Last night 15 years of TV watching came to an end for me. I have followed ER since the beginning. I watched when George graced us with his presence and when Carter went through life altering changes. I watched Abby drink again and even yelled at her through my TV. I watched Sally Field give the performances of her life as Abby’s bipolar mother. I watched Dr. Green become ill and die. I cried with Elizabeth. I watched Neila loose her husband and I watched Luca struggle with the loss of his family as he started a new one. I watched so many things over the past 15 years. The characters became friends whom I visited with each Thursday. I watched all through my JR. and Sr. years of high school, all through college and through kids one, two and three.
With all of that said I was disappointed last night. I put the kids to bed super early so that I could start watching at 8pm sharp. I settled down and waited. I enjoyed a look back and waited with baited breathe for what was to come next. Then it started. I sat in the front of my seat anxiously waiting for something to happen! I waited for it to be the best ER EVER. Guess what… it certainly did not meet my expectation.
The lives of cast members went on as is. Didn’t they know that I was looking for some closure? I needed Neila to marry someone. I needed Carter to be happy with or without his wife. I needed it all wrapped up. I did not need them to continue on about their lives. Now I have to rely on my imagination to figure out all of the things that could happen from here. I think that I would have rather had the ER explode and had them all die. I do not know why they could not have ended it all for me. Now I have to spend all this time thinking about it. Being annoyed about it.
Oh and on a side note shame on you George Clooney for not showing up and finishing what you had started. It launched you into greater things. How could you turn your nose up at them? You are a little less hot to me now!

I didn’t get a chance to watch it – now I guess I’m not disappointed!
I watch ER for the first couple of seasons, but they got a little carried away with at few “issues” after that, and I did not find it as entertaining. However, I think I will find this episode online and watch it because it will be interesting to see some of those earlier characters come back one last time. So, I am going to refrain from watching your snippet of video for now.
Thanks for visiting my “groovy” blog and commenting about my son. From what I have seen, I am really liking your blog. I’ll visit again when I can stay awhile longer!
Bethany I think that you should still watch it. It is an end to an era. I just thought that it could have been a better end.

Sandra I think that it is worth seeing for memory reasons but I sat on the seat of my pants waiting to see what would happen and there was nothing big and dramatic as I expected. It was not what I was looking for! I guess perhaps I feel that they should have called me to write the last one! lol… Enjoy it.
I hope you do come back again! I am glad that you liked it. I also enjoyed you site a lot! Thanks for coming.

Remember, dear Becca, this is just a tv show that allows you an hour a week to distract yourself from your own life. I know you like a happy ending, but that is not real either. I know a guy that hates American TV because it is painfully predictable. And since I am out of the habit of watching said show, it is hard to have such feelings for them.
I am sorry that it is as if you have lost a bunch of friends. All good things come to an end…
Peggie I know that that is not real… that is why I think that at least the TV show should end with some closure. It doesn’t have to be so real. I just wanted all of the loose ends tied up! I do know that all good things come to an end. To be honest it should have come to an end about 4 years ago! I just hated the end that it came to!
