Set in St. Eligius Hospital, South Boston, St. Elsewhere was another ensemble drama in a similar vein to Hill Street Blues. Following the lifes, loves and careers of a group of doctors and nurses, the show earned much acclaim for its articulate, controversial and innovative scripts.
Featuring a plethora of Movie and television actors of some note, it operated as a springboard for a number of big-name stars and character-actors including: Denzel Washington, David Morse and Ed Begley Jr; not to mention an incredibly talented number of directors and scriptwriters such as: Kevin Hooks (Lost, 24) and Tom Fontana (the creator of HBO's Oz).
Many have noted the influence it has had on E.R. and several other hospital-based dramas which followed in its success. The comparisons are not misguided, as this is just as good as its contemporary offspring, if not better.
