I remember my mom had me watching this with her along with my siblings on NBC and telling us "Shhhh my show is on"! Growing up in the #90s and #00s was awesome
My mother was (and still is) a big fan of the series. The show was running originally at 8 PM, and it was the only way for me not to go sleep at 8 as a kid, as she allowed me to watch it. Eventually I grow up enough for it to not be the reason, but I kept watching it regardless. Just because it's simply a good series. No medical drama ever before or after reached this potential.
Nicholas Langley YEAH!! Growing up the beginning of the theme used to make me nervous- Because I would think 'Oh no its the hospital!!!' and as the show went on, I had a slight interest because John Stamos was on it. 12 when the show ended- and now I wish I would have watched and paid attention when my mom watched it!!!
sorry for mention to your voice after seven years i want someone to know an actor named Norihiro Inoue who played Dr Greenes voice in japan passed away recently. when he died many fans cried,saying"Oh,DrGreene!!" i hope you have chance to see japanese version of ER and see how his voice was terrific as Dr Greene. from japan
The first five seasons of HOUSE is as good as ER. But Grey's Anatomy is just bad. They used to sell this Dr. McDreamy character to coax viewers into watching the awful show.
My mom used to watch this often while drinking black coffee and eating biscotti. My bedtime was pretty early, but I remember she let me stay up once or twice with her to watch this. She let me have some of her biscotti, too. I remember feeling really grown up :')
When I was little I had round-the-clock nursing because I had both a trach and a G-tube as well as some other medical issues I can’t remember. The nurses would always watch the show with me so I don’t remember the episodes all that well but the theme song is imprinted into my brain. I still come back to listen to it every couple months.
Also.. Since you folks seem like the crowd that would care.. My mom served as a nurse for 38 years at Swedish Medical Center. She never stopped helping people until she passed away from cancer. She was awesome and when I was growing up she obviously loved this show and as a kid I thought it was so cool that mom was the real life version of what was on tv. Uniforms and all. It was awesome. Mom I love you. ❤ You're my hero.

