I know a lot of people criticize programs like this one because they are not sophisticated enough or not politically correct, but for me comedies have one criteria and that is to make people laugh.Well this program makes me laugh. It is not politically correct (as most funny comedies aren't) in this it is similar to 'Married with children' another funny series.David Rasche is very good in this as is Carlos Lacamara, but all the cast are good and even Salma Hayek is in a few episodes.Nurses is a very funny and under rated comedy, in my opinion.

If the Golden Girls gave birth to Empty Nest, then Empty Nest gave birth to Nurses, a sitcom, which featured the talented and underused Stephanie Hodge who left the show. Arnetia Walker was very good as one of the nurses as Ada Maris. The show also included Loni Anderson as a hospital administrator. The show was never as good as Empty Nest nor was it as brilliant as Golden Girls but sitcoms were abundant in it's day. Unfortunately those sitcoms haven't resurfaced or returned to the popularity it once had on the networks since the Golden Girls and Cosby Show days. Unfortunately, I think we need laughter that is not so based on sexuality like Will and Grace and annoyance like Friends. Good comedy does not have to be dirty or x-rated. The Nurses never became the huge hit nor was it supposed to be. It was there to fill a spot in Saturday's sitcom schedule.

I was pretty young when this show ran, but I remember thinking it wasn't as good as some of the other shows I watched. I was surprised it ran for that many seasons, seeing as how it was mediocre.Stephanie Hodge was not funny at all. She tried to be the witty, sharp tongued, independent feminist, but came across as loud and obnoxious. She was no different on that absolutely lame show called Unhappily Ever After. Arnetia Walker did not do her best work here. I remember seeing her in an episode of NYPD Blue and being amazed at how good an actress she was. This show was just not a showcase for talent.I think with a little retooling and some cast changes, it could have been much better.

Don't know about that other person, but I remember Nurses as maybe the most unfunny sitcom ever. I mean, it wasn't like horrible, it was just horribly unfunny. Its like watching a white wall, its not really offensive, its just more bland than thick oatmeal.
