SERIES PREMIERE: St. Elsewhere and Grey’s Anatomy both began with new residents joining the staffs of hectic teaching hospitals. The Resident, a new series from Fox premiering after today’s NFC Championship game, takes the same approach. Lots of other things about this new medical drama are familiar, too, from the life-or-death operating-room twists to the behind-closed-hospital-doors sexual trysts and flirtations. But what kept me interested, as I watched the preview for this new series, were some of the leading and supporting players. Matt Czuchry, who played Cary on The Good Wife, is the tough, no-nonsense doctor here, and Bruce Greenwood – who was on that St. Elsewhere staff as Dr. Seth Griffin back in the 1980s – plays an over-the-hill but still imposing hospital bigwig here. Also starring: Emily VanCamp from Revenge and, as the doctor on his first day at this big Atlanta hospital, Manish Dayal from The Hundred-Foot Journey.
