FYI, Shiraz and Syrah are the same varietal. Petite Syrah is a distinction used pretty much only in wines from the Rhone region and are used to distinguish them from Gros Syrah. But they're all Syrah/Shiraz grapes.

Of course, there's also Petite Sirah (AKA Durif), which is a completely different grape.

Anyway:

New list: TV Medical Shows (drama or comedy)

1. M*A*S*H
2. Doogie Howser MD
3. Temperatures Rising
4. E/R
5. Scrubs
6. House
7. Quincy

No, E/R and ER were two different series, though George Clooney was in both of them.
