St. Elsewhere
St. Elsewhere is a television sitcom that aired on NBC from October 26, 1982 to May 25, 1988. The series starred Ed Flanders, Norman Lloyd, and William Daniels as teaching doctors at a low-profile Boston hospital who gave interns a potential future in making vital medical and life decisions. The series was created by MTM Enterprises, which had success with a similar NBC series, the police drama Hill Street Blues, at the time; both shows were frequently compared to one other for their use of ensemble actors and overlapping serialized plots. St. Elsewhere was shot at CBS/MTM Studios, which was formerly known as CBS/Fox Studios when the show first aired; 20th Century Fox acquired the rights to the series when it purchased MTM Enterprises in the 1990s. St. Elsewhere developed a tiny but dedicated fanbase over its 6-season, 137-episode run; the series also found a solid audience in Nielsen's 18-49 age demographic, a youthful demo later recognized for a young, wealthy audience that TV advertisers are eager to reach. During its tenure, the sitcom received critical praise, winning 13 Emmy Awards for writing, acting, and directing. St. Elsewhere was ranked #20 on TV Guide's list of "The 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time" in2002, and the magazine named it the best drama series of the 1980s in a 1993 issue.
