Patients

The show has it all, writing, directing, acting. The Producers of this show should be nominated for an Emmy. The production value was flawless for the very small budget. Peter Jason and Geoffrey Lewis were outstanding casting choices. They have some great newcomers to the biz like Brittany Eldridge who plays Hannah and Kendrick Hudson as Tiny. I noticed that Dwight Hicks from The San Fran 49er's played Dr. Abbott and totally rocked. THere are also a handful of amazing stand-up comedians like Mike Marino, Grahm Elwood, Michael Juris, James Price and Suzanne Davis as Callie. The only bad thing about is that I saw it at a screening and haven't seen it on TV yet. I don't know why that is but it definitely needs more exposure.

I watched the 1/2 hour sitcom of Patients, it was about 2 years ago. I'm wondering if it has been optioned. As it is being commented on now. I hope so! I thought it was an original idea and very well made on a shoestring budget. Everyone involved gave of their time and talents, probably in exchange for meals. I find it hard to believe so many would come through for the writer/director if it was thought to be unworthy. There are no comedies on television at present that I enjoy, and I feel with the polish of a network, the humor will make it a fast hit. I was well aware that this was a presentation after all, and viewed it with that in mind.
