    Going to extremes

    LOVED that show..wish i could buy a DVD of it!..cant find it anywhere~~~ when they took it off air.i was disappointed .. i thought it was funny and clever...loves the scenery too.... anyone know where i can purchase a DVD let me know~~ where else can u see that scenery and crazy stuff that happened on that show,,,I've looked for a long time...years for the DVD.. and often wondered why it cancelled.. i looked forward to it every week.~

    great premise...

    Solid show that didn't last long enough. Basically it was Northern Exposure set in the Caribbean...quirky characters, doctors, and all. Definitely deserved a better fate, or at least a better time slot.

    This many years later

    My best friend (back then) and I LOVED this show!!

    I would eagerly go to his house so we could watch it together!!!

    I was heart broken when it suddenly stopped airing

    And all these years later I remember the roaming local and the quirky medical students. I wish they would air it again and again.

    It was good clean viewing and very much like Northern Exposure but unique at the same time.

    I agree the bigwigs didn't see profit turn over in 12 hours and stupidly cancelled a show that would have been HUGE!!!!!

    I miss the show and think of it often and constantly trying to find it online so I can watch it again.

    Still love it after all these years

    I too loved this show and was terribly disappointed that it ended so soon. The medical student characters were believable, and provided realistic role models to viewers as they adjusted to life in a society so different from their own but deserving of respect. The Jamaicans portrayed exemplified dignity and resourcefulness under very restricted circumstances. Perhaps the emphasis on poverty and naivety among the local populace caused some discomfort among viewers but surely these issues could have been addressed in later episodes. I will never forget the Nyabinghi man who would disappear into the hills, and I still enjoy my own "Nyabinghi" days alone with my own thoughts, stress-free, and at peace.
