DVD Reviews of General Hospital: Night Shift - The Complete First Season

DVD Review: great
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great item tied in with General Hospital. I really liked this, it answered questions that were never addressed on the General Hospital show itself.

DVD Review: Pretty good
Summary: 4 Stars

I enjoyed this dvd and it was nice to see a different view of General Hospital.

DVD Review: The Night Shift... great company
Summary: 5 Stars

The Night Shift was one of my favorites on TV... I'm glad that i now own the entire first season on DVD. It's great company for a General Hospital fan. The storyline is not based on the show... but includes some of the same characters which is good. I like though that they interlope it at the end.

DVD Review: If you love hospital drama, you'll love NightShift!
Summary: 5 Stars

As a fan of General Hospital, and of their previous spin-off Port Charles, I was looking forward to the newest series Night Shift. I loved the drama and angst that came to those who worked on the graveyard shift at the hospital. I thought the storyline of Cody and Lainey the most enjoyable, and Jason Morgan and Spinelli added comedic relief throughout the series. Also as a fan of Robin and Patrick, I really enjoyed watching Jason Thompson and Kimberly McCullough do some of their best work in the acting department. The cameo appearances by some of the other GH cast, like Carolyn Hennesy, Lindze Letherman among others certainly added to the cast integration of this series. To watch and enjoy Billie Dee Williams is icing on the cake.

If you like hospital drama each and every episode, then I would suggest you watch GH:Night Shift.

DVD Review: I loved Night Shift
Summary: 5 Stars

I loved Night Shift. I thought the writers did a far better job then with the counter part General Hospital. The stories were written extremely well. The entire cast was used often and even history from the daytime show (General Hospital) was added to enhance things. By far my favorite two characters were Jason Morgan and Robin Scorpio. I found the way the writers really focused on their connection and emotions in regards to one another was great. There is so much romantic potential there and I hope to see something come of it.

Description of General Hospital: Night Shift - The Complete First Season

From the creative minds who brought you the Emmy? Award-winning daytime drama General Hospital comes the highly anticipated SOAPnet primetime spin-off General Hospital: Night Shift. If you can t get enough of the excitement, schemes and romance of Port Charles during the day, you ll get an even more steamy and intimate look on the night shift. When the sun goes down in Port Charles, matters of life and death grip the hospital. And when the sun rises the next day, nothing is ever the same as the day before not for the patients or the doctors. Featuring an all star cast, including celebrated actor Billy Dee Williams as well as Steve Burton, Kimberly McCullough and Jason Thompson, Night Shift goes to places General Hospital s never gone before. Follow the trials and tribulations of the hospital staff as they cope with drug addiction, parenthood, promiscuity and a host of other personal complications. Their conflicts are heightened by a series of unfortunate accidents at the hospital that put everyone s lives at risk. Own every episode of Season One, including a behind-the-scenes peek at your favorite daytime stars, on this 3-disc DVD set. Paging all doctors: working the Night Shift at General Hospital is not for the faint of heart.

Spawned from the Emmy Award-winning day-time drama General Hospital, General Hospital: Night Shift ran for one season in 2007 on the cable network SOAPnet. Taking some of the young, sexy favorites from the original soap opera and adding in a few new characters, the nighttime soap focuses on Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough)--an HIV-positive physician who is impeccable at her job but troubled when it comes to love. Like many popular nighttime dramas (Melrose Place, Dynasty), Night Shift is big on deception, addictions, promiscuous behavior, and cleavage. Port Charles--another General Hospital offshoot that aired on ABC's daytime schedule--veered away from the hospital format and added in a subplot involving vampires and the occult. Night Shift sticks close to the General Hospital formula of love, lust, and a few operations thrown in for good measure. It moves at a quicker pace than its namesake, but that also may be one of the show's biggest drawbacks. Soap fans like their plot lines to move along at a languid pace. Since Night Shift aired weekly rather than daily, each episode seems more like a synopsis with too much going on. One minute Robin and her boyfriend are fine. The next, he's left her. Too much time is spent on a student nurse who may also be murdering patients, and too little is devoted to Robin's unhealthy attachment to a sick baby. As for the always debonair Billy Dee Williams, he is completely underused in his role as a sage-like janitor. (You read that right.) McCullough, who won her first Daytime Emmy at the age of 11, has literally grown up on General Hospital. Though the Night Shift plotlines are over the top even by soap standards, she shines in her role, adding levity where needed and doing a fine job of making some silly lines believable. --Jae-Ha Kim
