ER is bringing on a quartet of new recurring players for its final season — all of them playing interns at County General. According to the Reporter, Shiri Appleby (Roswell) and Julian Morris have been cast as siblings (she's smart, he tries to skate by on looks alone), Emily Rose (Brothers & Sisters) will play a controlling type who (all together now) rubs folks the wrong way, and Victor Rasuk's character is a native New Yorker henpecked by his wife. — Matt Mitovich read more

Ask Matt | 5/19/2008
Q: Why are we getting "season finale" shows in May (their usual time) after a three- to four-month writers' strike? There was much speculation that seasons would run long because of the strike, but everything seems to be concluding at the regular end-of-season time. I personally feel pretty cheated, especially with shows like ER and the multiple CSI shows. The post-writers'-strike shows seem hurriedly cobbled together and have not provided satisfactory episodes since coming back. I am extremely... read more

Ask Ausiello | 5/7/2008
Q: Do you have a scoop for the next ER? A: Big heaping scoop, as a matter of fact. While several at County General are rumored ? and widely rumored, I might add ? to be on their way out next season, four new med students will be scrubbing in. Tracy, perhaps inspired by Reese Witherspoon's character of the same name in Election, is a two-faced go-getter; Isabelle and Andrew are twins that everybody mistakes for a couple; and Ryan is a Latin family man whose home life may be more chaotic than... read more

With only one Tivo, I am at a loss. Here's what I know about tonight's episode:—The episode is called "Truth Will Out" —Acadmey Award nominee Hal Holbrook guest stars as a cancer patient.—Abby makes a comeback.—Sopranos star Aida Turturro continues her guest arc.

ER Preview: Steve Buscemi Raises Hell! | Today's News: Our Take | 4/22/2008
OK, so it's not George Clooney returning, but the former Tony Blundetto — aka Steve Buscemi — will make an appearance on ER's 14th season finale, airing May 15. Atoning, we pray, for I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, Buscemi plays "a loudmouthed drunk with a dangerous secret." And since this emergency room is often as dangerous as a cage-fighting venue, he'll "threaten the safety" of the hospital staff and make Pratt "choose between the life of a patient or the lives of his... read more
Episode Recap: As the Day She Was Born | ER Show Blog | 4/18/2008
While much of the focus tonight was on Neela, it seemed like almost everyone at County was dealing with some sort of personal or professional crisis. Let’s start with Neela walking around the ER naked. No great surprise that this was a dream that reflected her own insecurities about her birthday, her decisions and her life in general. Unfortunately, both Harold and Tony were on the receiving end of her bad day. When Harold came clean about his decision to change specialties, Neela went... read more

Episode Recap: Owner of a Broken Heart | ER Show Blog | 4/11/2008
It’s been too long, my fellow ER fans. But we are back now and with the recent announcement of a fifteenth and final season, I’d say we have much to look forward to. While the strike was a big blow to a lot of shows, I think it was a mixed blessing in the case of ER. Had this season been allowed to play out as expected, our beloved staff of County General may very well have limped to the finish line and quietly gone out with a whimper. This landmark show simply deserves better than... read more

Wanna play doctor? ‘Cause a whole bunch of our TV favorites have and scored big time. On screen, of course.

So turn your head, cough and please find someone to call me in the morning!Becker — Before Ted Danson got his creep on for Damages, he was a nasty... read more
ER Boss Diagnoses Stamos Spin-off Talk as Bogus | Today's News: Our Take | 4/8/2008
Your dream of Dr. Tony Gates being spun off into a three-camera sitcom in which he plays pediatrician to a motley group of incorrigible misfits has been thusly shattered. Dismissing a Rush & Malloy item saying that John Stamos' had been wooed to front an ER spin-off (but "wasn't having it"), series creator John Wells tells TV Guide, "It may have been a spin-off from Full House, but it wasn't from ER." Now that's gonna hurt in the morning.Wells, however, won't discount the possibility of... read more

Clooney on ER Rumor: There's "No Reason" to Return | Today's News: Our Take | 3/18/2008
Talk that George Clooney might be lured back for ER's 15th (and final?) season is being shrugged off by the movie star himself. Weighing in on the recent rash of rumors, Clooney tells TV's Extra, "The truth of the matter is they wouldn't ask, and there would really be no reason for it." (Fair point, seeing as the Cloon was already top-secretly employed to lure Julianna Margulies' Carol off the show.) Clooney tells ET that he was so perplexed by the rumblings that just the other day, when he ran... read more

Premise: The riveting medical drama that redefined the genre for the 1990s and into the 21st century. Created by author Michael Crichton and set in a Chicago ER, the series chronicles the lives of its harried staff in staccato, realistic scenes of lives saved and lost. The all-time champ for Emmy nominations among dramas (108),`ER' topped the ratings charts shortly after its premiere, and has remained a top-rated show (and an anchor of NBC's vaunted Thursday Must-See TV lineup) ever since.
