Fave Medical Dramas

Property is the ideal health-related drama that I've ever observed. The combination of witty dialogue, wise health-related mysteries(effectively, to a layperson), and brilliant acting makes it a single of my most favourite shows, of any genre.So what's your favorite medical drama and why?

Yes, I know ER probably seems a little played out at this point. And it's not as original as House. But I've been a fan since the beginning, and if you go back and watch some of those early episodes, you'll be struck by how great the acting and writing and pace is. Watch Noah Wyle grow from callow to old beyond his years. Watch George Clooney bring depth to the rogue. And then there's Julianna Margulies, who connected so much with viewers that they decided not to kill her off after the first episode, as had been the original plan. That first episode, by the way, is a triumph of pacing and plot. As for St. Elsewhere, it's the medical drama that set the standard for all to follow. Before St. Elsewhere, shows were either mysteries or comedies and left the real character development and depth to movies. That changed with this show, which also had a strong cast, a number of whom went on to bigger and better things(most notably Denzel Washington).

House for me, too It's not just an incredibly clever show, it's not just that I feel smarter when I watch it, it's also got the best characters on TV. Incredible show, great writing, wonderful acting, and probably the best hour on TV right now. You may be interested in the book below. I've put it on my Wishlist. It's not out yet, but it looks like it'll be a fascinating read.

ER This is in large part because it's the only one I've really seen(and I stopped watching it(and most other tv) ~4 years ago), but it did generally have good dialogue, vaguely compelling plots/characters, etc. It did have its share of contrived things from time to time, but I don't expect perfection. I have only seen 1 episode of House and it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good enough to get me to watch it regularly.

Hugh Laurie, Hugh Laurie, and Hugh Laurie. The fact that they made this guy antisocial is icing on the cake--great spin on a character whose work is saving lives and solving crimes.

I like House as well. I think Dr. House himself is what makes it so good -- he's actually a well developed character rather than just a superman that heals all suffering in the world. Plus it's hard to beat a guy who's an absolute jerk but is likable anyway.
