I've never watched ER. It was on a lot when I was a kid and it reminded me too much of the soap operas that were also on; absolute disinterest

Anyways, the link preview was hilarious to me

Not the subject of him dying but just the title is so direct

I, too, skipped ER when I was a kid, mostly because of how cheesy that intro sounded and I also thought it was just another General Hospital type soap opera.

I'm rewatching it now at age 36. It's excellent. Smartly written, engaging, fast paced, and it holds up in 2025.

Stupid intro.

Michael Crichton was behind the project, so it had actual writing and a decent narrative behind it. I think the only medical show I've liked more was Scrubs, which despite being a comedy had some amazing and memorable episodes.

I've heard The Pitt is a good modern successor (and in fact was originally planned to be an ER reboot early in production), but I'm completely burned out on medical dramas at this point.

Thank you for that. I guarantee you when I think of ER it's a mashup of them both and I should probably give it a fair shake. There's a lot of shows my parents watched that I didn't appreciate until I was older

My family watched Northern Exposure and I absolutely fell in love with it when I gave it a shot a few years ago
