My Random TV Thread

[Devildoc]

For all our med peeps and anyone who enjoys a medical series, The Pitt might top the list for ER shows.

Very little "drama", heavily focused on the actual ER. Even brought some Pittsburgh/EMS history into the show by having a patient who was a Member of the Freedom House Ambulance Service.

Ironically, the family of Michael Crichton is suing, saying it's a knock-off of 'ER' and a violation of Crichton's contract. Honestly I think it's splitting hairs; I mean, are they going to sue every show about an ED in which Noah Wylie plays a role?

That said: I have not seen it (I don't get that channel) but am told it's the most realistic medical TV show on right now.

I tried to watch an episode. It wasn't my thing, but I understand a lot of people like these kinds of shows.

That said, if I didn't know any different, I would've thought I was watching the latest episode of ER. I don't know what that means in terms of contracts and lawsuits, but I certainly see the parallels.
