Last September, we asked you what your favorite medical tv shows are. By far, the number one voted show is House, as of this writing. Those of you that love House will probably be pleased to learn that there will be a new video game based on the show. Read on!
Mayor Richard M. Daley today thanked the producers, crew and cast members of the NBC drama “ER”, from Warner Bros. Television, for their contributions to Chicago.
Currently in its fifteenth and final season, “ER”, the longest running production ever to film in Chicago will complete its final shoot in the city this weekend.
This week’s episodes of Scrubs had a few problematic areas, but were overall pretty good ones. The problems lay in the humor of the second episode especially being overly crass at times. The inappropriate comedy isn’t my cup of tea, though the episodes did provide some good clean humor as well as interesting storylines to help offset it.

This week’s episodes were terrific, but curiously absent from the cast was Dr. Chris Turk. I know that this year is definitely a year of change for the show, as they make their way toward the season finale, and perhaps the passing of the torch to a team of new Doctors for a possible ninth season (fingers crossed). Anyway, let’s get to brass tacks.
After the Super Bowl, an episode of The Office aired, where they had CPR training for a scene. It was really incredible, and featured proper CPR instruction at times. The CPR class include using the BeeGee’s Stayin’ Alive to use the beat to match the proper rhythm of 100 beats per minute.
The episode was titled “Stress Relief” and you can watch the CPR portion here.
Watch the full episode after the break.

ER's Julianna Margulies and George Clooney return this spring
George Clooney was on ER back when I watched the show, and really had no idea who he was. I was in high school at the time, and wasn’t aware of the popularity of really anyone in any cast over another. The only other things that I’ve seen Clooney in are the Ocean’s Trilogy, Three Kings, O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Spy Kids.
Entertainment Tonight is reporting that the actor is returning to the role that arguably made him a star in an episode of ER that will be airing this spring.
Clooney left the show in 1999 to go into the film industry, but returned for an episode in 2000 to provide some closure to his character’s story. I expect that this return to the show is inspired by a return to visit the family that he left behind on the set. It’s a good way to pay his respects to the show that brought him from the B-list to the A-list. He was on the show from 1994-2000 and appeared in 108 episodes in the role of Dr. Doug Ross.
This week, two more episodes aired, and it looks like that’s going to be the trend, as the schedule calls for two episodes a week over the next two weeks as well. ABC is being awesome to us Scrubs fans. I’m not sure what the final count of episodes is going to be for this season, but I hope that the ratings are great enough that the series is picked up for a ninth season. We should know by May.
This weeks episodes continued the storyline featuring Courteney Cox as the Chief of Medicine at Sacred Heart Hospital.
Seeing as it’s been on for fifteen seasons, and it’s currently the number two most popular medical tv show in our poll, I figured this was a relevant story to report on.
It seems that, in the midst of talks for a new series called “Police,” there have also been talks to film three more episodes for the medical drama ER’s final season. ER was scheduled to end its’ fifteen-year run on March 12th with a two hour finale.
Two episodes aired last night, and it looks like this will be the trend for the next couple of weeks, at the very least. It was a definite return to form for the show, as the super quirky scenarios of the last couple of years were indeed jettisoned to bring back some of what made the show great to begin with.
Kicking things off with the first return episode, here’s the summary from ABC:
