I LOVE E.R...GREAT SHOW...

Me too. Especially at the end where those kids are bicycling the little alien back to the woods in time to meet the mothership and the bike takes off and starts flying! Yay Speilberg!

ER: The Complete First Season. This box set will hit stores on August 26th, and features all 25 episodes from the first season, including the 90-minute pilot. Billed as "one of the most comprehensive and extensive television DVDs ever released," each episode is presented in their original 4:3 full screen aspect ratio (the show didn't go 16x9 until later seasons) and Dolby 2.0 surround. Extras include "The First Year Intern Handbook," an interactive feature containing complete character profiles, 45 "patient" histories of the various guest stars that have appeared on ER and a medical terminology glossary, two audio commentary tracks on the pilot episode, one from Michael Crichton and John Wells and another from pilot director Rod Holcomb and key production crew, additional key production crew and director commentaries on the powerful "Love's Labor Lost" episode directed by Mimi Leder and "Sleepless in Chicago," directed by Christopher Chulack, two featurettes about the medical consultants and writers who created the show's trademark realism and the series' post-production process), outtakes and unreleased scenes and even more hidden bonus materials. Retail is $59.95 for the whole box, although according to the press release, this is only going to be a four-disc set, which seems awfully packed given the show's hour-long format and all the extras.
