"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 61 disc collection includes all 245 episodes from the first eleven seasons 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
Set in the Emergency Room at Chicago's County General Hospital, ER is a gritty, pulse-racing glimpse of how brisk action can save lives--and how one mistake can prove fatal. The show made George Clooney's reputation, and introduced a stellar cast that includes Julianna Margulies, Laura Innes, Anthony Edwards, Eriq La Salle, Noah Wyle, and Sherry Stringfield, among others. The combination of absorbing storylines, conflicted characters, top-notch performances, and realistic incidents in the emergency room attracted millions of fans, who will doubtless by delighted by this further chance to view the lives of Dr. Ross, Dr. Greene, and Nurse Hathaway once again. This collection brings together every episode from the first 11 seasons of the show.
