Birdland

No Nudity

Review

Sometimes a good show is canceled, just because. This is one of those just-because cases. Birdland was doing okay, getting alright ratings (not great but manageable) when suddenly after five episodes it went into hiatus. A month passed then it returned, only to show just two more episodes before the axe came down. Jeez, give a series a break, will you ABC? Doctor Brian McKenzie (Brian Dennehy) is chief of psychiatry at Roosevelt Hospital. He’s a gambler, divorcee, children hate him and he’s nailing Doctor Jessie Lane (Lindsay Frost). Then we have the straight-laced administrator, the clueless resident, the Nurse Ratchett type and the ‘dominant’ patient who sends psychic signals to Kathie Lee Gifford on the TV set. Fun stuff, cut short by managerial idiocy, like so many of its kind.
