Deju Vu All Over Again

Back in the early Nineties (remember the Nineties?) CBS and NBC each had a new doctor show on the schedule. CBS' entry was Chicago Hope, produced and written by David E. Kelley, who is probably the Antichrist. NBC had a little show called E.R., you may of heard of it. Both shows were set in hospitals in Chicago, and both were scheduled for 10 PM ET (9 CT) on Thursdays.

Flash forward to this week. CBS has announced a show called Presidio Med about a group of doctors (mostly women), set in San Francisco. It will air Wednesday at 10 PM ET. This comes on the heels of ABC announcing a show about doctors in San Francisco called Meds, which will air Wednesdays at 10 PM ET. Presidio Med even has E.R producers John Wells and Lydia Woodward.

In other words, even network programming has gone into repeats.
