Rating: Summary: Finally!!!!!!!!!! Review: Finally the long awaited ER on DVD!!!! This is the best show on television. I've been watching since the debut episode back in 1994, and I'm still a loyal and advid watcher. Never miss a Thursday!!! I only hope that now they've started, they'll continue putting all the years on DVD. It'll definetly give me more space. I have taped every episode on to VHS. I'll be at my local Wal-mart bright and early on Tuesday to get my copy!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: DVD's not as good as they could be Review: The 3 stars are not a judgment on the series, but on the penny pinchers at WB. First the 4 disc are double sided so no cover art on the discs (unlike other tv series DVDs, so look generic and cheap ), and no way of telling which episodes are on which discs unless you look at the booklet. The little inner circle where it is printed, (in my opinion) are mislabeled. The side that says "Side A" is side A, so when you pull out that first DVD, you have to flip it over to watch the first episode, instead of putting it into the DVD player the way you pulled it out. Also NO ENGLISH SUBTITLES, only French. The video transfer and sound looks and great.
Rating: Summary: An Outstanding Choice for a DVD Series Collection! Review: It seems that perhaps every major television series whether still ongoing or in mothballs is making its way into the "DVD TV Series" collections market. Many are welcome and some are just as lackluster as they were on TV the first time around. However, "ER" was and is one of the most profound and exciting TV series in recent history. Its addition to the DVD market is truly an asset! I look forward to its release as an old "ER" fan and I'm sure it will capture a new audience that somehow flew under its addictive radar the first time around!
Rating: Summary: Love the First Season Review: Wow incredible the first season of ER is finally coming to DVD with all of the special features that will be incredible to see. The episode entitled Love Labors Lost is a very heartfelt episode. To me the fact that you have a great episode just focusing on one doctor trying his best to deliver a baby and is unsuccessful delivering and doing the surgery and saving the baby. Then losing the mother in the end that was the saddest part of the episode. Another episode is The Gift that ended the first half of the season is really good but is also sad in the fact that they had a patient coming in with brain damage and is brain dead. They came in to harvest his organs and she did not want to have them harvest his organs. But anyways the first season of ER was awesome because the fact that they won over Chicago Hope the first season was very good and they have been on ever since. Chicago Hope was the only hospital show to get cancelled and not be shown again because the fact it kind of stunk were as ER every week they had a new and exciting episode and they brought in new cast member. This year they brought back and original cast member Sherry Stringfield to reprise her role as Doctor Susan Lewis. That was a very good move for NBC to bring her back because she and Anthony Edwards were the only two cast members to be on their for a while till Anthony Edwards character of Doctor Mark Greene was killed off in 2002 of brain cancer. This is a must have collecters edition DVD for anyone go buy it because they will be flying off the shelves in the ladder part of August.
Rating: Summary: Finally! Review: All I can say is...FINALLY! A US DVD release of ER. I thought Warner Bros. was never going get with the times. The first season hooked me on ER; especially the episode Love's Labor Lost. I'm still watching today.
Rating: Summary: It's about time!!! Review: I have been waiting a long time for this television series to be released onto dvd/video. I have been an avid fan since the pilot first aired 9 years ago. I can watch this show over and over again (special help with reruns on TNT network) and now with the seasons coming out on dvd/video (hopefully more seasons very soon) I can watch my favorite episodes repeatedly!!
Rating: Summary: WOOHOO! Review: I am a complete ER freak and am soo excited about this! I can't wait to watch it all, ER is definitely the best show on television right now. I hope they put out the rest of the seasons on boxed sets like this...they are guaranteed to have my money!
Rating: Summary: Non-Merely-Anticipatory 5-Star Rating Review: Having seen the first season when it first aired (as well as catching reruns of it on TNT), I believe it to be deserving of a 5-star rating all on its own. With all of the bonus materials that they are including, I wish that I had more stars to give. It will be great to once again see how very green Dr. Carter was when he first came to County General. Also, getting to see the lost Drs. Greene and Ross will be quite nice. Now for the rest of the seasons....
Rating: Summary: See How The Phenomenon Began The Best Way Possible! Review: Good things really do come to those who wait! Rejoice as the release of ER: The Complete First Season DVD launches what no doubt will be the first of a string of additional season boxed sets. For almost ten years now, critics and audiences have debated over what hooks them to the show more - the realistic trama cases and procedures or the drama surrounding the personal lives of the staff of County General? Thankfully and wisely, the producers devote equal screen time on both the tramas and the drama making each that much richer. With all episodes in original running order and commercial-free (always an appeal to buy boxed sets) prepare to sit back and let tv's "top docs" (as TV Guide declared them back in the day) pull you into the Emergency Room (or Emergency Department, as medical professionals have stated would be more accurate). Dr. Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards), the heart and soul of the ER; Dr. Susan Lewis (Sherry Stringfield), good-hearted colleague of Greene's whom could be, should be more than a friend; Dr. Doug Ross (George Clooney), a complex womanizer, yet THE doc you'd want working on your child's case; Nurse Carol Hathaway (Julianna Margulies), a suicidal nurse who quickly becomes an integral character; Dr. Peter Benton (Eriq La Salle), emotionally devoid, yet gifted surgeon; Med student John Carter, Benton's eager-beaver intern always angling for the best route to becoming a good doctor. And let's not exclude the many supporting actors portraying the nurses, who really keep the hospital running as they remind the docs and us throughout the episodes. They're all here on DVD to remind us how the monster hit series began...with PLENTY of extras to satisfy every fan and critic of the show. We might even get to see how the principals learn all that medical jargon or even better, see the actors flubbing the difficult diction. It's always wild to go back in time and watch a currently running show during it's early years. Comparing the look and characterizations of the cast from then to now as you notice how most characters weren't quite fleshed out. Compare Dr. Benton in the pilot to Benton from the episodes then on, and you'll see exactly what I mean. A great DVD companion for any collector and fan of stellar ensemble drama.
Rating: Summary: FINALLY!! YES!! Review: ER is simply the BEST Drama TV show EVER MADE... Period. Now, finally we have them on DVD. I can't wait until ALL the seasons come out on DVD! (then I can get rid of all the old, beat up tapes!) I never tire of the tremendous Writing, Acting, Directing, ETC... of this fantastic, ground breaking show who's fans are legion. THANKS! PS: Anyone who is not an ER fanatic... I suggest you get this Season 1 DVD, watch it and get ready to become one!
