Mercy Point

[ffutures]

A thread on james_nicoll's blog led to me pointing out some similarities between the Sector General medical SF books by James White and the TV series House. I've now remembered that there was actually a medical TV series that might fit into this general area - Mercy Point, which ran for a few episodes in 1998-9 before cancellation.

http://james-nicoll.livejournal.com/3559758.html is the thread

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0164097 is the entry for Mercy Point.

It doesn't seem to be available on DVD etc.; in fact there don't even seem to be torrents, which may say something about its quality. Anyone know more?

Never watched it myself, but the reviews I read were pretty dire. I recall it being cancelled very early into its run.

Never saw Mercy Point, but I LOVE Sector General.

Well, here's a promo for it. The FX look OK, but... I'm not sure you can put ER into space without some level of camp...

Thanks - does look a bit that way, but so would a Sector General show, I fear.
