Ah... but there IS one image of him on the web, although it's from 2005 and he's a fair bit older. At least it sure LOOKS like the same Don Dolan. It's from an appearance he did in a play for Oregon Stageworks. Here's the link: http://www.oregonstageworks.org/gall...g2_itemId=1069

Not sure who it is, but perhaps this will help? There are a few actors listed for that episode without character names - so they may or may not be who you're looking for... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0707968/fullcredits

http://www.epguides.com/StElsewhere/season3.shtml#ep068 Final episode of Season 3, titled - appropriately enough - "Cheers". In addition to Carla and Norm (mentioned in Tony's link) it also featured Cliff. But Carla was the focus.

Yes, the Cheers / St. Elsewhere crossover was on a later season episode of St. Elsewhere. It was a season closer (perhaps season 3?) and Westphall announced to Craig and Auschlander that he was going to quit. Re: the featurettes. Glad to have them - the Tim Robbins one was fantastic. He seems...

Nice catches, Jeff. I got my Season 1 set today and when I got home tonight I did an A-B of the pilot episode with my syndicated version. I was surprised to discover that my syndicated ep was 100% intact but definitely time compressed. I just came on here to post my findings, but you beat me to...

I ordered it a few weeks ago from amazon.com and it arrived this morning. $27.99 US + $2.50 shipping (I ordered a bunch of stuff on one order, so the shipping was split between them). No tax for Canadians. Total $30.49 US = $34.64 CDN. By comparison: $39.99 CDN at HMV + 14% tax = $45.59...

My "syndicated" version is also from our local PBS station, but I think it must have been cut slightly, given the running time of 46 minutes. The PBS version doesn't have the opening "Tonight on St. Elsewhere" preview, which runs :50 seconds on the DVD version of the "Samuels.." episode. If I...

OK, I checked my syndicated version of "Samuels and the Kid", It seemed like a good one to compare, since Kevin has already discovered some changes on the DVD version. Here's the verdict: the syndicated version DOES have the original music: "More Than A Feeling". However, the song is mixed...

I get the impression that they're the original network versions (in terms of length) but with music replacement where necessary. The syndicated versions that I have on tape run between 46:30 and 47:30 per episode (give or take a few seconds). Very little seemed to be cut from the syndicated...

That's a real shame. I have the syndicated episodes on tape, but I haven't watched them in ages. I recall that Heartbreaker is still in the Dreams episode, but can't recall if it was Page or a sound-alike. When you say it was replaced by a generic guitar player, did he still play the...

Here in Canada, neither bestbuy.ca nor futureshop.ca (our other big chain) have St. Elsewhere in their database. (LOL - when you do a search for St. Elsewhere at Future Shop, you get "The White Shadow" because the description mentions that it was "created by Bruce Paltrow of St. Elsewhere"!)...

Thanks for the review/update, Steven!

So??? How about a quick review for those of us still waiting for delivery...?

There's actually not a whole lot of music that would need licencing. I've been watching all the old episodes recently, and most of the music is incidental and original. One of the few episodes that had licenced music was the "dream" episode where they used ZZ Top's "Legs". There's also some...

Yeah, I check Gord's site daily for any news. Frustrating. I've been grabbing the videotape rips that are being posted at alt.binaries.multimedia. Currently up to Season 4. Better than nothing...

After 3 emails, I finally got amazon.co.uk to check with Channel 4 DVD on the status of this title. The result: amazon has now changed their listing to read "this title is currently unavailable". Really, they should just remove the listing completely. It's definitely not on the release radar in...

I emailed amazon.co.uk to ask about the R2 release. I told them that Channel 4 DVD said they know nothing about this title. Amazon wrote back to say that they checked this listing, and that it is definitely scheduled for an Aug 7th release. Someone doesn't have their facts straight! Guess I'll...

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=5390 Gord rarely posts rumours - unless the source is solid. By the way - have you checked out alt.binaries.multimedia lately? Do a search for St. Elsewhere.

I pre-ordered the R2 discs from amazon.co.uk. The release date was pushed to Aug 7th, but I was suspicious so I emailed Channel 4 DVD, who are listed on the amazon site as the company handling the release. (They also released the first two seasons of HSB in the UK.) After some runaround, they...

An excellent book that's well worth seeking out: "Televisions Second Golden Age: from Hill Street Blues to ER" by Robert J. Thompson. Published by Continuum in 1996. I got it from my local library. It has a great section on St. Elsewhere, with lots of detail on the sly cross-references to...

I loved the throwaway music references. One of my favorites was as Erlich and Lucy were walking into the hospital and chatting about (if I recall correctly) (a) Lucy's cold and (b) a problem she was having with a patient. In the course of about 30 seconds, there were two music references: Lucy...

With regards to the licencing of these shows, I think it's clear from an early post in this thread that Fox has the DVD rights. The Fox rep clearly stated that HSB is a show they would consider releasing if other titles did well. I don't think he'd say they would consider releasing it if they...
