    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The show never won high ratings but it lasted six seasons on NBC because it appealed to the desirable (for advertisers) educated 18-49 year old demographic.
    • Goofs
      SPOILER: Throughout the final season (1987-1988), the elevated Orange Line train is seen in the opening credits. However, the elevated line was torn down and relocated in April 1987, thus making its appearance anachronistic during the final season. However, all of the series except for the last scene was revealed to be a dream within an autistic boy's head, so the appearance of the elevated Orange Line train in 1987 would be an error on the part of the character.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Mark Craig: [looking at an x-ray] There's a liver not long for this world.

      Dr. Daniel Auschlander: It's mine.

    • Crazy credits
      After the credits, they show the MTM kitten wearing a surgical mask and smock to match the show. In final episode, the MTM kitten is shown underneath the credits, hooked up to life-support. At the end of the credits, the kitten flatlines.
    • Alternate versions
      The versions shown on Bravo cable network in the United States have many of the songs used throughout the series replaced with generic stock music, probably due to licensing issues.
    • Connections
      Featured in The 35th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards (1983)

    No medical drama was better
    There were very few shows that could provide stirring, insightful, sometimes disturbing drama week after week, but "St. Elsewhere" always did. A superlative cast made it entirely believable: Ed Flanders was terrific as Dr. Westphall, as was William Daniels as Dr. Craig. I still miss the insults that Craig threw at Dr. Ehrlich (Ed Begley, Jr.)

    I found the show so believable that I wondered if there was a real St. Eligius Hospital in Boston. I think everyone should see it.
