Chicago Hope
David E. Kelley was a force in television for years. In the ‘90s alone he created Picket Fences, The Practice, Ally McBeal, and Chicago Hope. This particular show, the one that debuted in 1994, was a medical drama set in the Windy City.
The ensemble medical drama was originally headlined by Mandy Patinkin as a cardiac surgeon who plays by his own rules, but gets results. However, since Patinkin can be, shall we say, a difficult figure on the set, eventually he would move into a recurring role and others, including Mark Harmon as Jack McNeil, would fill the void. Chicago Hope ran for six seasons and 141 episodes.
