I loved this show! My niece's pediatrician was at Hollywood Presbyterian hospital where they shot the outside scenes. I didn't know that until I saw the Titanic with Gonzo standing in front of it. I had the BIGGEST crush on him, I thought I was going to die! I think I was about eleven or 12 at the time
