Featured Friday: Medical TV Shows
Weekend Read, our app for reading scripts on your phone, features a new curated collection of screenplays each week.
This week, we look at TV shows set in hospitals to see how writers can make one of the most complicated and difficult professions accessible to an audience, and how the relentless life or death stakes can create some of the most compelling drama and comedy.
Our collection includes:
- ER - “24 Hours” by Michael Crichton
- Grey’s Anatomy - “A Hard Day’s Night” by Shonda Rhimes
- House - “Pilot” by David Shore
- Scrubs - “My First Day” by Bill Lawrence
- St. Denis Medical - “Welcome to St. Denis” by Eric Ledgin & Justin Spitzer
- The Good Doctor - “Burnt Food” by David Shore
- The Knick - “Pilot” by Jack Amiel & Michael Begler
- The Mindy Project - “Pilot” by Mindy Kaling
- The Pitt - “7:00 A.M.” by R. Scott Gemmill
