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.
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.
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.
