'St. Elsewhere' Cast Reunion Includes Ed Begley Jr., Howie Mandel

Entertainment Weekly welcomes cast back together from classic TV show.

RIP to Norman Lloyd who died 11th May 2021 age 106 I was only watching him on St. Elsewhere on the All 4 streaming service a couple of weeks ago He was great as Dr. Daniel Auschlander

106????????? I my gosh!!!!! I was born Jan 6 1982 and I watched this show every episode (some to young to remember but I was with my mom in room) and this show was a huge part of my childhood. I can't believe he was still alive. 😭😭 How beautiful he was such a nice man.

All medical dramas owe their roots to St Elsewhere as cop shows owe Hill Street Blues. Pioneering, trailblazing TV which pushed it to the limits and beyond.

[@Fordham1969]

+Rick Dunn I think one can argue in hindsight that St. Elsewhere and Hill Street Blues represented the best of their respected genres up to that point in time,and so were both extremely influential.But in fairness,the roots for those genres run a bit deeper than that.One shouldn't forget Dragnet and Ben Casey for example,important shows for their time.They weren't the kind of large ensemble shows that the later series were,but in certain respects they still set a template.

[@angelaweston608]

Fordham1969 Rick Dunn is right. The shows you mention are classics but weren't the format that the hospital & police shows that followed were built on the way St Elsewhere & Hill St were.

[@irobu]

[@sweetsueohio2]

Alll medical shows roots go back to Dr Kildare, Ben Casey, and Medical Center. Police shows roots go back to Dragnet, and Adam-12.

[@tnawcwvictoria]

You can thank Mary Tyler Moore for bringing in St. Elsewhere, Hill Street Blues and Remington Steele

[@woohooboy]

Both "St Elsewhere" & "Hill Street Blues" elevated television drama (and the medical and police genres) to a whole new level back in the 80's. Adding a sense of grittiness and realism that had not been seen on American network television previously. The following decade in the 90's saw "ER" & "NYPD Blue" pick up the mantle and push the creative and dramatic envelope even further.

This was a brilliant show from TVs last-gasp Golden Era just before the arrival of cable. It's now largely overlooked but its role in the evolution of television drama was profound. Numerous Hollywood careers were launched by the program, most notably Denzel Washington. It's a shame that young people are deprived of experiencing these great old series with their awesome opening music and terrific ensemble casts. In those days the writers turned out original plot lines and top-notch dialogue, unlike the wretched garbage we see on TV these days. It's a nostalgic kick to see this video.

One of the first shows I was addicted to watching.

Also uttered the iconic "Plastics" line in "The Graduate". On one of the St E episodes, Craig and his wife went to Philadephia which is where they met at Penn U. She said something about him having a great singing voice but he never would sing. He broke into song with, "It's hot as Hell in Philadelphia" which was a reference to "1776" in which he played John Adams.

[@southernlady5085]

Can’t believe it’s been so long. But I also can’t believe I’m in my senior years now. I’m glad my generation had this show and others upon which we can look now with appreciation. How I wish that more recent generations could have a chance to come home after work and watch this great era in tv history with their families. These shows brought us together in the evenings, and we’d talk about characters, plot lines, current events, and universal themes. These great shows made us think and discuss topics that were relevant in the day. I was a great fan of William Daniels and Bonnie Bartlett. [Daniels will forever be John Adams (1776) to me!] But St. Elsewhere had such a great ensemble of actors who broke the Ben Casey mold of doctors and hospitals! Characters were written as real people, who struggled with real life issues; sometimes they won, and other times they failed really miserably. But in the end, they were characters that mirrored us, as the Boomers got married, began careers, and wrestled with the messiness of life. Although I disliked the ending when it aired, I look back upon it now some 40+ years later and understand. It couldn’t have wrapped any other way. Great era; great tv show; and great memories! Thank you, St. Elsewhere. Thank you!

Denzel won Two Oscars and a Tony Award. It dealt with Breast Cancer, AIDS and Autism way before it became a National Issue. Also, I remember the Actor who played Coolidge on The White Shadow (Also Produced By Bruce Paltrow) mistaking Timothy Van Patten for Salami.

I read in an interview with him that he didn't realize his role wouldn't be as prominent as he thought, due to the ensemble nature of the show. He quit after the first season to star in an ABC fluff show called 'Glitter'. I remember an exquisite scene he had in a bar setting and how gorgeous and heart-breaking the dialogue was. I could never understand why any actor would leave such a rich, character-driven show. I'd rather have a smaller role in a stellar show, than a larger one in something that was just 'meh' (as so much television was back then).

If it hasn't already been noted, there should be a compilation of in-jokes that the show did for several of its regular cast and many of its guest stars.

When Matt Frewer, who did Coke commercials, guest-starred on the show, one of the nurses told him to "catch the wave" (the slogan from the commercial) just to name a couple. Favorite scene?

It was that long ago. I was working at a Boston ER and saw most of the shows in repeat. Everyone did such a great job! That same building is on Washington Street in the south end of Boston. One of my friends worked there, but the building was used for detoxing and being clean. Some of it was very real. The feelings of the shows were much the same as watching MASH.

Still one of my favorite TV series … 🥰

A friend took up medicine because of this. And he's a doctor now. 😆
