I think Medical Center was a great show. I loved to watch it every week. I always had to be home from work and in front of the Tv that night. I sometimes get to see a old episode and am amazed at how much real Medical work went into the shows.I think Chad Everett was great as Dr.Gannon, I wish they would bring back the show with Chad as the Chief of Staff, I know there are a lot of Medical Center fans still out here who would love it. --Maria
