Not a good programme. Outdated and moronic. Dawson's character is flawed and unbelievable. The focus on his smoking is such a 20th century marketing ploy. So anachronistic. The only saving grace is the professional and skillful handling of the main receptionist character, by a very accomplished actress. The under receptionist, a somewhat dysfunctional but likeable character is also a fine actress. Otherwise considering the plot and the dialogue and using the doctor's smoking as his main angle, give this show a miss.
