ER Fans in Unrest Over No Full Episodes on NBC
I get to a lot of places on the Net. Of the many places I travel to is message boards and forums for the fans of ER. I check the gossip, I read the lovey-dovey story lines, I put in my 2 cents when appropriate but mostly I lurk.
While lurking last week, I saw an overwhelming number of people upset and in dismay over NBC not putting full episodes of ER on the site. The general consesus at the NBC ER site is that most posters looked for the season premiere to be up on the site. But alas all that The Powers That Be wanted us to see was the two minute replay.
Is this Football?
Why only two minutes? Why not five? Are the storylines not exciting enough that it can be summed up in two minutes? I don’t see the point in two minutes. It surely didn’t answer my questions about the show. Nor did it allow me enough time to pick one line and get the full picture of it.
I have a theory as to why we don’t see a complete ER episode on NBC.
It’s old. I mean, 14 years??? That is a long running show. We have discussed before how the show has lost some steam, the great characters that have come and gone and the many twists and turns the show has taken us through. We also discussed how the wants and needs of the fans seem to be falling on deaf ears over at NBC.
So once again, it looks like NBC has their own idea of what will make the fans happy.
hatever happened to the customer is always right? I guess that doesn’t apply to television customers huh?

Oh, that must be annoying!
But look at it this way: I live out where I can’t get high speed internet, and can’t really watch any vidoes at all online.
Perhaps two minutes is better than none?
At any rate, I did live for a while where there was high speed, and watching at my leisure on my own computer was HEAVEN!

I have high speed now and I don’t care if I have to sell off a kid, I am never going back.

Can someone help me get a video of the Oct. 4th show? I have never missed an episode of ER - I thought it was on Season Pass and it wasn’t so, I missed it while I went to a banquet. I will pay for tape and shipping….

[...] I decided to do some searching to see if I really could find a little snippet of the shows I have missed. I hate the two minute replay. It makes me feel like I am watching the sports recap on the nightly news or something. WHO CARES! I want to see it all. In my opinion, The two minute replay doesn’t show me squat. You know how I feel… I’ve mentioned it before. [...]

Good story! I’ve been looking thru bing for hours looking for appropriate info on this, they absolutely should rank your website on page 1!

I critically really like the vinyl Kidrobot Simpson’s mini information - The only downside for the Simpsons mini statistics is the inconsistent good quality control. Some information have noticeable seams, while others have clumps of paint. This seems to have developed since earlier runs, but still, it is worth observing.
