"I first wrote ER back in 1974 as a record of my experiences as a medical student in a hospital emergency room. But it was not until the fall of 1994, 20 years later, that these stories appeared as a new television series. That must surely be the longest creative gestation in modern television, but it was worth it. Audiences found the show to be fast paced, fresh and real, and it drew a loyal following from its very first episode. But if the past was remarkable the future was even more so: none of us involved in those early days of ER could have anticipated its long and remarkable run as one of the best and most popular television shows in the history of the medium. From it's early days to the exciting present, it's been one long thrill for me, and I think for audiences as well. Enjoy!"- Michael Crichton, June 2003 This four disc collection includes all 25 episodes from The Complete First Season of ER!
"...one of the best prime-time shows on television." Britt Gillette, The DVD Report
"As a television show, ER created a new format for numerous other quality series like The West Wing." Kerry Huang, DVD Fanatic
"...[a] combination of intense medical realism and dishy doctor soap opera..." MaryAnn Johanson, The Flick Filosopher
"...a groundbreaking level of realism. Never had a hospital drama seemed so real..." Stuart Galbraith, IV, DVD Talk
"No hour of TV is more gripping than ER." Time
Editor's Note
One of the highest rated TV drama shows of its time, ER gave audiences a hospital drama unlike any ever before produced. With adult themes and concerns, the show has been praised for being provocative as well as highly entertaining. This unforgettable first season introduced characters played by George Clooney, Anthony Edwards, Sherry Stringfield, Eriq La Salle, Noah Wyle, and Julianna Marguiles that would become among the most beloved in television history.
