Summary: Quite simply the best TV drama series ever!
Review: Having seen so many dire hospital dramas ("Casualty" and the like) I must admit I never thought I could possibly get into a series like "ER". That is until two friends insisted I watched an episode one Friday night on Channel 4 and within 30 mins I was hooked. Since then I've probably missed no more than 3 or 4 episodes and every one I've watched has been streets ahead of the competition.

I hope people won't take offence when I say that US shows often run the risk of drifting into over-sentimentality. They do. But ER's greatest strength is the ability to handle the most emotional of story lines without it ever feeling that the line has been crossed. It's blend of realism and top-draw performances from the whole cast delivers TV that's right on the edge. It's quite simply the best show I've ever seen.

If anyone reading this is a Warner Bros executive, please please please release some box sets of the show. I'm quite sure I'm not the only one who'd buy up the lot straight away!

Summary: ER Needs To Be Released On DVD!
Review: Other than the news, I have never really been interested in television shows of any kind. However, one evening while sick in bed, I turned on the television and ER was on. I watched an episode called "All In The Family", and anyone who has seen that episode knows of the tragedy that took place. It was so well presented and acted, that I soon found myself in tears. I have not missed another episode since. It is an excellent show which accurately depicts what can happen in any emergency room and I am very anxious to add every episode of ER to my DVD collection.

Summary: Med students
Review: ER is such a technically accurate show that when it first came out my medical school sponsored "ER" parties at the school lounge every Thursday night. Whenever Carter the medical student was pimped a question by his resident or attending students would yell out the answer to see who would get it right. It was great review especially before exam week. Although it's gotten more dramatic & less technical in recent seasons, there's still a few rare "classic cases" with "classic signs & symptoms" that students don't get to see much on the real floors (Wilson's Disease & Trisomy 18 were recent examples on the show). They should make an ER DVD with a quiz or game component, where they play a scene in the episode where a patient presents w/ signs & symptoms & just before the doctor says what they have & how it should be treated, a multiple choice screen pops up asking "what's the diagnosis" or "what's the next step in management doc?" Then, have the scene play out after they give their answer with information on the disease in closed caption at the bottom. It would be fun for doctors & educate the public.

Summary: ER
Review: I have been watching ER since day one because I just love "GEORGE CLOONEY" that was the main reason. but, as I got to see the type of issued it reflexs on I got hooked. It's a shame that they don't have it on DVD. it deserve to be on DVD along with all the other TV shows that are on DVD and are not even as good as ER. I will be the first one to buy it once it becomes available on DVD. A GREAT ER LOVER...............

Summary: The Best Show Ever!!!!!!!
Review: ER is the best show I've ever come across. I've been watching it for 3 years now and have enjoyed every last show. I hope it comes out on DVD before the Holidays of 2003 so I can get it as a gift and not have to buy it on my own. I've been waiting for this DVD and as soon as it comes out I'm going to buy it!!!

Summary: ER ROCKS!
Review: I have to have this DVD!!!! I am obsessed with this show. Everytime I go into a store I check to see if for some reason they have ER's seasons on DVD, but of course I am always brought down because they never have it! I would absolutly freak if it came out on DVD becuase it is probably the best show ever!! I tape all the episodes and watch it everyday!!! Keep the show alive!

Summary: THE BEST THING ON TELEVISION
Review: Well I have to admit that I haven't watched this show all nine years. I started in the sixth year being a casual watcher, but two years ago I got Mono and last year I got my Sinius Scraped. Each time I missed a Semester of school. What got me back on my feet, and what made me go on was watching The reruns of this show on TNT and the Buffy reruns. It is such a downright shame that this show isn't on DVD, Its one of the best things that ever aired. Please release this on DVD, you would please so many people. Anyway, with most shows the first isn't the best but it's key to the plot. The best season is the Third and Fourth. We can all hope they will come out in due time.

Summary: ER on DVD
Review: In my opinion, this is one of the best shows on tv. The excitement, drama and non-stop pace make it the greatest. I missed the first season, thinking it was just another "guts and gore" show. After seeing one episode in season 2, I was interested and after 2 more, I was hooked. I would love for it to be put on DVD. Not just 1 or 2 episodes, but the full season. It would be worth it. ER is excellant.

Summary: The Best Show Ever!!
Review: I have been watching this show ever since I can remember. Of all the TV series that are on DVD this is probably the only one I would buy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the few series I would buy on DVD
Review: ER is one of the best shows I've ever seen. I've been watching it from the airing of the Pilot and I've been hooked ever since. If you are looking for an emotional high this is the show to watch. The writers and actors are amazing. Each episode makes me laugh, cry, and gets my adrenaline pumping. This show confronts extremely controversial, contemporary issues and even though I'm not in the medical profession I believe that it is very realistic. Anyone who works with a lot of people day in and day out can relate to what it is like to be pulled in several different directions at once and still try to maintain a professional facade, which I think this show pulls off beautifully.
