    The death of the star of a Touched by an Angel type television program due to a leaking gluteal implant brings hordes of reporters to Chicago Hope. Fans of the actor vilify McNeil for his candid take on the actor's death.

    b: 18 Nov 98 pc: 5ABM08 w: Ellen Herman d: Bill D'Elia

    NOTE: This episode was the first broadcast of a network series in HDTV. The episode was presented as an Entertainment Tonight special. Like most gimmick episodes, this one didn't work. Songwriter David Crosby, baseball player Eric Karros, and CBS executive Les Moonves appeared as themselves.

    b: 9 Dec 98 pc: 5ABM10 w: Linda Loiselle Guzik d: Sandy Smolan

    NOTE: Has there ever been a storyline more predictable than this one? As soon as Wilkes purchased a gun, it was obvious that something like this would happen. I suppose Chicago Hope producers needed a forum to broadcast their views on gun control.
  11. "McNeil and Pray"
    gs: Tamlyn Tomita [ Jennifer Watanabe ], Todd Louiso [ Andy Sparks ], Oren Williams [ Raymond Wilkes ], Henry Brown [ Carl Martin ], John Fujioka [ Mr. Watanabe ], Alyssa Ashley Nichols [ Cherise Martin ], Stacey Tate [ Nurse ]

    b: 13 Jan 99 pc: 5ABM12 w: Ian Biederman d: James C. Hart

    NOTE: In a hospital scene in the 3 Jan 99 episode of The X-Files, "Terms of Endearment" written by former Chicago Hope scribe David Amann, one can hear Dr. Nyland being paged over a loudspeaker. In an earlier 1998 episode of Homicide: Life on the Street, written by former Hope writer Sara B. Charno, one of the detectives made a glib comment about the inanity of doctor television programs, or something to that effect.
  13. "Karmic Relief"

    Jack faces his childhood demons when he returns home to be with his overbearing father when Jack's brother Sean is killed in a prison fracas. Billy puts his friend's life in Kate's hands when she performs a radical heart operation, removing the patient's heart, cutting out a tumor and replacing the heart. Phillip strips Cacaci of his Chief of Surgery title after Joe peddles his 'Doorway' home-care products to staff and patients.

    b: 10 Mar 99 pc: 5ABM17 w: Remi Aubuchon d: Richard Gershman

    NOTE: This episode was originally scheduled to air on 3 Mar 99, but was pushed back a week so that CBS could air stronger competition (Touched by an Angel repeat) to ABC's Monica Lewinsky interview.
  18. "Teacher's Pet"
    gs: Richard Crenna [ Dr. Martin Rockwell ], Travis McKenna [ Mr. Wheaton ], Tracy Middendorf [ Jesse Porter ], Oren Williams [ Ray Wilkes ], Alex Skuby [ Mark Porter ], Zach Selwyn [ Paramedic #1 ], John Cappon [ Paramedic #2 ], Evan Acosta [ Paramedic #3 ], Kenneth Alan Williams [ Reporter #1 ], Kyme [ Reporter #2 ], J.T. Larsen [ Eli ], Raoul N. Rizik [ Mr. Gomez ]

    NOTE: Reports continue to persist that Chicago Hope will return for another year thanks to creator David E. Kelley's willingness to take a larger role in the program next season. Reportedly Kelley will write this year's season ender and next year's opening. It was also mentioned in the same release that Chicago Hope will undergo numerous cast changes with Lahti, Brook, Curtis-Hall & Edwards leaving the program and Berg (who it had been reported was leaving Hope in February but didn't) and Stoltz mulling the possibility.

6th Season 1999

  1. "Team Play"
    gs: Bruce Davison [ Dr. Burt Peters ], Veronica Cartwright [ Karen Flanders ], Robin Thomas [ Unknown ], Jessica Stone [ Alicia Geiger ], Alex Buck [ Unknown ], Laurel Moglen [ Unknown ], Rich Hutchman [ Unknown ], Peter Birkenhead [ Unknown ], Freda Foh Shen [ Dr. Aldmen ], Phill Lewis [ Unknown ], Sharmila Devarajan [ Nurse #1 ], Terrilyn Towns [ Nurse #2 ], Ariel Felix [ Tech ], Michelle Wolff [ Paramedic ], Y. Hero Abe [ Japanese Businessman #1 ], Ken Enomot [ Japanese Businessman #2 ], Bill Saito [ Japanese Businessman #3 ]

    rc: Stu

    New doctor Gina Simon can't bring herself to tell a relative that her husband died in post-op due to the surgeon's negligence. Jeffrey's daughter convinces him to operate on a child (which brings back memories of Austin's daughter convincing her to operate).

