ER finale

So I'm sad to report that one of my favorite shows has finally ended. The show has been on for 15 seasons, almost as long as another show that wrapped up on NBC earlier this year "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" but unlike Conan, ER isn't coming back, unless you count a spinoff idea which probably won't work. The show was a critically and commercially successful show featuring the talents of Anthony Edwards, Julianna Marguiles, Eriq La Salle, Sherry Stringfield, Noah Wyle and perhaps the most famous actor in the world George Clooney. The show was the #1 show during 3 of Clooney's 5 seasons, and after he left the show still retained it's popularity despite constant cast changes. However after many of the series regulars began to leave including Marguiles, La Salle, and Anthony Edwards, the show seemed as though it ran it's course, using Noah Wyle as the main lead. I am a huge Noah Wyle fan, and I think he did a good job handling the lead, but the show's quality began to decline especially after the death of Rocket Robert Romano aka Paul McCrane, I began to lose interest in the show, while my family constantly watched it. Now I like the new cast and I have watched parts of the seasons following Wyle's deparature and there are alot of good things, and a lot of bad things. However for Season 15 the show brought in Angela Bassett, got rid of the talented Mekhi Phiffer, and brought back up cast members from prior seasons, including Anthony Edwards, Paul McCrane, Laura Innes, Julianna Marguiles, Eric La Salle, Alex Kingston, Noah Wyle, Sherry Stringfield and George Clooney. On tonight's episode the show ends in a typical way, nothing out of the ordinary like a stabbing, a shooting in the hospital, or a contimination in the hospital. The episode itself was alright, the idea that life still goes on in County General hospital, even with the addition of Mark Greene's daughter. I kind of wish the hospital shut down or something, but that would only get so far. Whatever the case, ER has been a great show, and it's sad to see County General close its doors for good.
