Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

mainerose I'm currently in the process of watching the first season of this true gem of television. I was a loyal watcher during its 6 years but had forgotten what a entertaining and powerful show it was. Last night I was completely blown away by the first 2 episodes. The cast, the storyline, the setting----all facets combined to make this a wonderful example of just how great television can be. I am so glad that this (and other shows from those golden '80s) are now available for viewing once again. Name one show that is currently running that can begin to hold a candle to theses classics. Can't do it, can you? Friends? Grey's Anatomy? CSI? I only hope and pray that someone somewhere will put together a new series that will have half the class and entertainment value of St. Elsewhere.

t-clement-1 The very best television had/has to offer. The show had it all, from the inside jokes to the high drama, every moment kept me captivated. There has been nothing as good since, bar none. It really was the trend setter for so many shows that followed. However, very few that followed lived up the the high standards set by St. Elsewhere. I've been hoping and hoping that that MTM would start to release this amazing show on DVD. Well......................I come with tidings of GREAT JOY!! Season one is finally being released on DVD. YES! that's right! Released as of December 12, 2006. I've already pre-ordered my copy from Amazon.Some of the features are a St. Elsewhere featurette, and also commentary on selected episodes.Can't wait for my delivery date of December 18th. Yeeehaaaww!!

buckwater Whenever the topic of "good television" comes up, inevitably someone brings up "St. Elsewhere." And it's usually me. After all these years I still miss it. It's among the only shows I have ever felt that way about--"Six Feet Under" and "Northern Exposure" being the only other two that I place in that category. ("The Sopranos" will be there all too soon, I fear.) It has never been replayed in this market, yet I still recall the juxtaposition of comedy and drama, and what an intriguing new idea that was at the time. Howie Mandel sings "Psycho Killer" one minute and Mark Harmon worries about accidental AIDS exposure the next. The casting was incredible...I particularly remember a very young Denzel Washington, but everybody was wonderful: Ed Flanders, Ed Begley , Jr. as Erlich, and William ("You're a Pig, Erlich!")Daniels. "St. Elsewhere" was the progenitor of "ER", and David Morse as Boomer Morrison was the progenitor of Anthony Edwards as Dr. Mark Greene. Let others play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon; when I watch television or film I consistently watch for actors who were in or worked on "St. Elsewhere," among the finest television ever created (Joshua Brand and John Falsey)and produced (Bruce Paltrow).

hodgespodges2003 Excuse me but I searched and searched for Denzel Washington's name in the above list of cast members for the St. Elsewhere TV series. He was without question one of the outstanding actors on the set for the duration of the series. Why is his name not listed? Obviously he played a significant role for he landed many other outstanding parts from that point on. Mr. Washington not only had an immense amount of talent but he was distinguished and, for all intents and purposes, quite handsome. As far as I could see he ranked up there with the "cream of the crop". All the actors performed quite well; which is one reason I enjoyed watching this program when it premiered. I feel that the crew of actors, with the exception of one or two, played their parts with such realism that I felt it was a "reel"-to-life program. But I fail to understand how someone like Denzel Washington could be overlooked. Am I blind or is his name listed "elsewhere"?
