Going to Extremes

I am also part of this minority. I loved this show along with its very quirky characters. The island setting was beautiful. The different situations the American students found themselves in made for some pretty funny and at times educational situations. They should release the series on DVD. I remember one episode where the students were trying to get an appliance repaired. Each time they went to the repairman's place of business, he was out or away. He kept some pretty strange hours. the shop would be open only on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday or something and since he was the boss, he made his own hours. Not uncommon in the Caribbean. :)

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.

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.
