Medical drama. This soap styled drama concerned itself with the lives of three LA doctors, Roger Cattan, Tim Lonner and Evan Newman, who set up their own private practice with the motivating factor of helping people rather than lining their pockets. Cattan however was often at odds with his partners over just how altruistic they should be. A fourth member of the team was quickly recruited in the shape of Sarah Church (Sarah had a problematic life in the show; a failing marriage and then the discovery she was pregnant, later she began an affair with Evan but a tragic end lay in store for her in the final episode – death in a car accident). The biggest development in later episodes of the show was the guys being embezzled by their business manager.

Intriguingly two characters from the show Civil Wars crossed over into this show, the two were Eli Levinson and Denise Ianello.

Sitcom. Top late night chat show host Larry Sanders seems the perfect host but off screen has plenty of problems. The series mixed semi-real type chat moments which featured most of Hollywood at some point or other, with behind the scenes stuff. The show used an effective mixture of film for the behind the scenes stuff and videotape for the chat stuff.

Unflappable and incredibly loyal and brave female collie dog Lassie who
despite several changes in master always managed to be the hero of the hour.
The show was long running and underwent many cast and plot changes,
initially Lassie belonged to Jeff Miller but in 1957 his mother sold the
farm following the death of his grandfather (actor George Cleveland having
died in real life) and the Martin family became the new owners of Lassie, in
1964 the Martin’s decided to emigrate to Australia leaving Lassie behind
of course, elderly Cully Wilson looked after him for a while but following
his death Lassie was taken in by ranger Corey Stuart, later in 1968 two new
rangers were brought in Corey Stuart and Scott Turner but the producers were
moving Lassie into more of an independent streak by 1971 she was without a
human companion at all, in fact 1971 was a major year for Lassie as in a
seven episode arc she fell in love with a male dog and gave birth to a
litter of puppies. The show finished on CBS 12 September 1971 but
continued in Syndication for a further three years and towards the end of
the shows run Lassie again found herself with a human family, living on the
Holden ranch in
There was also an animated
version called Lassie’s Rescue Rangers as well as a 1980’s revival
called The New Lassie. The series of course was based on the novel by Eric
Knight which in turn gave us the legendary MGM movie Lassie Come Home which
starred Elizabeth Taylor and Roddy McDowell.

Sitcom. Sarah Paulson (Jack & Jill) stars as Faith Wardell, an energetic 32-year-old ad executive in New York who is looking for love, laughter and -- what the hell -- some small screen ratings.

Throw in Jill Clayburgh as Faith's Mom (what happened to her career?) and Tim Meadows as her boss and there you have it -- another generic sitcom smack in the middle of NBC's Must Not Always See Thursday night line-up. - Entry by Marc Berman
