Anyone else on here a fan? I've been watching it since it started, 15 years ago, and it seems weird that it'll never be on again. I know they ended it becuase ratings were falling and people weren't satisifed with the writing but it really seemed to pick up during the last season to some of the best stuff they've done.

With this gone, Sopranos ending last year, The Shield and The Wire finishing recently, I have completely run out of reasons to own a TV.

I used to always watch it, but haven't watched any of the last 2 seasons (could even be 3). I was just getting tired of all the non-hospital story lines, and I didn't think much of the characters they had been bringing in to replace departing ones.

Still not watched the last season of The Shield. I've had it since it showed in the US, but never got round to watching it. Now the current season for the shows I download have finished I'll watch it.

I loved ER but it's always on at really stupid times!


You have to watch the final series of The Shield! Some of it is a bit predictable, but I was crying my eyes out, shocking, but bloody brilliant! Best thing I have EVER watched on TV biggrin
Might have to have a marathon session watching them all again now!

I watched it for the first 12 years or so, then it just started to get silly.

I do wish they would re-run some of the classic's.....Like when Green passes on cry

Greenes death was bad enough but I also thought Gregg Pratt's death was handled so well. Proper moving stuff.

Gonna miss the show and actually think season 15 was the strongest in a while.

I was an avid watcher for the first several seasons, then it got harder to track down when it was on and I started to lose interest. However I did watch the last half of the final season just because I thopught it was the right thing to do!. It was good to see the old characters and I found myself enjoying it again, so I am a bit gutted it has finished!
