I'm giving up ER and transferring my loyalty to Gray's Anatomy

I've watched ER for years and years and years.
Loved it, makes me laugh, makes me cry, great medical stuff , reasonably accurate if slightly OTT
I was going to give it up if baby Joe had died but still i worry if he will make it over the next few weeks
Everyone lives in dark flats, and works in a dark ER, get some lightbulbs people
but now, can't take it any more, boo hoo sob sob, everyone dies, children living in sewers, everyone dies, work in poor clinic doing your bit for community , everyone dies
WHY DO I BOTHER
so, I'm stopping watching it and moving to gray's anatomy which makes me laugh, makes me cry, silly medical stories but at least some of them end up positive
Does anyoone still enjoy ER?

Might have to visit Amazon!!!

ER is crap now anyway

the acting and scripts are laughable

I hear GA is very good, am tempted to get the first series out on dvd

DarrellRivers · 08/05/2007 14:26

yeah...you too could be as sad as me!!!

turquoise · 08/05/2007 14:30

So agree about the darkness with ER.

GA is fabbo - not just for the Mcdreamysteamy stuff but so funny - I love Bailey's and Christina's lines. And agree about slight Ally Mcbeal side to it, with some of the storylines. Also the music is excellent, and very well matched to the situation (hot flush remembering Snow Patrol in the final ep series 2).

Am I the only one who finds Denny creepy and annoying though?

chilledmama · 08/05/2007 14:35

Agree with music, yes especially Snow Patrol...but not about Denny!

Oh, My time is up...DS has just wakened up with a roar!

arwen · 08/05/2007 14:41

Thank you chilledmama that was exactly the bit I missed, very well explained as well If I may say so. Still think DRivers should rewatch the episode to confirm for us all though.....

chilledmama · 08/05/2007 14:56

no problem arwen...[one handed post as DS needs other while on boob]

DarrellRivers · 08/05/2007 14:56

WARNING - SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

Well, Denny dies so you won't have to find him creepy and annoying any more

and stick with ER cos Abby and Kovac get married incredibly beautifully (watched it this morning- actually gave me a tear) in a couple of episodes

chilledmama · 08/05/2007 17:35

LFC- That's harsh!!!

Most of the people on this thread wont be very happy...on the other hand, I knew that cause watched on Living...so don't care!!

Ladymuck · 08/05/2007 17:46

Spoilers need at least a screenlength to be effective.

misdee · 08/05/2007 17:48

hmmmm, what channel are they showing this on now? i fancy screaming at the telly again.

turquoise · 08/05/2007 17:58

C5 sunday nights - double episode of viewing pleasure.

That spoiler shows up even worse if you come to it from 'threads I'm on' or similar, bit out of order IMO (though I knew, saw it on Living too).

misdee · 08/05/2007 17:59

hmmm so where is it upto on c5?

turquoise · 08/05/2007 18:01

Just had the episode that really annoyed you last time - where Izzy cuts his LVAD thinking Burke is on his way, but Burke got shot. (God it sounds crap if anyone is reading this who isn't into it lol).

misdee · 08/05/2007 18:02

ah right. lol. i didnt watch it after that but it comes up on youtube when you search LVAD

chilledmama · 08/05/2007 18:49

You're right though...that episode was v annoying, 'You can't leave me' yada yada yada. Not what I watch GA for...just as well it doesn't happen very often!

LittleSarah · 08/05/2007 18:55

ARGH - I was just moving the thread up, didn't want to see any spoilers (as am watching GA on C5) and saw something horrible about DENNY!!! Noooooooooooooooooo!!!

Oh well, so exciting on Sunday, I was literally on the edge of my seat... still looks like I know some of what is coming but am sure the finale next week will be fab anyway!

So agree about the ER thing. I have watched from the beginning and have loads on DVD but recently I have barely watched it.

LittleSarah · 08/05/2007 18:56

Lol, just noticed you guys found that episode annoying... well I loved it.

chilledmama · 08/05/2007 18:56

oooh Little Sarah, the finale is realllly good!!!!
Make sure you record just in case of accidents!!

turquoise · 08/05/2007 19:04

Oh the finale - Mcdreamy....Snow Patrol...the prom...all those looks...

I did enjoy Adison bawling Mcdreamy out on the balcony in the last episode though, very good.

chilledmama · 08/05/2007 19:10

Does that count as another spoiler???

poppy101 · 08/05/2007 19:14

I have to agree that I find GA good, turned into onto it a fortnight ago by accident and couldn't wait for Sunday's double episode.

Will be waiting until next week to watch it. I haven't watched ER for ages and agree that GA seems to be better.
