"St. Elsewhere" is my all-time favourite television drama. I could write a review for every single one of the remaining seasons not yet released to dvd, however, I will cut to the chase and suggest that the only reason I don't give each and every one any more than 5 stars is simply because the rating meter stops at 5. The character development throughout the run of the show is sublime. There have been many landmark episodes, but the two-part "Time Heals" from Season 4 would have to remain at the top of the list for Best Writing and Direction achievements; and quite possibly, it is through this storyline that "St. Elsewhere" could claim Best Ensemble Cast for Drama. My favourite episode from Season 6 is "Their Town", as many key character storylines from previous seasons reach such a compelling resolution esp. those of characters played by William Daniels (Dr. Mark Craig) and Bonnie Bartlett (Ellen Craig). "St. Elsewhere" is a literate televisual masterpiece. It needs to be released in its entirety because, although I have Season One on dvd, I am missing all the other vital chapters. C'mon studios!!!! Please help me to fill in the missing chapters.
