Riverside Hospital in Essex County, California, is called “Birdland” not only because it treats psychiatric patients but also because pigeons perch on the building’s window ledges.
Stories follow incidents in the life of Dr Brian McKenzie (Brian Dennehy), the burly, blunt chief of psychiatry. He is a divorced man who loves gambling and having a good time, “and if you need help, he’s the best friend you will ever have.”
He is in a relationship with younger Dr Jesse Lane (Lindsay Frost), a second-year resident in cardiology.
Other regular characters include by-the-book administration chief Dr Bergman (Leslie Mann); Nurse Lucy (CCH Pounder); Nurse Mary (Leslie Mann), and Dr Lewis Niles (Jeff Williams).
Scott Grimes appeared in two episodes as McKenzie’s son, Scott.
