‘ER’ Closes 2007 with Its 300th Episode
Medical Drama in for the Long Haul
Well, maybe not literally closes since NBC might very well air repeats of ER before 2008 arrives. But, the last original episode of the medical drama’s current season does premiere tonight at 10:01pm EST, and it also happens to be the 300th installment in the series’ impressive 14-season history.
In typical chaotic trauma fashion, “300 Patients” will revolve around just what the title says: 300 patients that the emergency room team at Chicago’s County General Hospital must treat, all in one frenzied day. And, wouldn’t you know it, that’s exactly what the harried docs and nurses manage to do.
Stopping by to ramp up the guest-star power are Peter Fonda, who plays a husband in for a very big surprise when his wife becomes a patient after a car accident, and 24‘s Reiko Aylesworth, whose character only wants to give everyone her blessing.
Although ER hasn’t been officially renewed for a 15th season as of yet, rumor has it that that possibility is under discussion right now. Cheers to another one of television’s enduring performers.
ER currently airs Thursdays on NBC at 10:01pm EST
