What I remember most about E/R was the diverse cast. It was one of the first TV shows that really looked like the America I knew, similar to the one seen at the Port Authority bus station in New York City - reminding me of all those who arrived here through Ellis Island and elsewhere.I was so surprised E/R only lasted one season - thought it was excellent and although I wasn't a big television person in those days didn't miss an episode.Elliott Gould was excellent as were all the actors cast. Writing was funny - it takes a lot to make me laugh out loud, but E/R did. Miss it.

The series E/R was marvelous and I would be so pleased if it made it into syndication so we could enjoy it over and over.Seinfeld and M*A*S*H were marvelous too, but by now I can recite the dialog along with the actors.Bring back E/R!!! Well, I tried to submit this comment and was told that it didn't have enough words. That's the first time in my life I've ever been told that. So I'm adding words to this post, but I really said it all when I wrote "Bring back E/R!!!"And here's another line of text just so this message conforms to the guidelines. Sheesh!

I remember this show being shown very late night on UK television, on ITV, if I recall correctly as it was 20 years ago and I loved it. Funnily enough I had a crush on George Clooney then and followed him through Roseanne and onto the ER we all know and love. Anyway, I recall that it was really set in the ER itself and never ventured out out of that setting much, if at all. I always stayed up for it, even though it was on well after 10.30 pm, which showed how much I liked it as this was in the days before I owned a VCR. What I wouldn't give to see it again, just to see if it were as good as I remember. Has it ever been re-shown on US TV?

Elliot Gould's comic timing was impeccable and the chemistry he shared with Mary McDonnell on screen was super. The character played by Conchata Farrell was refreshingly different. The ethnic diversity of the cast was an interesting element, too. As the show went on the development of the characters held my interest and I really wanted to know what happened to them. I was sorry to see this one go. If anybody knows when or where it will be shown in syndication, let me know. I'll have my VCR fired up and waiting.
