniel Auschlander suffers from late-stage Liver Cancer and yet he is seen repeatedly as drinking "very good" Scotch after hours with his staff in his office. Alcohol consumption only aggravates Liver Cancer and hastens death. See more »Quotes

This series helped break prime time drama out of the 70's, "Marcus Welby M.D.", "Medical Center" humorless, melodramatic rut, and was the father of such shows as "Northern Exposure", "ER", and "Chicago Hope". The latter has even paid homage to it through subtle references to its characters and storylines.
Along with "Hill Street Blues" it offered week after week of an ingenious blend of truly insightful drama and clever, often bizzare humour that left me craving more. It is still one of the most missed television programs to ever leave the air.
