ER... Wait, what? I missed how many seasons?

I've never been one of those faithful ER watchers. In fact up until a month ago, I had never seen a full episode. I had always figured I wouldn't like it, so I never bothered to check it out. Well now that it is nearing it's last 2 episodes, I actually started watching it (thanks to Hulu), and let me tell you I'm now interested.

I started watching on Episode 16 ("The Beginning of the End") of Season 15th (the current and last season), which I might add was the first episode in which Noah Wyle returned (I love him). I actually liked it. It might be because of Noah Wyle and of course John Stamos doesn't hurt. But, I also enjoyed the fast paced banter and dialogue. Granted as we near the end of the show the episodes do the best they can to tug at the viewer's heartstrings, well more like yank until you can't take it anymore.

Not to mention, since it is in fact it's last season, ER and its producers are pulling out all the stops. For every character that was previously on the show (that wasn't killed off in the show) that they can get have returned for the final farewell. They've had George Clooney, Noah Wyle, Maura Tierney, Eriq La Salle, William H. Macy, and Julianna Margulies, and others that I don't know since I just started watching it. Along with bringing back old characters, they've had big name stars and other celebrities come on the show as well like Susan Sarandon, Judy Greer, Courtney B. Vance, and Steve Buscemi.

Despite the fanfare and my lack of knowing the details and backstories, I would actually say that I'm hooked, and I will for sure watch the last two episodes. I'm not sure if I loved it enough to go and get the beginning seasons on DVD and watch all the episodes from beginning to end, but I may consider watching a few seasons on DVD. Again thanks to Hulu, you can watch the last 11 episodes of this current season along with clips, excerpts, recaps, and interviews.

I recommend watching ER and its last episodes, especially if you can sit and watch them on your computer and or other "portable computing devices" as Alec Baldwin says in the Hulu commercial. I laughed, I cried, it moved me... go watch it.
