Get off my lawn! Damn starlets.
Former “Gilmore Girls” star Alexis Bledel, also known as one-fourth of a Sisterhood devoted to magical trousers, will join the cast of “ER” just in time for the show to go off the air. Because series finales are the perfect time to introduce new characters!
She’ll play a new intern at County General named Dr. Julia Wise. We’re not sure why a “new” intern would be introduced on the last episode of the show, but before any imaginations start running wild, here’s a reminder that executive producer John Wells has repeatedly shot down rumors of a spinoff.
Gosh, medical dramas really nail what hospitals are like. The doctors are always white and attractive, except for one guy who’s black. And the interns are always sexy, skinny white girls who can easily pass for teenagers — definitely not Indian or Asian immigrants who struggle with English. I mean, who’s ever heard of an Indian doctor?
How about an “ER” where someone comes in and sits in the waiting room the entire show? For extra authenticity they could make it a special two-hour episode.

Sorry Matt. I just loved the idea that there was somebody who didn’t like E.R. because of Chicsgo Hope.
gotta love latinas
What about Parminder Nagra (SP?), the Delhi-cious babe from “Bend It Like Beckham”? Isn’t she still on ER? (Cuz I haven’t personally watched the show since forever.)
They could spin it off into her own private practice, complete with a sexy team of partners, who solve sexy cases, and face sexy problems, and then get 1/3 of the ratings the original show got.
Get with the times, Tim. Chicago Hope was merely the vehicle that helped me get to dinosaur jokes on the last ER post.
You’re right, Carla Gugino on Chicago Hope was much more realistic.
Let it go, Uff.
They need to stop beating on the chest of this show and call it.
TOD: Now.
Or have the doctor who doesn’t speak English disappear for half an hour only to return with his big black reference book, shake his head and then just let the nurse get on with stitching me up. Apparently the tendon i lost the use of was one i never needed anyway, which was lucky.
who’s ever heard of an Indian doctor?
I can usually hear an Indian doctor from down the hall and around the fucking corner.
