Not quite the spin I had in mind, but considering we could do it on a
shoestring and run it on Sci-Fi ala MST3K. Not bad.

And just think of all the SF short stories we could mine...

Ok... I can see some useful cross-marketing spinoffs here.  After the
initial plot establishment, we can save a lot of money by grabbing
leftover footage from all these shows and workthing them into the story
line.  Some simple CGI would overlay our illustrious Doctors with these
fine characters and careful scriptwriters would make it seem like it
made sense.

Dr. John Medicine Woman attends a seminar in San Francisco and assists
our Drs in surgery.
The Time Tunnel team are healed of the severe nausea caused by those
spinning effects.
The entire cast of Sliders just tumbles into the Branch Davidian clinic
while the Drs are treating carpal tunnel problems caused by reloading
lots of 40 round magazines.
They have to treat the crew of the ISS after an unusual burst of
radiation caused when Picard brings the Enterprise too close when they
overshoot their time slot and have to jump ahead a few years to stop the
Borg.
Hhhhmmm... I'm sure there are others that will lease us their leftover
footage.