@@vickynavarroalburquerque6876 true, and let this sink in..... IT WAS FROM 1994! AN ALMOST ACCURATE DEPICTION OF HOW LIFE AT A MAJOR HOSPITAL TRULY GOES IS FROM 1994, NOT THE 2000S!
A friend of mine is an ER doc and was practicing in California when this show was filmed. He told me he was called by the producers for story ideas based on his experience. So, he said the show was realistic, but the reality is not quite as exciting as the show made it. He laughed that they used all 3 of the stories he shared in one episode but he would have never had all three experiences in one night.
I remember the first time I heard this and how slick and modern it felt . Still sounds epic 30 years later. This is the original commercial release by James Newton Howard where he extended it out from the main TV cues . The original TV mix has the sequenced synth and choir swells much higher in the mix . The guitar in the end motif is much louder too . And of course no sax solos .
Hey guys, I did not pass the test. But I decided to enroll in a Software Engineer MBA and I´m concluding it on April. Also, today I did the last stage for an interview for a junior developer position in a company in my town!
One of my best Medical Shows among many others, this show and Doogie Houser MD had a strong impact on me to be in the medical field..I'm training to be an EMT and still love watching my medical shows I learn a lot from watching them
Love the theme song! The best medical drama tv series, waaay better than Grey's Anatomy! I would always stay up after midnight on Saturday nights to watch the reruns! Huge crush on Dr. John Carter, Dr. Greene too! :P
This brings back so many memories! I think it was Thursday night? I would want to stay and watch but my parents would usher me out and state that their show was on :)
Only two shows ever grabbed my attention in a big way: 'ER' and 'The X-Files'. I bought and still own 2 'ER' books and the OST CD that was released. I was rather obsessed with Mark Greene and used to cut out pics of him, which were kept in a poly-pocket in a ring binder. I cried when he passed.
I miss this show as everyone is missing it. But since this show and House M.D made me think of helping people when I was growing up I decided to become a nurse in college and after college and medical school I am going to be a surgeon. Thank you ER for being on air while it lasted. :)
Love that theme song. Saw every Ep 94-09. Great acting, cast, storylines, and deserved to stay on so long. I think everybody just wanted a break. Sooner or later we'll all be in an ER and hope the docs and nurses are as good (and hot) as on the show!
I love the way this show ended. I know that’s not the most popular opinion but it was the perfect way to end a story you can’t really write an ending to. The way the El went by during another trauma at County brings me to tears. The whole ending does. Not to mention when Carter calls Rachel Dr. Greene ahhhhhhhhhhh
This is actually an awesome piece of music. Why did gatekeepers fail to recognise that there was often better music in TV, movies and videogames instead of most crap in the charts during the '90s.
never watched this but this song fucks in a sorta eerie way when it feels like something from childhood but you can tell it was made before you were born? Something barely before my time y'know
You've got to love this. One of the all time great TV Shows, with one of the all time great theme songs. Absolutely love this. My favorite character is Abby, she is brilliant. And Neels is a babe as well. I will definitely have to one day start from episode 1, but for now I'm up to season 12 and will watch until the end, then start from the very start.
I was obsessed with this show as a kid. Would sneak out of bed in the middle of the night to watch it. It was always my dream to work in a hospital (I was the terminally ill kid who was always watching the RNs tediously as they busted ass, always reading medical dictionaries, etc). I’m 30 now and I started working in the ER where my son was born and it’s honestly so much better than TV 🤣
When the show moved away from this intro song it was a completely different vibe (not necessarily for the better imo).. Iconic introduction from my childhood...
This was my favorite show on tv. Every Thursday night I’d CRANK my television volume as loud as I could. I’m sure my apartment neighbors hated Thursday nights!😂
Never seen or heard of this show. But I did heared its theme from a video from the Edward hospital presting the lastest, the Da Vinci Surgical System. It shows the robot sowing back the skin of a grape.
Whatever alternative scenario you might place this is, with the keyboard and electric guitar making it suitable for a late night city drive or the melodic sax giving off vibes from those astereotypical 80s sitcom intros, remember that James Newton Howard earned an Emmy nomination for this. One listen and you will understand why. And this is my first time listening to it!
Man, I remember my parents would watch this on NBC Thursday Nights. When we lived in Houston, I'd sit through this on KPRC Channel 2 and wait for the News 2 Houston Nightbeat at 10!
I admit, I loved House MD and binged the series on Netflix many years ago, but.... ER was the original medical show in my life that captured my attention and the first one of its type . so it holds a place in my heart (the first few seasons anyway) :)
I remember my mum watching this show on sky one and e4 in the uk this gives me back memories of the show when dr mark green was in it and dr Carter was in the show
This is the greatest television theme of all time
👍
The greatest show ❤
Sunset beach?
I loved the show, my late husband too. He passed away just working on his own PhD. Great and bright 90s. I miss you ...
Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss 😭😭
Deberian volver este tipo dr series
No one cares
I remember my mom had me watching this with her along with my siblings on NBC and telling us "Shhhh my show is on"! Growing up in the #90s and #00s was awesome
me too.. I guess cuz my mom's a nurse..but I liked the show regardless as a child at the time. the intro music really was always favorite part tho

Emily Graziano I passed slot of attention to the show at an young age and know a lot of medical things
Nicholas Langley me and my mom watched this a lot back then too.
My 15 years and counting career in the medical field as a pediatrician is a result of my fascination for this classic TV drama series...
What did you do for them? Pediatric neuro or what?
It makes sence to me,too. This TV series gave me a brave heart not to give up my dream. Now I work as a pediatric surgeon.
How many C-19 "vaccines" did you administer?

