Not sure why I liked this show as much as I did.

Dr. Paul Lochner (James Daly) and Dr. Joe Gannon (Chad Everett) are surgeons at a university hospital in the Los Angeles area. Medical Center focused on their lives, and the lives of their patients whom they would treat each week. The patients were new each week leaving lots of openings for guest spots.
Dr. Gannon was more in the Ben Casey mode than the Dr. Welby mold as far as I can remember. He was also hunkier than either of them. This was the longest running doctor show (with Welby) until ER came along. I haven't kept up with doctor shows since the first years of ER. My very favorite was ST. ELSEWHERE though.

Oh, Patti, I remember this! It's been so long since I've thought of it, but I do remember watching it!
I'm with you on ST. ELSEWHERE. Most of the medical programs that followed were inferior.
Back in the day, we referred to Everett as Chad "Bunz" Everett... For obvious reasons!
Lot of babies named Chad over those years.
