You are right, some like Comedy and some like Westerns

medical shows do not tend to age as well ratings wise

there doesnt seem to be much interest

now E/R can be a hit in reruns but if you go back to the 70s or beyond, there is just not much interest anymore

sad to say....

debwalsh · 10-27-2006, 06:00 PM

Well, the incredible strides in medicine may have something to do with that. Some of the health crises that fueled those early shows are not significant concerns today. I remember especially in the late '60s and through the '70s, there was a strong tendency toward disease of the week - some of that drama just isn't compelling any longer.

I wonder how shows like House and ER will really stand up to the next generation?

I agree that many of the issues dealt with back then are outdated now (or at least the way the ways they were dealt with are), but when you think about it, no medical or hospital drama has ever really portrayed a realistic account of life on the ward.

You don't get a patient everyday with a never before seen mystery illness, nurses don't always fall inlove with their patients, and the staff aren't always involved in a love triangle with each other (my job would be a heck of a lot more interesting if all that were true

)

its sort of like how the original Dragnet seems simple nowadays
it just hasnt aged as well

i love the medical shows, but to be honest when i watch Marcus Welby or Dr Kildare, they seem realllllllllllll dated

jbnet21 · 11-01-2006, 02:36 AM

It's a shame that so many of the black and white series, that we used to be able to see on Nick are not even available on DVD let alone on television again. I really enjoyed some classics like

Dobie Gillis
My 3 Sons
Car 54
Patty Duke and
Dennis the Menace

Hopefully I will be able to find some of these somewhere.
