I always remembered ER as the show I was allowed to stay up for on Thursday nights, watching with my mom. I just realized it ran for 15 seasons, which means I was probably only seven when it started—and realistically, I probably wasn’t even allowed to stay up to watch it until a few years later.

So I’ve probably only ever seen a few seasons. By the time I was sixteen, I was a teenager who wanted nothing to do with being home on any night!

Anyway, I’m enjoying watching it like it’s brand new. The nostalgia is hitting hard. The show is incredibly well done—I’m on season 4, episode 1, and completely hooked. I haven’t really watched anything else in the past couple of weeks.
