I usually don’t comment on top 20 network rankings on TBTN, but I couldn’t resist this one. ER is number one across the board including double digit numbers! Many of you may not know this, but I am a HUGE fan of ER, and I just love how it CONTINUES to piss off the haters! (How long have people been saying ER should be off the air? At least 5 seasons?)What shall they dine on tonight? I suggest crow with a side order of feathers! LOL
I can count one one hand the number of times I’ve cried while watching A LOT of TV in my lifetime, but I will no doubt cry when I watch the SERIES FINALE of ER. Side note: I NEARLY cried when I was watched ER (live) and the title “The Beginning of The End” appeared on the screen.
Question: I don’t know if the sets have been destroyed or if they are in the process of doing so, but could NBC “pull a The CW” (remember the “series finale” of 7th Heaven?) and air a 16th season of ER? Although I’m a HUGE fan of ER, I DON’T want NBC to pull a The CW.
ER looks good in shape because its ending soon.
I miss the days when the World Figure Skating Championships was one of the best bets for a Saturday night hit.
