Weak episode
22 June 2020 | by yaornwSee all my reviews

If ever an episode felt like people were going through the motions, it was this one, and don't get me started on the silly Tommy Westphall ending. Sure it explains the silliness and lack of seriousness with which medical matters were often treated on this show as far as accuracy goes, but to me it was just lame. I thought so when it first aired, I still think so now. The final season really showed the show and characters had worn out and that's too bad. Because the first three seasons were truly spectacular TV.