this theme song gives me goosebumps…really takes me back!
James Newton Howard... what a fucking great talent! It's the same guy who write many great film scores nowdays!
Choosing a waltz as the theme for the series was great
This song is great for driving through a city at night
agreed.....the first part i feel like i hear life and death repeated several times
that old synth vibe
The song is great for blowing your brains out
Nice!! Im totally doin that!
I will vouch for that
One of my fave childhood memories was watching this show every week with my mom. I miss this show.
Same here
me 2. good old times...
Holli Carson same here. Geez, how many of us have watched this show with our mothers? 😄. I guess its a mother and son/daughter thing
jo tambien!
It was a family thing in my case. Me, My Parents, My Grandmother(sometimes), My Sister and her Boyfriend(now Husband) would watch ER.
God I miss this show like hell, it was the best medical drama ever and I miss it like you have no idea, ahh all the memories this brings me.
Yep greatest ever! I loved how they had the secret room in the back where all the past doctor's laid there claim to the hospital's roots!
Watch every weekday on PopTV!!!!

It was the best by far. I also watched House and Good Doctor. Also Australian show All Saints.
Está serie me inspiro para ser médico. Y actualmente soy médico oncólogo pediatra. Gracias a esta serie pude hacer mi sueño realidad.
👍
The best theme ever! James Newton Howard is a genius! I get chills listening to this.

Ever

This is the music that always gives me goosebumps and this is the show why I decided to become the MD!
+TARJA I became a MD after M.A.S.H…….. But this one would have influenced me too!!
+TARJA I have always been an MD as my initials are MD ;) lol
So this is your theme song, kinda?
I think I understand. Don't give up on me!
Me too, and i am a MD, but i don't grab a clinical residency, i prefer investigation branch (Epidemiology residency).
Some TV shows stay with you and bring back memories just with the music alone. This is a phenomenal example.
ER is the only TV theme song that I NEVER skip when I'm bingeing the show. Which I do on a pretty regular basis.
This show makes me have so much respect for what the doctors, nurses and surgeons deal with on a daily basis.
This was the most realistic out of all the medical dramas out there....

It’s a great song for a person who just got accepted into medical school who she is on top of the freaking world
Or lying in hospital and recovering

A timeless classic on television for the world!!!

I still miss ER every Thursday night at 10 PM. Best TV series EVER!!!! ♥
Still watching ER in 2017 😄 love it soo much💗

One of the best TV shows of all time! Great theme song as well!
I LOVE this great song!
E.R is one the BEST series of the 90's
I watched a lot in my teenager years in the 90's
The last sequence of beats makes you energized
Una de las mejores intro! Me recuerda al lugar donde vivía antes! Cuanta nostalgia! 😍
You do realize that ER takes place in Chicago Illinois right?
Hearing this bring me my college days
James Newton Howard! That's why it's so good!
ARCHANGEL Exactly!
The guy who did the box-office failure biographical western Wyatt Earp.
Logo Film and the guy who also made the composition for Unbreakable.
I will always LOVED this theme song (the opening still gives me chills) just as much as the show. RIP ER you'll always be missed

Omg listening to this instantly brings me back to the days at my nana’s house lol. I had to be like 2 or 3 years old. I’m 23 now
By the time I remember this show, they had already drop the theme.

What do you mean by ER books?
I have a book about the making of ER and 13 seasons on DVD.
QUE MUSICA INOLVIDABLE. HERMOSA.

yo recuerdo.mucho ess serie , actualmente la repiten , muy buena , excelente las historias de los medicos y pacientes
I think now we have to thank this show for inspiring the doctors that are in the Frontline with this pandemic.
This was my favorite show for YEARS! I miss it, too.
This theme song takes me back to the good days
This theme is so fucking good that it actually motivated me to catch the show. Tripping on those synth pieces in the prelude, fantabulous stuff.
Proud nurse here. Inspirational. always did love the show !
Good job so proud of u btw
Im convinced this is what an actual ER sounds like
ofc. sax is the best ost while someone is having their gall bladder taken out.

Best theme tune I played it over and over when I watched ER please replay episodes of this fab TV show.
This is so nostalgic. Man I miss the 90s.
As a kid, I used to have a toy ambulance that played this song, so many amazing childhood memories
Never seen or heard of this show. But I did heared its theme from a video from the Edward hospital presting the lastest, the Da Vinci Surgical System. It shows the robot sowing back the skin of a grape.