    b: 23 Sep 99 pc: 6ABM01 w: David E. Kelley d: Lou Antonio
  2. "Y'Gotta Have Heart"
    gs: Jack McGee [ Stanley McGaftin ], James Sloyan [ Henry Strauss ], Natalija Nogulich [ Principal ], Randee Heller [ Unknown ], Kitty Swink [ Unknown ], Andy Umberger [ Unknown ], Jack Rader [ Waiter ], Monique Edwards [ Nurse Laurel Canyon ], Joe Bays [ Courier ], Jessica Stone [ Alicia Geiger ], Thomas Vincent Kelly [ Paramedic ], Elyse Marie Mirto [ Nurse O'Conner ], Ariel Felix [ Anesthesiologist ], Regan Burns [ Orderly ], John Bradford Pagano [ Surgeon ]

    rc: Cacaci

    Geiger opts to give a donor heart to a wealthy patient rather than a more-in-need newspaper vendor. When the healthy patient's body rejects the heart, Geiger faces up to his poor decision. Aaron wants to date Simon.

    b: 30 Sep 99 pc: 6ABM02 w: Gardner Stern d: Michael Pressman

    NOTE: A very blatant attempt to tug at the viewer's heartstrings. The characters react without motivation. Geiger's typical rant comes off as a tantrum without Kelley as scriptwriter.
  3. "Oh What a Piece of Work Is Man"
    gs: Rene Auberjonois [ Dr. Walter Kerry ], Debra Christofferson [ Mrs. Taylor ], Bruce McCarty [ Mr. Taylor ], Debi A. Monahan [ Unknown ], Jeanie Hackett [ Unknown ], Bryan Clark [ Dr. Alonzo DeGriff ], Shishir Kurup [ OB/GYN ], Octavia L. Spencer [ Nurse Jane ], Edythe Davis [ Nurse Nancy ], Dawn Landon [ O.R. Nurse Trish Adams ], John Cappon [ Paramedic ], George Marshall Ruge [ Waiter ]

    rc: Cacaci

    A visiting pediatric surgeon with Tourette's syndrome clashes with Geiger over operating on an infant. Wilkes is confronted by a coroner who claims to have Einstein's brain.

Kim [ Anesthesiologist ], Molly Pearlman [ Child #1 ]

    rc: Stu, Cacaci

    Jack faces punishment when a new robotics procedure fails and results in the loss of a prospective baseball player's arm. Aaron tries to teach a 5-year-old how to speak.

    b: 14 Oct 99 pc: 6ABM04 w: Randy Anderson d: Mel Damski

    NOTE: Chicago Hope breaks barriers, becoming the first television program to use a certain 4-letter obscenity. Many will claim this will break down walls and permit more artistic freedom. My question is 'How?'. Television is hardly artistry, it's merely a means of generating audiences for commercials. If America wants obscenities in their programs, they'll get them. I'm reminded of an episode of The Simpsons set in the future where one of the characters remarked "FOX converted to a hard-core sex network so gradually I never even noticed" or something to that effect.
  5. "Humpty Dumpty"
    gs: Graham Beckel [ Det. Doug Majeski ], Molly Hagan [ Bettina Wallace ], Doran Clark [ Unknown ], Myra Turley [ Unknown ], Julie Osburn [ Unknown ], Callan White [ Unknown ], Richard Gilbert-Hill [ Unknown ], Sharon Omi [ Nurse Price ], Michelle Wolff [ Paramedic ]

    rc: Stu

    The Hope staff faces mortality when confined to the hospital by an outbreak of Bubonic plague.

    b: 11 Nov 99 pc: 6ABM07 w: Mark Richard d: Michael Schultz

    NOTE: Though the casual viewer may confuse this with the 1st season episode "The Quarantine" wherein Hope staffers humorously face mortality when confined in the hospital by a plague, rest assured they're not the same.
  8. "The Heart to Heart"
    gs: Laurie O'Brien [ Mother ], Jessica Stone [ Alicia Geiger ], Kavi Raz [ Dr. Primasseri ], Michele Azar [ Mrs. Lindsey ], Nathan West [ Unknown ], Joseph Hodge [ Neelan ], Luck Hari [ Sri Lankan Surgical Assistant ], Mike McColl [ Maury Damkroger ], Ariel Felix [ Anesthesiologist ], Stuart Smith [ Heart/Lung Tech ], Jean Montanti [ Nurse/Recepcionist ], John Cappon [ Paramedic ], Tim McFadyen [ O.R.

    b: 9 Dec 99 pc: 6ABM09 w: Randy Anderson d: John Tewkesbury

    NOTE: Though this sharply resembles episode #33 as well as a 3rd season ER episode, this differs in that the doctors aren't placed in any direct danger (thereby eliminating any drama).
