[sweeps] 12:20 AM

I just saw a tv spot for ER during sweeps, which proclaimed to have an "epic only ER could bring you," then it showed plane debris scattered over Cook County (with John Stamos to boot).

Sure New York may get destroyed and ravaged in Independance Day, Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow, and Ghostbusters, but ER is doing it's part to make Chicago the "fuck-up" city right behind the Big Apple and LA.

I love when Julianna Margulies (wisely) left the show she mentioned "there's only so many times a hospital emergency room can blow up," and she's right. There's also only so many times a train can crash (Gray's Anatomy sweeps stunt this november!), only so many times helicopter can plummet (twice it seems, both times involving Dr. Romano), and of course only so many times a tragic accident can happen RIGHT out front of the ER doors (those pesky drunk drivers).

Jumped the Shark? More like "jumped the shark on one side of the world, travelled through the center of the earth and jumped a shark on the other side. Blindfolded. And singing."

We had a good three years ER. I miss you, I catch you longingly at times on TNT, and I wish NBC would rename you Old Yeller.

Hey! San Francisco gets hit more then LA. You always see the great freeze, the fire, the wave, the aliens, taking out the Golden Gate and Transamerican building.
