"Trauma" starts with a lot of drama

If you're looking for something ground-breaking in "Trauma" you won't find it. It's pretty much in the mold of that other dearly departed NBC medical drama "ER."

But that's not a bad thing. After all, "ER" ran for 15 years.

 

ER: It's over for real this time

ER (series finale), 9pm, NBC 
When ER debuted in 1994, it was unlike anything we'd ever seen. It was the most exciting show on television. We knew we could count on adrenaline-pumping action starting the moment that gurney crashed through the ER's double doors. We loved the realness -- the blood and guts, the life and death, the doctors yelling incomprehensible medical gobbledy-gook at each other.

And it had all those smart, beautiful new actors -- George Clooney, Julianna Marguiles, Noah Wyle, Anthony Edwards, Eriq La Salle... Sigh. We were in love.
