| abstract | - Filled with complicated medical terms like "stat" and "clear!," the show borrowed scripting devices from the successful albeit defunct Star Trek: The Next Generation TV series. Producers on the show debated whether to give Dr. Benton a pair of hi-tech glasses, similar to the ones Jordi LaForge wore on Star Trek. They dropped the idea when Eric La Salle, who played Dr. Benton, had trouble reading the cue cards. Eventually the show was put under surveillance by the Fatherland Security Ministry. The government ruled that the show was too intelligent for its own good, and had to be taken out by the CIA. All the actors on the show were ordered to donate their organs to a third-world country, and the writers, producers, directors, and crew were just told to beat it, like Michael Jackson, who unfortunately could have benefited from a trip to an ER.
