ER season 14 thread
Good grief, how much frikkin' blood did Neelah lose in the OR?
Gee, Tony goes nuts on another scumbag in the ER, it must be Thursday.
Overall, not all that great of a season opener for me.

Re: ER season 14 premiere 9/27/07
I'm just trying to think how many seasons ago when this show jumped the shark. I'm not sure now.
Performances were phoned in. Some just looked bored. The script rotated between being very insulting and just contrived.
I've stuck with ER a long time, but after tonight, season pass revoked.

Re: ER season 14 premiere 9/27/07
I was planning on watching last night but decided that I've seen enough. The show is just a shell of its former self. I've started using that hour to watch the 8PM Smallville on the DVR.

Re: ER season 14 premiere 9/27/07
My wife walks by and says 'another season of you watching this crap?'
I agreed but said yes. I'll watch but not enthusiastically. Just like if I start a book or movie that's totally crappy, I won't stop until the end.

I feel your pain. I can't stop watching either. I wish they'd just cancel it and I'd be free from my obligation to keep watching.  |

Re: ER season 14 premiere 9/27/07
Right?
Wonder if we can start and internet petition to cancel the show so people like us can be free of the burden.

Re: ER season 14 premiere 9/27/07
Well, the ratings for this season's opener dropped a lot when compared to last season's opener, like over 35%.

Re: ER season 14 premiere 9/27/07
Isn't this also a really expensive show? My wife watched on our DVR (I revoked it the rest of the year but did record the premiere) her comment made me laugh:
"He's like doctor death.. first 3lbs dead. Now ER"
Not blaming it on his character, but it is a funny thing. People criticize Grey's for being soapy, etc. but it is at least enjoyable and manages to entertain. This show suffers from the same problem that "Tell Me You Love Me" does.. it's just not very entertaining to watch.

Re: ER season 14 premiere 9/27/07
Tucci's character has the problem is sucking the air out of the room when he's in a scene. I think John Stamos was the one that started ER on its downward spiral in terms of likable characters in a difficult job.

Re: ER season 14 premiere 9/27/07
It's funny, because I'm another person who doesn't really like ER any more and hasn't in couple of years but I still watch it.
I thought this episode was pretty awful actually. Tucci must be the 3rd or 4th new ER chief to come in and shake things up and be hated by the staff. How many times can they pull this trick? It's already obvious Tucci's character is going to crack up in the ER.
The Neela plot...didn't care. Another old trick to put a doctor/staff in critical condition and have everyone else "worry" about it for an hour. The show started that way with Hathaway's O.D, then there was Carter & Lucy, and Greene etc.
So why do I keep watching? I have no idea.
