SET YOUR TIVOS. NOW: TNT will restart its cycle of ER reruns by re-airing the original two-hour pilot on Monday, November 24 at 10 am. You know, from back when the show was really good, or even great?
Like, not when they felt compelled to promote a standard-issue helicopter crash as THE BIGGEST EVENT IN ER HISTORY, as they are in the promos for next week's cheese-filled episode. Seriously? Bigger than Doug Ross leaving, Gant's suicide, Mark Greene dying, the blizzard episode, the hostage episode, the guy who died from hypocalcemia, Knight's murder, Doug's rescue of the drowning kid in the ravine, Shep's partner Raul dying in the fire, the random beatdown on Greene, Carter's entering rehab, Jeannie's HIV revelation, Susan leaving (the first time), or Peter Benton dressing up like Shaft for Halloween?
I'd give my right arm for an episode worthy of that hype.
