I agree with Chris Caldara's suggestion that "St. Elsewhere" was "the template for all future television medical dramas"1. which changed how we perceived life behind the doors of a city hospital. The fragility of life exposed in "St. Elsewhere" took a gigantic leap forward in "ER", producing perhaps THE best television medical drama of our time. Now comes "HawthoRNe", a new story told from the perspective of a Chief Nursing Officer. I have followed this show from concept write-ups to TNT cable promotion, and I believe "HawthoRNe" to be the next BIG hit for the medical drama genre. Created by John Masius, whose other credits include "Touched By An Angel" and "Providence", and starring Jada Pinkett Smith, who heads a strong supporting cast, I have high hopes for "HawthoRNe", and anxiously await its DVD release !!!

1. Chris Caldara. "best tv series period" forum June 21 2009. TV Series Community at Amazon.com

I ended up watching a few episodes from my friends DVD and after the first 2 I was hooked. I gave her the disks back and went and bought my own set. I just loved the characters and the plot is great. Jada has always been a good actor and should get more roles, she is simply phenomenal. I love Ray and Isabel helps make the show. But, Dr. Wakefield, totally has me hooked. That man can act and he is simply beautiful. If you want to laugh, cry, scream, and get butterflies then this series is definitely for you.

You will love this series!!!! Jada Pinkett is amazing!!!
You will not be sorry, you will be addicted after the 1st episode!!

Wow! What a *GREAT* show.
The show is great for all you ER and Grey's
Anatomy lover's. There's never a dull moment in Hawthorne.
Jada shows just how women multi-task on a daily
basis, just to get the job done. I just wished
that they would put more episodes in a season
than 10. Other than that everything is *Great*
it's about time Jada is back on the set, she's
been gone for a while!!!!!

This show really shows off Jada's personality. Jada is feisty and this show lets her express that. Also, Michael Vartan is one of my favorite actors and he is in this show - which gives me just enough reason to watch it :P. If you want a show with great actors, fantastic dialog, and will keep you on your toes, you should DEFINITELY buy this. :)

Jada Pinkett Smith is what brought me to the show and it's Nurse Hawthorne that has kept me coming back for more week after week. I love that the show is from a nurse's view and that she will go to great lengths to get the best care for her patients. For too long medical dramas only care about the five or so minutes that doctors spend with people and totally ignored the backbone of our medical profession --- nurses. We should all be so lucky to have a Nurse Hawthorne stepping up to plate for us and demanding we all get the best medical treatment no matter our lot in life. In the last two years I have met some great nurses who took care of me during my multiple long stays in the hospital and I can't express my upmost respect that I have for them and their profession.

Once, I received my HawthoRNe dvd I watched it over and over and over. Now I am waiting on Season 2 dvd to be finally released and Season 3 in June 2011.

Long Live HawthoRNe!!!

HAWTHORNE IS A MUST SEE. JADA PINKETT-SMITH IS PERFECT FOR THE ROLL. I WILL COLLECT ALL SEASONS AND YOU SHOULD TOO.

This is actually the first hospital drama show, I ever sat down and watched. I saw the previews leading up to it, and wanted to give it a try. I love the show, the characters, the plots, and how well it keeps you wanting more. By the end of the first season, I was totally hooked, and looking forward to the second season. When I found out season 1 was on DVD, I was thrilled, and when season 2 comes out I'll be getting that one as well. I think its a very well written show, with great acting, which draws you in, and you feel what the characters feel at times. You gotta love hopsital drama, lol and this show by far, is very entertaining.

I think this show is fantastic. I can not wait until Tuesdays for this shown to come on.

This is my first time watching a medical tv series. This being my first view of the concept, i liked it. It has good actors, with a good story with Jada Pinkett Smith and Micheal Vartan. It has its funny moments which makes part of this story good. Character lead Christina Hawthorne (jada)has a hard time after her husband's death. Being a mom and a full time nurse takes a toll on her. In each episode there's a medical issue, leading to a dramatic confilct with some humor in the mix, but some sad moments. I love how the nurses take care for their patients and how serious Hawthorne takes her patients; with concern and compassion. Episode #9 really touched me becuase it had one of the most heartbreaking moments within the show. I just strated watching season two on TNT and i love it. I hope it continues a third season.
