Description
During its first season, "ER" quickly became a staple of watercooler conversations, with such heart-rending episodes as "Love's Labors Lost," and instantly had viewers hooked on the lives, loves and losses of the staff of Chicago's fictional County General hospital. In addition, the series launched the careers of Anthony Edwards, George Clooney, Sherry Stringfield, Noah Wyle, Julianna Margulies and Eriq La Salle. Equally impressive were the show's sterling cast of guest stars, which included the late Rosemary Clooney, Bradley Whitford, Rick Rossovich, Ving Rhames, CCH Pounder, William H. Macy, Ming-Na Wen, Gloria Reuben, Bobcat Goldthwait, Robert Carradine, Michael Ironside, Valerie Perrine, and Quentin Tarrantino, who also directed an episode.
