I was addicted to this show when it was on. I thiink it is a shame that we can't get more episodes. Everyone was so young. David Birney, David Morse (Who recently played a detective named Trigger who was on House making his life misearable. He is large now, back during st. elsewhere he was just tall and skinny. I had forgotten this was the first show I had seen Denzel on. And I think Wayne Fiscus may have been the best role Howie Mandell ever played. He was an excellent role model when this came out. I was working in an office and at the time, myself and several other men there started wearing Hawaiian shirts with a tie.
This show was perfect for the time, it was like the "House" of the eighties
(from October 26, 1982 to May 25, 1988) . A smaller, less well funded hospital in a growing town but wishing to stay right where they are and trying to excel at hiring the best staff and doing a superior job rather than a huge overcrowded hospital.
