Critic Reviews

David Hinckley

It sounds soapy, but it's all handled well enough, and with enough humor, that we believe it. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

If Ozzie and Harriet, the original sitcom mom and dad, might have some trouble recognizing themselves in any of this, surely Houlihan, the bullied boy-toy nurse of M*A*S*H, will raise a clenched fist of solidarity with the hardbitten Iraq war veteran Veronica Callahan of Mercy. Read full review

Tom Shales

Robert Bianco

Ellen Gray
