Summary: QUESTION!!!!
Review: all right, yes, E.R. is awesome, etc. etc. the thing is......my mom just walked into blockbuster this morning and behold! sitting there, on the for sale shelf, is E.R., the complete THIRD season! okay? then we look on amazon to see if it's cheaper to order it or to buy it in blockbuster.......then we find, to our (or at least my) utter bewilderment, that season three is absolutely nowhere to be found on amazon! nowhere! so we bought a product in a little blockbuster that isn't even available for pre-ordering on amazon.com! I kid you not!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: for the DVD, not the Show
Review: Am I the only one who does not like flip disc? I bought the 1st season and that was a mistake because I never know what side I'm putting in the player cos there is no "A" and "B" label... I won't buy this flip disc shows like E.R. and West Wing until they make them one sided with presumably 6 disc. I'm willing to pay more. Who's with me???? Vote.

Summary: Finally
Review: I have been waiting patiently for the release of the 2nd season of E.R. This is when things really start happening. The show seems to have really become the hit that it is during the second season. The characters were more developed and the medical drama became something that had been unheard of until E.R. came along. And, of course the best reason to purchase season 2. Laura Innes joined the cast as Dr. Kerry Weaver...quite possible the most interesting character there has ever been (along with being great eye candy!!!)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good Show; Bad DVDs
Review: I must say that I'm a bit surprised that this set is selling so poorly. I guess the Amazon sales rank of 1,200 and only a dozen or so reviews is quite representative of the buying public's response. That said, if they do decide to come out with additional sets I won't be buying them. The discs are flippers and are seemingly made less durable than other DVDs. On my old DVD player they constantly freeze up and/or skip. MASH is the only other DVD set that has done the same thing in a remarkably consistent manner.

The show itself was "must see TV" for me when these shows originally aired. However, I can't seem to find the thrill in watching these shows again. Maybe it's because ER jumped the shark when they started hacking people with helicopters, but I've lost interest in the new shows and can't seem to find it in these older episodes either.

Summary: I've Been Waiting For This!!!!
Review: Oh finally!! Ever since I started watching ER, I bought the first complete season, then I was itching to get the second one!

The second season starts with "Welcome Back Carter!" as Dr. Carter (Noah Wyle) starts his internship in the ER. And as we know Carter, he comes unprepared and his first day is comic. The season goes out with a bang with "John Carter, M.D." as Dr. Carter misses his own graduation because he stayed at the hospital to watch over a patient. Dr. Susan Lewis (Sherry Springfield) takes responsibility for her niece Susie after Chloe, Susan's sister abandons her daughter. This puts a strain on Susan's work and creates tension with the other doctors. Another highlight is when Dr. Doug Ross' (the beautiful George CLooney) different treatment techniques threatens his fellowship. He then saves a child trapped in a drainage pipe filling with water during a storm. His fellowship is renewed and is presented with an award for his heroic actions. My favorite episode in this season is "A Shift in the Night". Dr. Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards) is one of the very few attending doctors taking a shift at the E.R. He is overwhelemed by all the patients, and more coming every hour. The last ten minutes of the episode is classic. This season introduces Dr. Kerry Weaver, who annoys everybody. Guest stars include Lucy Liu and NBA superstar Scottie Pippin.

A new feature in this DVD is that it now includes subtitles and captioned for the hearing impaired. There are more special features too.

I am really looking forward to getting my hands on this DVD. Let me tell you, this show is so good, doctors and nurses don't like to watch is because it's just like going to work. Need I say more?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Heeeerrre's Weaver
Review: Season 2 marks the debut of Ole Stick herself, Dr. Kerry Weaver!

The second season is where I really got hooked on this show. Interesting plots revolving around Susan and baby Susie, Hathway and the EMT and Benton & Boulet really stand out.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: What Happened Between Season 1 and 2?
Review: Season 2 of ER is a sad shadow of season 1. They changed the characters what were charming in season one to inept jerks...especially John Carter. It no longer has that "you're right there" feeling that the first season had and turns it into a boring, predictable melodramatic soap opera. The camera work and acting is just as brilliant as the first season which is a shining reason to watch it. I'd not miss watching the first season just because the second season is disappointing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MUST HAVE
Review: Second season E.R. is the season that the show really took off. Supported by good acting and great scripts, E.R. went on to be top of the charts for months in a row.

But the reason I have decided to write in a review is in response to a response. Yes, John Doe's review was, in the nicest of words, pathetic. But that gives nobody the right to tear apart the greatest show on T.V. today. I am, of course, talking about the Sponge Bob. You knock Square Pants again, and Bob, Patrick and Plankton will go toe to toe with Dr. Carter, Green, and any other E.R. staff of your choosing.
