Hospitals have always been a popular place to set a TV show, from heart-pounding dramas like ER to more comedic stays like Scrubs. Both of those shows aired (initially) on NBC, and now the network is back at the hospital with a brand-new show, a comedy titled St. Denis Medical.
In addition to being set in a hospital, St. Denis Medical also brings back another popular format that NBC is well known for — the mockumentary. NBC's two most famous examples of the mockumentary series were The Office and Parks & Rec, both of which were adored by viewers. Can St. Denis Medical use the formula to become a hit itself?
