“Chicago Hope” ran for six seasons, so whereas it could not have been an “E.R.”-level hit, it will need to have a fanbase someplace who would need to stream the David E. Kelley-created collection. One prescient 2018 publish on X (previously Twitter) from @tosyandcosh even states, “I see you ER, however when are we getting Chicago Hope streaming?!?!” It seems the rationale for the present’s notable absence on any streaming platform comes all the way down to the bane of many collection’ existences — music licensing rights.
The “Dawson’s Creek” theme tune had an issue with rights, forcing Netflix to make use of one other tune till it might type out the rights to make use of Paula Cole’s iconic “I Do not Wish to Wait.” Comparable points plague many reveals, together with “Chicago Hope.” The truth is, the medical drama finds itself in an actual pickle as a result of Dr. Jeffrey Geiger (Mandy Patinkin) would usually sing present tunes whereas performing surgical procedures. Any streaming service would additionally have to license these songs, and as of the second, it could seem nobody desires to pony up the dough.
It is even robust to search out bodily copies of “Chicago Hope.” Amazon has them out there, however they don’t seem to be appropriate with DVD gamers utilized in the US. Regardless of successful seven Emmys and working for a great size of time, “Chicago Hope” hasn’t precisely remained prevalent within the zeitgeist because it resulted in 2000. Due to this fact, anybody wanting to take a look at a youthful Mark Harmon must look elsewhere.
