ER: The Complete Series (All 331 Episodes) DVD Box Set
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!! My wife has wanted this set for quite a while, so I finally got it for her for her birthday. I personally had forgotten how well done this show was. We have been binge watching 2 or 3 episodes a night (most nights- we still have lives ;>} ) and loving every minute of it! There are 15 seasons and 331 episodes, so after several weeks, we are just getting to the end of season 3. Given that it’s the beginning of May and the busy summer season, I figure it’ll be fall before we finish it.
The medical parts are still just as well done as new dramas today, like Grey’s Anatomy. The social and personal dramas are just as relevant today as they were in the mid-90’s (yes, it’s been 20 years since it started! ) and it’s nostalgic to watch them try to work without cell phones or the internet and try to function with just land lines and fax machines. (If you really want to feel nostalgic, watch Rainman and the constant search for a pay phone during their cross country adventure…and then try to remember the last time you saw a pay phone). Another fascinating aspect of the show is the number of social issues they explored in just the first season alone, much less the whole series, and the depth with which they explored them. As I said, many of these issues are just as relevant today as they were 20 years ago. For example, in the first 3 seasons they have had story lines about; mental health, suicide, abortion, right to die, drug addiction, racial division and inequality, gender inequality, gun violence, healthcare insurance inadequacies, drug prices, transgender issues, gay rights and so on. Talk about relevant. That list could just as easily have been a rundown of issues to be discussed on the next Anderson Cooper show. It also may make it sound like it’s a very grim show and about as much fun to watch as Cspan. But, of course, the other story lines explore love, family, personal losses and victories, heroic triumphs of the human spirit, spiritual and personal growth and much more. They did an excellent job of juxtaposing these vastly different issues against each other in such a way that you will be ready to cry in one scene and then cheer in the next. Not much more I can say about it other than at 45 minutes per episode and 331 episodes, this is just shy of 250 hours, or 10+ days straight, of quality entertainment. It’s also far better than the vast majority of stuff on TV today, in my humble opinion. I hope this review has helped. Thanks- John W
I love ER, haven’t watched the whole set yet, but did open each dvd and they all seem to be in order and in good shape, the 2 seasons I have watched have had no problems at all. Nice boxed set, just wish they weren’t so expensive.-Linda
This set is well done and got for my wife who is an ER nut. The commercials are filtered out so it’s much better than watching on TV. Nice numbered cases too. CatDaddy & Biatch
