Reviews

In his review on DVDTalk.com, Stuart Galbraith IV points out that the medical methods shown may have been very modern in the 1960s and 1970s, but were standard or even outdated in 2016. The same applies to the hospital drama, so that The Bold Ones: The New Doctors now just seem old-fashioned. As an example, he cites the pilot episode, which deals with organ transplants and the associated formalities.

David Hartman was nominated for Best Actor in a Television Series - Drama at the 1973 Golden Globe Awards . However, the award went to Peter Falk for his performance in the Columbo series .
