City of Angels (2000 TV series)

City of Angels was an American medical drama television series that aired on CBS from January 16, 2000, to May 23, 2000. Created by Steven Bochco, the series focused on the predominantly African-American staff and patients of an inner-city hospital in Los Angeles. The show aimed to portray the challenges and triumphs of medical professionals working in an under-resourced environment, dealing with issues of race, poverty, and healthcare access.

The cast included Blair Underwood as Dr. Ben Casey, Vivica A. Fox as Dr. Lillian Price, Maya Rudolph as Nurse Grace Patterson, and Michael Warren as Dr. Ron Harris. Notable guest stars appeared throughout the series' run.

Despite receiving critical acclaim for its realistic portrayal of urban healthcare and strong performances, "City of Angels" suffered from low ratings and was canceled after one season, consisting of 13 episodes. Some attribute the show's cancellation to its timeslot and competition from more established programs. While short-lived, the series is remembered for its attempts to diversify the medical drama landscape and address important social issues.
