Pick of the Week: An "ER" To Cherish

Anytime a series comes to an end, it’s an important occasion.

But when a series comes to an end after 15 seasons on the air, it’s a major event…

My Pick of the Week is the series finale of “ER.”

The team at County General will say goodbye as Carter (Noah Wyle) opens a facility for the underprivileged and a few old friends return to show their support, including Dr. Lewis (Sherry Stringfield), Dr. Weaver (Laura Innes), Dr. Benton (Eriq LaSalle) and Dr. Corday (Alex Kingston).

Plus, if reports are true, we’ll get the return of another cast member that will allow the show to come full circle in a beautiful way.

The two-hour finale will be preceded by an hour-long retrospective with clips and cast interviews.

I really hope they show more of Paul McCrane (Dr. Romano) than all that helicopter nonsense. He deserves better…

The NBC promos for “ER” were always the most dramatic on the air as each week they told you this was the one you could not afford to miss. But this time, I have to say it truly is “an ‘ER’ to cherish”…

The series finale of “ER” airs Thursday, April 2nd at 9 p.m. on NBC with the retrospective at 8 p.m….
