ER: season 1

- This item is new and in original wrapping Description ER has won numerous Emmy® awards and takes place at Chicago County General Hospital – a series that continues in the same spirit as the former Hill Street Blues. Like Hill Street Blues, ER features a range of strong characters whose chaotic work lives often spill over into their private lives. The series also offers a fast-paced and stylish mix of comedy, intrigue, and tragedy. It can also be seen as a precursor to The West Wing in the sense that we marvel at how the characters manage to stay afloat in this everyday chaos and tackle the many problems they constantly encounter. In the emergency room, chaos can mean addicts, violent patients rushing through glass doors, vengeful colleagues, or a chief surgeon who insists that his colleagues operate on his sick dog. The first season is best known for introducing George Clooney as the sympathetic but somewhat independent Dr. Ross, and the series has often featured guest stars such as Sally Field and Ewan McGregor. In other seasons we have seen various characters come and go. But if there is one character who embodies the strength of ER, it is Dr. Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards). He is so dedicated to his work that he has declined lucrative and comfortable offers in the private sector, and he embodies decency, selflessness, and emotional stability. The episodes dealing with his father’s death were among the series’ most moving and touched on the topic that always lay beneath the surface of ER – reconciliation with death. This DVD box set contains 8 DVDs with all episodes from ER, Season 1, and has a total running time of 19 hours. Region Code 2 Edition Running time in minutes 1140 Year of Production 1994
