CONCEPT ...a.k.a. ''We're Really Sorry We Canceled 'Boomtown', Neal McDonough.'' Here, McDonough's the head of an ''elite unit'' of the National Institutes of Health. ''The Practice'''s Kelli Williams costars. Typical urgently barked line: ''The blood is brackish!'' Even better: ''Find out what condiments they use!''
THE SCOOP ''It's not about the dead person of the week, it's how you save the person,'' says exec producer Laurence Andries. ''We've got an episode coming up of a viral outbreak at a resort. Our research said cruise ships are basically high-class petri dishes of infections. Especially the whirlpools, Jacuzzis, handrails, and doorknobs.'' Yum.
BOTTOM LINE If you keel over in the street, these are the docs you want to have treat you. And if you want to snooze, this show will put you out faster than a mallet to the back of your head.
