Initially the series opened the season by dominating the 10:00/9:00c hour and seemed well on its way to a solid future.

A page devoted exclusively to the show's RATINGS has been added. Matt Roush of TV GUIDE had this to say about "MI" in today's column: [I don't love the show, but I certainly think it's a step up from NBC dregs like Hawaii and LAX. Like its dreadful title, there's something a little too generic about MI's procedural nature, but some of the medical mysteries can be compelling and the cast (most particularly McDonough, but also Williams and Christopher Gorham) almost always manages to make things interesting, although even McDonough's snarling tirades may grow old over time. It is a step down, qualitywise, from Boomtown, but that's the current state of NBC for you. We should be grateful the show's as interesting as it is. And I'd be very surprised if it doesn't get a full-season pickup soon. It's doing relatively well on Fridays, against weak competition (dr. vegas) on CBS. And while Hawaii probably won't make it, I don't see NBC moving this show just yet.] SITE UPDATE - A TRANSCRIPT of the third episode, 'Coming Home', has been added. 10/07/04 - An ARTICLE in the Washington Post listed the "winners" and "losers" in last week's television ratings. "Medical Investigation" is one of the winners: [In its first Friday broadcast, NBC's new procedural disease drama copped 10.8 million viewers. The next two weeks it suffered a ratings nosebleed, as viewers opted instead to make a fuss over Barbara Walters's exit from "20/20" and to give Rob Lowe one more chance at headlining his own series. With that business out of the way, last week "MI" clawed its way back up from 8 million and change to the preferable 10 million and change.] Also, four PHOTOS from the next new episode, "Team", have been added. 10/02/04 - NBC issued a PRESS RELEASE stating: [NBC has won another Friday in prime time's key demographic of adults 18-49, led by the hot new drama "Medical Investigation," which scored last night's #1 results in 18-49 and overall total viewers, according to preliminary "fast affiliate-based" in-home viewing figures from Nielsen Media Research.

 Neal
McDonough stars in this medical
mystery/drama as Dr.
Stephen Connor, a man who unravels medical
mysteries. Based on true accounts, these are the stories of the
National Institute of Health, Americas most elite unit of medical
experts. But these doctors do not operate in a hospital. At
a moments notice, they are summoned anywhere in the country, authorized
to take over treatment of any case. Each assignment is a
life-or-death rescue against time. Investigations are complicated
by a harried government administrator who consistently pushes Connor to
go by the book, -- which is unlikely to happen. A saltshaker, a
cigarette butt, a flower petal -- anything could be the clue to crack
the case. Part cop show, part medical drama - and a great hour of
mystery.If you have any comments, corrections or contributions
