Chicago's Clark Street Hospital was the setting for this comedy about the staff and patients of the hospital's emergency room. Howard Sheinfeld (Elliott Gould) was the sarcastic, talkative doctor who oversaw most of the emergency room treatment. An ear-nose-and-throat specialist, he moonlighted at the hospital doing 48-hour shifts to help him keep up with alimony payments to two ex-wives.

Dr. Eve Sheridan (Marcia Strassman in the pilot than played by (Mary McDonnell), his no-nonsense boss at the hospital, wished he would take things a little more seriously and not work such long shifts. Harold Stickley (Jason Alexander) was the hospital administrator, George Clooney as Mark "Ace" Kolmar, the med tech, Joan Thor(Conchata Ferrell), was the head nurse and Lynne Moody as Nurse Julie Williams.

The series was based off of a popular stage production of the time. It featured the the hit "I've Got a Real Emergency, Here" (sung by Lou Rawls, written by Jimmy Webb) as its theme song.

The Bottom Line: "Ahead of its time"
Loved this show ...Continue »
I was in love with Corrine Bohrer when I was a teenager and this show had her and Mary Mcdonnell as major hawt stuff. It was funny and well written. I barely remember Elliot Gould in the show because my favorite characters were the hot chicks and Conchata Ferrell as the tough nurse. It had Jason Alexander as the jerk boss and George Clooney as the dimwit newphew of Conchata's character. The show was good for a laugh and that's what TV is supposed to give us. It was this show that forced me to watch Lifetime since they repeated the show 2 times a day for about 3 years.
