ER Finale

One of the only tv shows that I've been watching for the longest time is ending tonight after 15 seasons. For a while I stopped watching but it wasn't anything against the show. It just seems rather difficult to pay attention to a show every week, especially 22 episodes long! So in preparation, I just watched seasons 10-15 and think I'm ready (imagine watching over 100 episodes at over 42 minutes a piece ugh!) The funny thing was that it still had the same emotional content for me that it had before, especially after the entire original cast had already left. It still caused the same laughs and cries as it did before. And with the final season, the ante was upped. Angela Bassett was brought on and it seems that that anyone that was on the show over the last 15 years made a cameo...and it didn't seem overworked. Getting to see all the old gang was refreshing, even to see George Clooney, who has moved on to become a huge star. And with tonight, the end has finally come. Many have said that this show has gone on long past its time. To those, I say maybe but sometimes good things die hard. And with ER being one of the most watched dramas on television once, I think this shining star earned this moment which should be treasured by all, old and new fans of the show.
