ER premiered when I was in college. We used to watch it while getting ready to go out (now, I watch it while getting ready to go to bed). It was always most enjoyable when nursing students were watching with us - they could translate all the medical code-speak into real English.
I haven't watched ER since I graduated from college. That is, until last night. I didn't watch the final episode in its entirety, and I didn't watch any of the retrospective. What I did watch was great. But, what I saw reminded me of why I quit watching in the first place. The emotional roller coaster this show took me on (every episode!) was just too much. I loved it, but I couldn't handle it.
