Médecins d'aujourd'hui

I was in high school when this aired in 1969. I watched every episode. I sure do miss it and wish memorable entertainment TV, antenna TV, or inspiration channels would show it. Chad Everett did an episode of supernatural few years back playing older dean winchester. Few years later he died. Only other show I saw him in was the nanny, of all things, playing a doctor. I never knew where medical center was being filmed when I looked it up on www.IMDb.com. When I was scrolling down thats when I saw where it was being filmed. I forgot what the episodes where about but one. Think Robert Reed was in it and he wanted a sex change operation and only Dr Gannon would do the operation. I have a few web sites to watch TV shows but its not listed on any of them. I even went on www.youtube.com and not there either.

I was rather young when this show ran and really do not remember a lot about it other than the tinted opening sequences featuring the actors in doctor's masks accompanied by the Wulitzer organ score. For some reason I found this to be unsettling and it made me quite afraid of hospitals. I eventual grew out of that but until then I used to leave the room when my mom had it on. Maybe not being able to completely see the actors was scary to me. Little kids get scared of some dubious things, right? I do remember the episode where Robert Reed wanted a sex change operation. I saw it years later rerun on TNT and I thought it was even funnier than I remembered. I am sure it was not supposed to be but the idea of Mike Brady wanting to be a women and the sight of him dressed like one was humorous.

So I Could Collect Them On Tape, It Was A Great Show, But Most Of All Just Like Looking at Chad, The story lines Were Good And Especially Want the 4 or 5 episodes with Shelby Grant on them (His Wife of Now 39 Years) !!!!!!!!

I just read a comment regarding when Lily Tomlin walked off the Dick Cavett show, because Chad said Shelby was his Property,

But . . . I Also Have Tapes OF Chad & Shelby on Tattletales in 1975 when they had been married 9 years, had the two kids & Chad Was Loving And Respectful & Sweet & Affectionate To Her.

on the Dick Cavett Show, Chad Must have added

"But then, I'm her property also, It's Commitment at its Height"

OKAY TvLAND Channel, Get Medical Center ReRuns On Very Soon !!!

P L E A S E,

Not only did this show have a top notch supporting cast, a handsome, charming leading man, and outstanding "guest star" performances, but it took on issues and subjects and issues that were taboo on television until that time (some are still quite controversial even now). Male impotence. A lesbian doctor. Witchcraft. Drug overdoses. Gangs. Sex changes. Mental illnesses. Doctors practicing with no training. Racial issues. Feminisim. Child abuse.I still remember many of the episodes and even some of the dialogue. The issues covered in this groundbreaking series are still relevant to audiences today. This is a series that deserves more attention and needs a DVD box set made!

Medical Center was a very popular drama doctor TV. series in the seventies, Chad Everett and James Daly did an super starring role as doctor Joe Gannon and chief of staff doctor Paul Lochner. It also starred most well known actors from those days in guest roles,for instance, Jodie foster, David Cassidy, Michael Douglas, Cid Charisse, Richard Thomas and many more,

every episode had it's own touching medical story, the script writers did do an excellent job, by writing such touching exiting medical story's,about people and their medical problems, and how the doctors helped them to cure,

but it was Chad Everett in his brilliant touching role as clever, kind ,great looking doctor Joe Gannon, who brought the show to the top! There has never been any medical Dr. show on TV who was so perfect done like this one was! Hope the entire series will be released on DVD or home video soon! A lot of medical center fans, would love this to happen! We would all love to see a remake movie of medical center with Chad Everett nowadays! this would be great!
