The pilot episode of "Chicago Hope" was broadcast the day before NBC's "ER" premiered in a special Sunday, 8:00 p.m. time slot.
However, after the first week, the two Chicago-based hospital dramas went "head to head" in their primetime 10:00 p.m. Thursday night slot; "ER" was the victor: its first season proved a ratings winner.
Despite receiving critical acclaim, the show was shifted to 9:00 p.m. on Thursdays, and ultimately to Monday nights in 1995 in a bid for higher ratings, while "ER" remained in its time slot.
"Chicago Hope" remained in the Monday slot and performed well, with ratings peaking at 11.9, with a 20 share.
In the second season, Kelley and Patinkin decided to leave the show. The show was moved to Wednesdays at 10:00 p.m. in 1997 to make room for the short-lived Steven Bochco drama serie, "Brooklyn South" on Mondays.
In 1999, both Kelley and Patinkin returned, with a revamped cast now including Barbara Hershey and Lauren Holly (but excluding Lahti, Peter Berg, Jayne Brook, Vondie Curtis-Hall, and Stacy Edwards).
Over its six seasons, "Chicago Hope" was nominated for many accolades and won several, including seven Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe.
