As an adult, I have taken a 2nd look at this series that captivated me as a child. Lots of medical genre t.v. Shows influenced my decision, I think, to become a nurse, to some extent.
Now that I'm using adult eyes, I must say the Marcus Welby series was very well done!!! Kudos to the writers!
The recurring themes of the elder (Dr. Welby) imparting wisdom to his young partner, Dr. Kiley and Dr. Kiley's more "modern day" take on Welby's advice seems to be peppered into every episode!
Also, Dr. Kiley's character is someone with whom I am impressed. The young, James Brolin played this character exquisitely! I admire the tremendous amount of patience that was imbued into Kiley's character, it is ever present: A little bit juxtaposed when it comes to Kiley's modern-day slant of situations involving patients or their family situation, but tons of mature patience and restraint in such a young physician. However there is no explanation as to Kiley's background when it comes to finding out where Dr. Kiley learned his mega-manners! Quite mature for the young doctor.
This writing is top notch!!!
Casting for Marcus Welby, MD, is superb in the characters apparent!
Absolutely ABC's finest fare, then and now!
