I can remember in the 1980s staying up till midnight to watch reruns of St. Elsewhere on weekdays, most of which I had to be up by 6am for work. The series was THAT good that I made the sacrifice.
The final episode, like many final episodes of long-running series, has been controversial, with some viewers loving it and many hating it. One review here states that the last episode is absurd because it's impossible for viewers to believe that everything they've been watching for six years is a figment of someone's imagination.
Well, that has to be the ultimate compliment to any writer (or crew of writers): that viewers and readers can't believe what they made up is not real! I guess St. Elsewhere was THAT "real" to people!
