Mercy Point - October 6, 1998

Oct 6, 2021

Perhaps it was the wrong show in the wrong place at the wrong time. Whatever the case, UPN's "Mercy Point" didn't last long and was derided as "ER in Space." Does the format hold up, though? A look back at "Mercy Point's" 1998 premiere on today's Sci-Fi 5.

Follow Sci-Fi 5 for your daily dose of science-fiction history.
