I'm on S1 ep15 now. God, I love this show. I'm crying a lot though.

Found this the other day and I'm up to S1 e9. So glad to hear they're adding all the series!
Started watching it on CBS last year for it to just stop at S4 I think and go back to the beginning they did the same with Bondi Rescue the bastards I loved ER back in the day, but missed a lot of the episodes.
Been in tears twice already, and not looking forward to a few of the episodes coming up (don't want to spoil it for others so won't mention anything specific!) The stabbing one in particular.
I'm on nights tonight and could be doing loads of things, but I'm binge watching ER today and I don't really care 😁
Favourite characters are Greene, Lewis, Benton, Carter and Malucci. Ross is a great character and a complete shit, same as Romano.
Happy watching everyone!

I'm enjoying spotting Donna Moss as a poverty-stricken mother whose child has malnutrition and Josh Lyman as the husband in Love's Labour's Lost episode. West Wing stars before there was a West Wing.

(See also Ross Geller as annoying neighbour in 4B in NYPD Blue before there was a Friends)

Well, I just got a msg to turn off ad blocker. Right in the middle of an episode. I don't have ad blocker of any sort, so I can't turn it off. I can't play the rest of the episode, so I am stuck. Anybody else had this?

Amazing, thanks OP. I've not seen it since it was originally aired & never got to the later series.

Am I right in thinking that they've only released three series on All4 so far? Watched up to the end of series three now. Had forgotten so much. What really strikes me is how much of a thing AIDS/HIV still was then. Had also forgotten just how much Hathaway and Ross were always so much in the other's orbit (even when they weren't romantically involved), up to their ending (not that I'm that far through as yet).

I am pretty sure I missed a fair few episodes when it was shown originally, particularly as the series progressed, so will be interesting to see some for the first time. I really liked the Abby and Luka story-line but went off it rather once virtually none of the original cast remained.

Yep one a week.

I’m just over half way through the first series. I’ve cried a bit too, which I don’t remember doing as much when I first watched it (apart from the obvious episodes) Don’t know whether it is now I am a mum and seem to be so much more emotional or because I have lost a parent in the last few years and find some scenes more distressing than I did before.

So for those of you very familiar with the episodes, are there chunks missing from the episodes.
They seem to suddenly jump to a situation without any explanation such as Hathaway suddenly asking the girl if she wants to move in with her. There is no scene with her talking to her fiancé about it at all other than her saying I want to adopt her and him saying well I don't then driving off. Was more discussion cut or just never existed.

Oops turns out they are adopting together

Hi Tantric
One of the things people got a bit freaked out by back in '94 was not just the fast and mobile camera work but also the fast-paced dialogue and the way stories moved on without every bit being on-screen.

I'm part way through S2 now. I'd forgotten how much fun Carrie Weaver is as a character.

I find myself much less invested in the Hathaway/Ross storyline this time around.

Don't know if I missed a bit in Series 1 where Hathaway admits to Tag that she had kissed Ross and he walks away from her. But then she and Tag announce their engagement in the next episode. Was there a bit in between that I missed?

Yes, 25 years on I have a lot less time for Doug Ross’s shenanigans. I’d have fired his ass for Harper alone.

Anyone know how long they're going to have these on for?

I've just started Greys Anatomy which I'm really enjoying but only on series 3.

Don't want to miss ER though, hoping they leave it on long enough for me to finish GA!

How is everyone watching this?

I have sky q but ER isn't showing on the on demand section.

I can't seem to get the all4 app on my TV either!

I was most annoyed when CBS stopped showing the series at season 4 so hoping to continue fromwhere they left off!

I’m seeing the early episodes through a different lens since the comments the actress who played Wendy the nurse about Mr Clooney.

Then her awful death :-(

Watching through PS4

Watching through the All4 app on an iPad.

I'm watching through All4 app and casting to TV.
But....
Anyone else watching through the app - are you having issues with it jumping back to the start randomly after a set of ads? It can go a couple of episodes with playing the ads and then carrying on fine, but then it'll jump back to the start after every set of ads in an episode. It's not a big deal but a bit annoying!

Does anyone else have problems playing the episodes on Firefox?
I wanted to watch an episode last night, turned off both my add blocker and anti tracing software, only to find the message "All 4 is only available in the UK."
I am in the UK, my laptop had a German keyboard, but everything else is set to the UK.

Strangely works on Chrome...

It works well through the All4 app on an amazon fire stick

Managed to download the app on my DH Xbox!
Watching the last two episodes of season 4 to remember where I left off from the CBS debacle!

I am amazed at how many of the story arcs I'd forgotten. I also thought Lucy had been in it from much earlier than she was (Series 5).

I’ve just got to the first episode with Romano.

I’m already missing people who’ve left eg I really liked Harper. I know Susan comes back but I think it’s lacking without her. They just seem to have done the Carol and road romance because the Susan and mark one got cut when the actress wanted to leave.

Carter’s not always as nice as I remember him. He was a terrible friend to Gant.

Are junior doctors really paid so little in the US, it seems to make that point a lot?
