ER - Anyone else watch(ed) this?

Post by Go-On Macaroni »

So, I was at Winthrop Public Library last Saturday and I saw DVDs of this medical drama that NBC used to show called ER. Having only seen the later seasons and none of the first few, I rented the first volume. The first few episodes have been pretty good and I do highly recommend making sure you see the pilot; it's very important to the series (unlike say, the MMPR pilot) & the entire mini-arc with
Spoiler
Carol Hathaway attempting to suicide by OD'ing was handled pretty well


I do have one gripe about the DVD, though. Going off wiki, the numbering should go "Pilot, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7" when it goes "Pilot, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6" on the episode selection lists. It's just un-needingly confusing.

That's weird, is the pilot not part of the continuity? If it isn't, why not just number it so you don't have two episode one's?

It is. I can guarantee that if you don't watch the pilot, you'll be very confused on certain topics. (Here's where I was getting the numbers).

I watched it when it first premiered on NBC. Thursday nights @ 10:00pm. Loved the characters, loved the setting, and really loved the intensity whenever patients arrive and they are struggling to stabilize them + prep them for surgery.

After a few seasons where a lot of the central characters started leaving, it started turning me off. Probably because I grew to enjoy watching their back stories, but it was hard to start all over again when they started introducing new characters.

So for a time, it was one of my favorite shows.
