    Very slick and very shiny, full of impassioned confrontations and noble utterances. [17 Sep 1994]

    It's a self-important but frequently entertaining mix of Ben Casey melodrama and St. Elsewhere-style modernism.

    Glimmers of good acting peep through this maze of melodrama. Yet "St. Elsewhere" practiced more interesting medicine, and Kelley's Emmy-laden "Picket Fences" is bolder and more likable. More significant, so is "ER."

    Somber and uncompromising. ... Despite its high-powered actors (Adam Arkin and Hector Elizondo also work at this hospital) and highfalutin executive producer, David E. Kelley (Picket Fences, L.A. Law), the show's a storehouse of cliches. [15 Sep 1994]
