Nip/Tuck Cast & Crew

It was just a matter of time before execs in Hollywood mined the world of plastic surgery for some juicy TV drama. This often campy series centers on the office of Dr. Sean McNamara and Dr. Christian Troy, long-time friends who practice surgery (and life) in two entirely different ways. Christian is the stereotypical self-destructive playboy. Sean is the family man facing a moral crossroads, as well as a failed marriage to Julia (Joely Richardson). Sounds grim, but a healthy dose of dark humor keeps things humming and makes this show worth checking out. But be warned -- the depictions of surgery on this series are a tad graphic. In 2005, the series was the No. 1 basic-cable series among adults 18-49 and received Golden Globe nominations for best drama series and for stars Julian McMahon and Joely Richardson.<#$>For season 5, the setting shifted from Miami to Los Angeles, where Sean and Christian set up a new office.
