Contents

Premise

Psychiatrist Greg Corwin (John Horton) established a general practice for the inner city. Other regular characters included Corwin's older assistant Doc James (Alan King), Mrs. Mackie or "Mac" (Ruth Springford) and Sergeant Bromley (Robert Warner).[1]

The debut episode, "Does Anybody Here Know Denny?", guest starred Margot Kidder.[2]

Scheduling

Hour-long episodes were broadcast Sundays at 9:00 p.m. (Eastern) from 5 October to 2 November 1969 in the first season, and 22 November 1970 to 3 January 1971 for the second and final season.

The second season's run of Corwin was complicated by its inclusion in the Sunday at Nine timeslot which became a mixture of drama, variety and documentaries. Although Corwin received a significant budget, the series consistency was hampered by the departures of director René Bonnière and writer Sandy Stern.[1]
