In Providence, Mike Stratford (Matt Frewer) has a medical clinic with his three college friends. Dr. Abe Butterfield is married to Gail with son Justin. Dr. Grant Linowitz is the money obsessed one. Dr. Deirdre Bennett had two dates with Mike and mostly bad relationships. Mike lives with his gay brother Richard Stratford and they are both disappointments to their surgeon father. After writing his first novel, Mike gets a job as the on-air doctor in a local morning TV show.

This is fun. Frewer is most known as Max Headroom during the 80's. He's a tall goofy guy. The show needs him to have a girlfriend. They keep throwing out Deirdre for the spot but the two would never fit. In the first season, they do have Holly Fulger who has the personality to do the job. She should be the nurse which would open up some romantic possibilities in the office. Faye is an one-note character with no romantic potential. In the third season, they add Anne Ramsay but do nothing to develop a romantic story. All in all, the show needs a little sex to spice things up. The easiest pairing should be Grant and Pia. They are the perfect superficial duo and would be hilarious together. I do like the four friends together and Frewer's wackiness. It could have added another dimension but it never gets there.
