Man—Woman. Birth—Death. Infinity... and so began each episode of Ben Casey.

Dr. Casey was a resident neurosurgeon at County General Hospital along with the brilliant Dr. Zorba, the chief of Neurosurgery. His hard nosed demeanor and no nonsense approach made him almost unlikeable. A Bing Crosby Production this show was well received by the viewing public.

The show's directors included Sydney Pollack, Arthur Hiller, Jerry Lewis, Paul Wendkos, Stuart Rosenberg, Irwin Kershner, Fielder Cook, Irving Lerner, Mark Rydell, and Robert Ellis Miller.

Vince Edwards, Sam Jaffe and the series all received Emmy nominations.less «

• Forerunner to House?

  Take the surly, intense, often caustic Casey - throw in some of Lionel Barrymore's Dr. Gillespie (from the Dr. Kildare movies) and someone tell me you don't have a pretty good prototype for House?

  I'm probably going to be the only one to post here.  This is a really old show...black and white....unless someone's grandma joins TV.COM and loves Ben Casey, I'm pretty much it.  Hmm...perhaps I should just keep posting by myself? The most memorable epi for me? The one with Davy Jones in it.  I don't remember the plot but I do remember Davy...what an adorable little guy! :lol: less «

  9.8 Superb

  I have always liked the dr. ben casey show, and I think that it will do good today, I think that it will just as popular as it was when it first aired,I work in a hospital and I think of this show every time I push my cart through a set of doors. hide « show »

  The Dr. Ben Casey show, has never left my memory, I think of it often,a show like this is what we need today, as a matter of fact, i think that the dr casey charactor would have been a good one for chicago hope, I like that show very much also, these two shows were great,but there will never be a show like Dr. Ben Casey.
  
  I just learned of vincent edwards death today and it was a shock, I thought that he was still with us, I sure will miss him.

  Do you agree?

  10 Perfect

  One of the best B&W shows I've ever seen. I used to watch these in the 80's when NBC would show them in the early morning hours of like 3 or 4 am...I wish I could see these episodes now. hide « show »

  This was a great show. Vince Edwards was just awesome as was Sam Jaffe. I don't recall if there were any episodes done in color as I only remember the B&W ones.
  Gotta see if these are out on DVD....I think there were 5 episodes. I'm pretty confident that there won't be many people posting reviews for this show unless there are some older folk out there. This show was over in 1966, 6 months before I was born....
