'Miami Medical' reminiscent of 'M*A*S*H'

Maybe it was a flash of ESP.

While watching the first episode of Miami Medical, which debuts Friday (CBS, A), a thought struck us:

The setup is kind of like M*A*S*H, but in modern-day Florida. And Jeremy Northam’s character — Dr. Matthew Proctor — is the Charles Emerson Winchester III of the group.

We swear, at the exact moment that notion struck us, Northam’s character exclaimed, “This is like M*A*S*H in paradise!”

Great minds think alike.

Miami Medical definitely is a drama, though, not a comedy. But then again, M*A*S*H became less of a comedy as the years rolled by, didn’t it?
