ER is a popular NBC serial drama primarily set in a teaching hospital s emergency room, the fictional County General in Chicago, Illinois. The series was created by novelist Michael Crichton. The first episode, known as 24 Hours, Pilot, or E,R.: The Movie, aired in the United States on September 19, 1994. It has won at least one Emmy every year of its production up to & including the 2003 awards & won the Peoples Choice Award for Favorite Television Dramatic Series every year from 1997 to 2002. Over the years, it has been nominated for and/or won numerous other awards including BAFTAs, Screen Actors Guild awards, TV Guide awards, Image Awards, GLAAD awards & Golden Globes. Before the 11th season it was announced that Alex Kingstons contract was not being renewed & she recently left the series. Also, Noah Wyle has announced his intention to leave the show at the end of the 2004-2005 season. The complete first season of ER was released on DVD on August 26, 2003. George Clooney previously starred in a similarly titled medical sitcom series in 1984 - 1985.

The electryfying 6th Season of ER sees the departures of Julianna Margulies, Gloria Reuben & Kellie Martin as well as the arrival of several new characters.

After losing George Clooney at the end of the 5th Season, the show tries to reinvent itself & is fairly successful in doing so with landmark episodes such as 'Great Expectations' which sees Nurse Hathaway go into labour on Thanksgiving & must rely on the help of Dr. Kovac & Dr. Greene to get through the painful delivery.

Perhaps the most shocking episodes in ER's history are featured in this set with the thrilling two parter 'Be Still My Heart' & 'All In The Family' which sees the brutal death of a series regular. If you haven't seen the episode then I won't spoil the ending for you but be sure to watch because it forever changes the character of John Carter who is faced with a life-altering decision in the season finale after the massacre.

However all is not miserable on this set with PA Jeanie Boulet realising her HIV status shouldn't control her life finally finding happiness in the form of a new husband & baby which leads to her leaving the show early in Season 6 after 5 years on the show.

In the most highly publicised move of the show's history, Julianna Margulies sensationally quit the show after turning down $27million to return for a further 2 years. After 6 years in the role, Nurse Hathaway bids farewell to County General in the penultimate episode of this season titled 'Such Sweet Sorrow' & her goodbye turned out to be one of the best kept secret in TV history. If you haven't seen this episode & want to see how the Doug-Carol storyline comes to an end, purchase this terrific sixth season of ER!

George Clooney may have left & the show may be a shadow of its former self, but the show is still one of the best around & with brilliant appearances by Emmy Award winning actor Alan Alda in the role of Attending Physician Dr. Gabe Lawrence who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, ER rises above the pack & delivers one of its best seasons yet.

For long term fans who have watched the show from the beginning, this could be considered the shows last year of classic ER because from Season 7 on, the show moves away from the original characters we've come to grow & love & moves into the future!
