As long as they don’t use the same IDIOT technical advisors as “House M.D.” and (shudder…) “Grey’s Anatomy”. I cannot say enough about how inaccurate those two shows are. Scrubs get’s it right more than the others. We all used to laugh at E.R., but now it’s the most accurate medical drama on TV…or at least the only one I can stomach.

okay, as an avid grey’s and house fan, i think i speak for the rest of us “lay folk” when i say we could give a damn about medical accuracy, because that’s not what the shows are about. i mean, detectives and d.a.’s could do plenty of complaining about fictional suspects being questioned, indicted, charged, convicted, and sentenced all in one neat hour on law & order (and all it’s successors), but again, for the rest of us, it’s about the drama.

but on the other hand, maybe a CDC-based drama should be more concerned with accuracy since the CDC is a very specific entity…i dunno…i’ll probably watch either way.
