I've been a solid fan of ER since it began. I have been very happy with the flexibility that the writers have shown to be able to develop plots that allowed actors to come and go. That's like real life -- sad but real. One of the writer/producers from Third Watch who now has moved to ER brings a new breath of life that makes ER seem real. Bringing back the old characters is a nice idea, but not absolutely necessary. MRO

ER is still good, but it stopped being really good a long time ago. Not one of the original cast is left and while there are still great actors on the show, chiefly Maura Tierney, Mekhi Phifer, and Parminder Nagra, it's still not the caliber of the original cast. I will admit if there was something better than Without a Trace on opposite I would be sorry to miss an episode or two of ER. This season, the show is taking a page from the Grey's Anatomy play book and concentrating more on the personal lives of the doctors and less on the disease/accident of the week aspect that fueled the show in the beginning. ER is the kind of show that can decrease or expand its cast as needed, but it might be time for the producers to allow the show to bow out gracefully. Before it becomes as bad as LA Law did before ER replaced it.

I think NBC's biggest problem is they don't really have anything to replace ER. Other than one of the Law and Order shows, NBC doesn't have a great drama to go up against Without a Trace and its popular lead-in. The only L&O that could possibly move to Thursdays and be competitive is SVU.

I like most of the characters on the show. I always will like Maura Tierney because of Newsradio. And the show needs to have more Morris on the show.

That being said, the quality has decreased. I ask myself all the time: How are the characters going to screw it up this week (even after a happy event occured)? Another words, it is predictable things will not work out unless they leave the show (in most cases).

I never really appreciated Scott Grimes' Morris character until I recently rewatched Band of Brothers. His portrayal of Mularky in BOB really made me reexamine his work on ER. He's hilarious... You're supposed to hate him... He's supposed to be incompetant.



ER is nowhere near what it used to be, but its still servicable.

I have been a big fan of ER, granite I am still a teenager. I love the show, I was extremely upset when Dr. Greene died, and suprising upset when Dr. Carter left the show. I think the show is still sorta living up to its name, it is still providing a great drama, though I do miss the medical seens. I agree, that ER is one of NBC's two flagship, Law and Order, shows, they just need better plot lines. I do like of how they have been including more of Morris to the shows, adding a sort of comedic relief, especially the fact with him having four nipples.



I think the reason why ER is reaching so many viewers, is that Kovac and Abby are having a baby, which was something that most of the ER fans have wanted to happen, or get back together, since the couple first debuted on the show.

ER is still one of the best things on TV. I haven't been able to understand why it's only the girl who does my hair, my friend Evelyn and me watching it. It's been appointment tv for me since the beginnning. The only complaint I have is that Sam is completely ok with Luka and Abby. ok, maybe she doesn't know about them. Hello, is she blind! BTW Grey's Anatomy suuu-huucks!

I still try to watch ER. I think it hit its peak around 2003-2004 (when Carter and Luca went off to whatever country it was, I can't remember at the moment). I personally can't stand Morris, but I like that Shane West's character is getting more screen time. I think there's a lot of potential in his character, and I could see some really good plotlines revolving around him.

I will add my voice to the chorus of kudos for Maura Tierney. I would watch this actor sleep I love her so much. Abbey is one of a very few fictional characters I think about as if she's a real person. At random times during my week I might actually think about her or worry about her before catching myself and thinking I'm a total loser.



The season Mark Green had a brain tumor was a dark time. The show was boring and overwrought and I only watched a few episodes. Once we started our passionate love affair with our DVR we started watching it again. Now the show is again at the top of our list.

I watch ER every week. I have a lot of time invested in this show... I can't stop now!



That said, I still think the show is very good. Of course, not every episode is gold, but it is important enough to me to set the DVR. That says something!

I still watch the show every week, and will watch it until the end. That said, the quality has suffered in recent years, and I was reminded of this just this weekend by catching old episodes from seasons 1 & 2 on TNT. The chemistry of the original cast cannot, or has not, been repeated. Also,on a snarky note, I think Morris neeeds to get his ass kicked for being such a pathetic dork who tries too hard to be cool, hip, and a good doctor. (all of which, he is not)

I love ER. It’s one of my favorites but It does have a lot of problems now. I could have sworn County was a teaching hospital so where are the student’s? What happened to the nurse’s side stories they used to have sometimes? Where have all the attendings gone??? All in all the writings ok but instead of been there done that feel you should get from a show that’s been on this long you get a kinda stuck in the middle feel. Not really sucking but not really great either. Maybe they need to bring back some of the original writers to recapture the magic or those producers (the big name one’s) that have been with the show form the beginning need to wake up.
