In this episode, we wheel our pilot program gurney down the 1994 procedural drama hallway of ER. Join us in the exam room as we discuss how ER was the defibrillator for NBC, why George Clooney was basically a baby dinosaur, and which actors we would re-cast. Plus we touch on whose careers have flatlined and who came out with a prescription for stardom.
