Other than situation comedies of the 1970's there were medical shows, and one that came to mind really just now was one named 'Medical Center' is starred Chad Everett and James Daly has two doctors in a community hospital. These two doctors were faced with injuries, diseases and even psychological issues that kind of affected us back in the day. As a nurse in today's world I remember how nurses had to dress from dresses and pantsuits to even wearing a nurse's cap. The doctors were always wearing suits, but today they just wear what they want unless they have a meeting or something. 'Medical Center' was a show that could give you an idea what this profession was about but only in a very general sense and really not very accurate but good television for the time. "I am not a doctor, but I play one on tv."

Sanford & Son
There was an old situation comedy for the mid 1970's about a father and son who owned a salvage yard that was their home and business. This show was called 'Sanford and Son' that starred Redd Foxx and Desmond Wilson. I remember watching this program when a was a young child and also kind of laughed when Fred would foul up his plans to do something and will have to tell the truth and one of his favorite sayings was "This is the big one I'm coming to see ya Elizabeth!" while clutching his chest like he was having a heart attack. This was also a show that Fred (Foxx) and Lamont (Wilson) will do anything to help each other in many situations from dating at any age to making money. There was always some zany story for a show that was primarily for the Negro/Black community.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

"Hear Me Out"
"Hear me out, what if we ran away together?" "Where do you want to go?" "Anywhere but here. We could move to a new city or to Canada, or we could disappear from society to live in the middle of the woods. Maybe a combination of two of those things would be good. What do you say?"

Wasn't the spinoff of this show "Trapper John MD"? At any rate, I thoroughly enjoyed these medical shows each and every week.
