Anyone watching the ER reruns on freebies 71 (cbs channel)

Second episode on now!

Theme tune still gives me shivers

And that the radiant Nurse Hathaway a bit of a bitch - at least to Jeannie

But great Sunday evening binge viewing

Has it finished now?

No, still going strong !

Nope - still on Season 2.

Agree Aridane. Hathaway has been awful the last few episodes. It was out of character for her to bully Jeanie like that.

Tbf Jeannie's comment 'isn't that a nurses job' would've pissed me off too.
Behave like that in healthcare you get what's coming

I can sort of see Carol's point. Her job had been cut by about 60% to pay for Jeannie's role and yet she was still be asked to do everything. They might end up rubbing along ok (I didn't see this series first time round).

I love this show. I remember it used to be shown on Thursday nights back in the 1990s and I was in my 20s and had a full on banging social life, which involved being out nearly every night of the week EXCEPT for Thursday evenings, when I had to be in to watch ER!!!!!

I was in love with most of the doctors at some point during the many seasons. Still get the same shiver of excitement when the title music comes up.

I missed a lot when ER was first on as I lived abroad on and off. It's such a great show - don't think there's been a better medical drama since.

Man, having kids has totally changed how I respond to shows like this. Watching it as a teenager I enjoyed the drama but I wasn't so damn affected by all the plot lines. Now they get to me on a whole other level. I'm just watching where Susan has to leave little Suzie with Chloe and it's so so so sad

Love love love this. Am in Ireland and it used to be on a Sunday night after the news. It punctuated the weekend for me!

Love all the characters - love the dynamic between Jeannie and Hathaway .... think it's realistic - none of us are perfect.

Love Mark Green - and even now watching it am so disappointed he and Susan don't get together. He ends up with Corday and I don't think they were well matched at all. And she ends up with a guy called Chuck who she was meh about for ages. I'm over invested!

And I love Carters character - flaws and all. Wonderful dynamic between Benton & Carter.

And Carrie Weaver - brilliant! And Romano is yet to come!!! When the kids are in bed and I sit down by myself for an hour this is my first choice.

Yay Susan and Mark, don't know what that never happened

Still catching up on my dvd season one
Made a mistake putting the dvd in backwards though and ended up watching it out of order

I watched it all again fairly recently.

It was fun spotting early career actors on it. Who knew Ewan McGregor had been in an episode.?

Can someone explain what a Resident is, a Chief Resident and an Attending?

Resident is a term for postgrad medical students I believe. So people like Susan would have their medical degree, and be doing a sort of crappily paid internship in the hospital to get experience. A chief resident would be a kind of supervisor. I think the Attending is the head of their department, like Carrie is for the ER.

I forgot how many HIV storylines were in 90s TV shows. You hardly see it mentioned on modern medical dramas.

I've always thought that in UK equivalents the residents would be registrars and the attending are consultants. Carter would be a junior doctor or FY1/2. I could be wrong though.

I record it and look forward to watching it every night! What I really need to do is have some self control and save up some episodes for a good solid binge one weekend. I used to have a few seasons on vhs Been in floods of tears the last few episodes with Susan losing baby Suzy, definitely didn't affect me like that when I was a teen! Mark Greene 4eva

@Eighttimeseight the golden hour! Get sat with a brew, a curly wurly and a glorious hour of ER!

They do show a bumper collection on Sunday nights - repeats of previous week shows

I just shed a little tear at 'Dr Carter' putting on his white coat so over-invested

duggie me too. They did it really well, I felt like a proud mum!!!! ridiculous

Do you think that Benton got/organised it for him?

Or did I mishear what they said before he took it out of the box?

I must be getting old because the first time ER aired, Dr Carter was something of a sex symbol among my friends. Now I just feel all motherly towards him. Go Carter!

“John Carter, M.D.” yep I double checked they said 'Dr Benton left something down here for you' No I’m not crying you are....
