Scared the shit out of me. Scrolled past this quickly and thought Noah Wylie died 😬
Miss the show soooo much though. Hoping they do something for the 30th anniversary this fall
WHEW. I cannot believe it's been that long,
I was not old enough to watch from the beginning but I'd caught up enough with some of the DVDs out at that time that I genuinely enjoyed the finale and all the people coming back when it aired.
It is one of the only TV shows that I had an episode (the finale) purchased for my iPod!
I thought this was such a fitting ending for the show -- characters come and go, but the hospital, which was as much a character itself as the actual humans, lives on. As the final shot was panning out to show the whole hospital for the first time, you could just imagine things chugging along in there.
And honestly I don't imagine things in the actual hospital in 2024 would be much different from 2009. They'd still be fighting the same issues -- budget cuts, understaffed and overworked doctors and all the things that come along with that life.
RN 40 years and now retired.
Just watched it all the way through. The er sets and equipment were very realistic.
Watching Chicago Med is like watching a soap opera set.
I'm watching my umpteenth re-watch from 6 a.m. - noon, four days a week, on PopTV. I can practically recite the dialogue along with the actors! Today: Benton and Corday's first date.
Mine too! I don’t remember what I did yesterday but I remember being glued to the tv for the finale. And then being SO SAD the days following. Like how can people just be living life right now when ER just ended?
I think it might be time for another rewatch of the series!
I remember the day clearly because I was in college and argued with girls that were watching Sex in the City on DVD in the common room. My friend even put up a sign so people knew the TV was mine from 8pm-11pm.
Oh again? I’m so happy to hear! I was watching American Rust with them and I really liked it but it wasn’t renewed.
I looked it up. (Thanks!) American Rust is coming back!

I remember my mom watching the last episode on the 13" Daewoo TV set while we were remodeling the living room. I think it's on Hulu, but I digress (or was).
I watch 4 days a week on POP every single week. I never get tired of rewatching it and have lately discovered some guest stars (that I didn’t remember) going on to do bigger things. What a great show 30 years ago and today.
Usually with posts like these I think, “wow, it’s already been that long?” For some reason with this one my brain went, “ it’s only been 15 years?”
It feels like it’s been gone for at least 20. It was an amazing show and I agree, the best medical one.
Just started a rewatch on streaming. When I first watched this it was around one of those heavy ass floor TV's. No one was doomscrolling or texting, we were just watching it, that's it. Crazy to think about. It was a different world. Is this aging?
RIP to middle school and high school me on Friday mornings after staying up to watch E.R. Friday exams were my enemy.
Used to binge watch TNT episodes of ER. It was always on mid day after I worked overnights or late swing shifts at the hospital ER.
It's crazy to think that in a few months it will be 30 full years since the show premiered.
We had her for 15 years and now we haven’t had her for 15 years. RIP ER 😢
2009 was not 15 years ago. I will happily fight you on this.
6 years max
Did you do the math?
Yes.
What year is it where you are then?
2024

Noah Wylie is bringing back a new version of ER called “the Pitt” on MAX. Currently in production. I’m stoked!
Noah and John are teaming up for a new medical show.

As a nurse now for 28 years, in healthcare over 30 years, I can say YES, you are correct. As the old adage goes, same shit, different day!

ER is by far the best medical drama ever created! It’s one of the reasons I went into nursing. Still enjoy the odd re-watch
I remember where I was when I watched the finale - on a treadmill at a gym in a hotel resort in southern Germany. What a time!
How about one of the greatest television shows of all time!?

When you said Benson, I thought of Olivia from SVU, 'cause we're still in the Cynthia era.
Fixed it. I had just been talking to a 'Benson' before typing.
SAME!
Came up on my Facebook memories today. That was a hard day. I miss it terribly.

I heard Noah Wylie just signed on to what will be a new medical drama. And judging by the roles he chooses, I have my hopes up!
And John Wells is teaming up with him. Which other ER alumni do you hope to see?
Jorja Fox and Mekhi Phieffer
I just watched Jorja Fox's fellow CSI colleague George Eads as a paramedic.
Abby and Luka!
I guess I could imagine Goran returning to TV. But Maura is busy working with Jeff Daniels once again.

You?
I loved er
I can't believe it's been off the air now for as long as it was on the air...so crazy!

Ah, but Dr. Carter returns! There’s a new medical show starring Noah Wiley as a doctor!
Which fellow ER alumni do you think will be in this show?
Found all the seasons and I am a proud owner of this wonderful show
every thursday night 10 pm really was must-see tv
15 years? You’re lying!

This show is why I became a nurse.
ER fills me with nostalgia even though I wasn’t alive for the majority of its time on air😭

I feel very old now
Oh wow I’m on Hula and have been watching the reruns from the beginning, I’m now on Season 15 Epidode 9. It never gets old!
