Comic timing... is how to have a relationship with the camera and deal with the camera without looking like you are.
You have to think there's a reason for everything. When a door closes another door opens.
And they didn't have to get into a lot of legal speak or talk ER terms, they were real people. I think that's why so many actresses were attracted to it. And it was just about problems that you could identify with so much, right off the bat.
