Goofs:

Factual errors: The illuminated letters of Exit signs seen in the hospital are green in color. Both red and green colors are legal, but individual states enact the building code laws which specify what color sign can be used. Chicago requires that all exit signs be red in letter color. The interior hospital scenes are filmed in LA.

Quotes:

Dr. Susan Lewis: [Greene and Lewis discussing the hospital gossip about them] Mmm, yeah, and what is that, can I ask you? My car's in the shop, I drop Susie off at my parents, meet up with you to go tequila shopping, and all of a sudden we're having a torrid affair?
Dr. Mark Greene: Who said it was torrid?
Dr. Susan Lewis: No one, I'm just assuming it would be.
[Greene looks at her]
Dr. Susan Lewis: That's not what I meant.
Dr. Mark Greene: That's OK, I know what you meant... I'm sure it would be too... Why wouldn't it be?
Dr. Susan Lewis: ...No reason at all.
[she stares at Greene and then at her margarita]

Movie Connections:

Referenced in 1st Annual Mystery Science Theater 3000 Summer Blockbuster Review (1997) (TV)

The life and times of doctors at Cook County General Hospital, Chicago.

The best medical drama ever to be aired! It's fast paced, emotional, and suspenseful. The cast is unbeatable. Composed of some of the best actors and actresses Hollywood has ever seen including George Clooney. The show is extremely realistic down to the smallest detail, yet easy enough to understand. There is a lot of drama, but also some comic relief. The characters are all unique and different, but they work well together on stage. The plots and sub-plots are very diversified, but they all tie in somehow. The writing and coordination is incredible. I would recommend this show to everyone, it sure is a change from the warm fuzzies of television!
