TV Show Plot For St. Elsewhere

St. Elswhere was a critically acclaimed serial drama which ran on NBC for six seasons from 1982 to 1988. Although the show never ranked above #49 in the rankings, it did appeal to an advertiser friendly audience of affluent americans. The series also brought attention to the network by being nominated for 63 Emmy Awards and winning a total of 13.

The urban setting and ensemble cast of St. Elsewhere drew frequent comparisons to the TV show Hill Street Blues. The shows themes were also often controversial. St. Elsewhewre was the first prime-time series to feature an AIDS patient. It was also not uncommon for main characters of the series to die suddenly.

The St. Elsewhere cast included several future stars including: Denzel Washington, Helen Hunt and Howie Mandel.

NBC ran 137 episodes of St. Elsewhere over it's six year network run.
