Island Son is an American medical drama television series that aired on CBS from September 16, 1989 to March 15, 1990, during the 1989–90 schedule.
Island Son marked the return of Richard Chamberlain to a regular TV series since his Dr. Kildare series almost 25 years earlier. In the interim, he had enjoyed a somewhat successful career in feature films and TV miniseries, and had become widely known as "The King of the Miniseries" due to his success in the latter.
