  • Mercy Point is an American science fiction medical drama, created by Trey Callaway, David Simkins, and Milo Frank, which originally aired for one season on United Paramount Network (UPN) from October 6, 1998, to July 15, 1999. With an ensemble cast led by Joe Morton, Maria del Mar, Alexandra Wilson, Brian McNamara, Salli Richardson, Julia Pennington, Gay Thomas, Jordan Lund, and Joe Spano, the series focuses on the doctors and nurses in a 23rd-century hospital space station located in deep space. The executive producers were Trey Callaway, Michael Katleman, Lee David Zlotoff, Joe Voci, and Scott Sanders. Callaway adapted Mercy Point from his original screenplay, "Nightingale One". It was picked up by Mandalay Television, and the concept was eventually revised as a television project and renamed Mercy Point; production on the film project had ended due to the poor commercial performance of the 1997 film Starship Troopers. The television show was part of a three-million-dollar deal between Mandalay and Columbia TriStar Television to produce 200 hours of material. It was filmed in Vancouver to reduce production costs, the hospital sets being constructed on a series of sound stages. Director Joe Napolitano has praised the show for its use of a complete set to allow for more intricate directing. Despite Callaway envisioning Mercy Point as a companion to Star Trek: Voyager, it was paired with Moesha and Clueless as its lead-in on Tuesday nights. Initially focused on ethical and medical cases, the show's storylines gradually shifted toward relating the characters' personal relationships, to better fit UPN's primarily teen demographic. Mercy Point was placed on hiatus after only three episodes were aired, and was replaced by the reality television series America's Greatest Pets and the sitcom Reunited. The show suffered from low ratings, with an average of two million viewers. The final four episodes of the series were broadcast in two 2-hour blocks on Thursday nights in July 1999. It has never been released on DVD or Blu-ray, but was made available to stream on Crackle. Critical response to Mercy Point was mixed; some commentators praised its characterization and use of science-fiction elements, while others found it to be uninteresting and unoriginal. Callaway stated that he had the potential story arcs for the full first season already planned before the show's cancellation. (en)

  • 《仁心港湾》(英語:Mercy Point)是1998年10月6日至1999年7月15日在联合派拉蒙电视网首播的美国科幻醫療劇,特雷·卡拉韦、大卫·辛金斯、米罗·弗兰克主创,仅播一季便取消。节目采用、玛利亚·德玛儿、、、莎莉·理查德森、朱莉娅·彭宁顿、盖伊·托马斯、乔丹·朗德、组成的全明星阵容,讲述23世纪深空医疗太空站医生与护士日常工作生活种种,卡拉韦、迈克尔·卡特曼、李·大卫·兹洛托夫、乔·沃奇、斯科特·桑德斯任执行制作人。 卡拉韦把自创剧本《南丁格尔一号》改编,引起兴趣,构想经过修改最终定名《仁心港湾》,原有电影项目因1997年影片《星河战队》商业表现欠佳取消。曼德勒与哥伦比亚三星签署三百万美元合同制作两百小时节目,其中包括《仁心港湾》。为节省制作成本,节目在温哥华摄制,并在众多片場系統搭建医院外景。导演称赞节目搭建完整外景,满足错综复杂的执导需求。根据卡拉韦的设想,本剧是《星艦奇航記:重返地球》姐妹篇,但实际是与《》和《》在晚播出。节目剧情重心逐渐转变,最初关注伦理与医疗案例,后来转向人物私生活,适应联合派拉蒙电视网以青少年为主的观众群喜好。 《仁心港湾》仅播三集就暂停播映,真人剧《美国伟大宠物》和情景喜剧《》取而代之。《仁心港湾》收视率太低,平均每集仅吸引两百万观众。1999年7月,已拍摄的最后四集分两批在周四晚播出,每批两集(两小时)。本剧至今没有发行DVD或蓝光影碟,也未提供流媒体。评论家对节目反响不一,称赞人物塑造与科幻元素者有之,批评枯燥乏味毫无新意者有之。卡拉韦自称节目取消前已构想第一季完整剧情。 (zh)
