St. Elsewhere

St. Elsewhere is a television medical drama series that aired on NBC from October26, 1982 until May25, 1988. Ed Flanders, Norman Lloyd, and William Daniels starred as teaching doctors at a low-profile Boston hospital who gave interns a promising future in making vital medical and life decisions. MTM Enterprises, which had success with a similar NBC series, the police drama Hill Street Blues, at the time, produced the series; both series were frequently compared to each other for their use of ensemble casts and overlapping serialized plots. St. Elsewhere was shot at CBS/MTM Studios, which was previously known as CBS/Fox Studios when the show first aired; 20th Century Fox acquired the rights to the series when it purchased MTM Enterprises in the 1990s. Known for its blend of gritty, realistic drama and black comedy, St. Elsewhere amassed a small but devoted fan base over the course of its six-season, 137-episode run; the series also found a strong audience in Nielsen's 18-49 age demographic, a young demo later known for a young, affluent audience that TV advertisers are eager to reach. During its tenure, the sitcom received critical praise, earning 13 Emmy Awards for writing, acting, and directing. St. Elsewhere was voted #20 on TV Guide's list of "The 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time" in2002, and it was named the best drama series of the 1980s in a 1993 issue.
