Does anyone know the release date for ER Seasons 11-13. I'm a huge fan of the show. It's my fave show and I really want to buy that collection. Thanks.

A lot of us would like to know the release date for ER seasons 11-13,it seems as though they are really slow in releasing their Dvd's,it'll probably be several years from now since they're just now releasing season six

Not only are they slow in releasing sets, but it annoys me when the style changes-series 7 is thinner and taller, with no booklet. Am i the only person narked by this?

Hi Kate,it's very annoying,especially when you see alot of new shows with there Dvd's already in stores it can't be that difficult for ER to be release a bit sooner,and it seems as though you're getting ripped off with thinner sets and no booklets with them

It is sooo annoying how they are releasing the ER DVD's..is it to keep us in anticipation???? YOu can go online and order seasons 1-10 from a UK site or Australian site...and it is the same thing that will be released in the US..its not like they have subtitiles or anything silly like that ...but here in the United States it is taking FOREVER to release these darn DVD's....ARGHH....i know i am not the only person who feels this way...

Actually season 7 has only just come out over here, none are available to pre-order.

What do you mean its thinner? it looks kind of the exact same on amazon compared to the other seasons.

I got hooked last year and I've been buying all the seasons on DVD off of Ebay. I now have all of the seasons on DVD. Some of them are from Japan but they still work on my player. The latest ones ( seasons 11 and 12) I got from this person who records and sell shows on the web. They are DVD-R but they are the episode. They are recorded right from TV w/o the comercials. I look at it this way........I'm getting the real DVDs from amazon. Season 6 comes out this month. So all of the others are just tying over untill the real ones come out in the future. We're talking about 13 seasons of ER. And they come out twice a years maybe. So it could be a while 'till anyone gets season 10 or 11. So check EBay for the Japaneese copies. They aren't half bad if you can read the menus in Japaneese.

When last we left the intrepid crew of the emergency room at County General, there was plenty of change afoot. In ER - The Complete Fifth Season, George Clooney abandoned ship, leaving the role of sensitive, hunky doctor vacant, and the remaining characters were all shifting around. Dr. Peter Benton (Eriq LaSalle) had given up a prestigious surgery slot to pursue a trauma fellowship, while Elizabeth Corday (Alex Kingston) remained under the thumb of Rocket Romano (Paul McCrane). Romano was pretty much the dude making everyone's life difficult, having recently taken over the chief role in the ER. Dr. John Carter (Noah Wyle) continued to progress into his residency, supervising the eager med student Lucy Knight (Kellie Martin), while other characters had more personal subplots underway. Namely, Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards) had begun a relationship with Corday, and Nurse Carol Hathaway (Juliana Margulies) revealed that she was pregnant with George Clooney's babies. Benton also found himself getting the wrong end of the stethoscope when his former partner (Lisa Nicole Carson) announced she was moving to Germany with her new fianc?e and taking Peter's son with her.

This is pretty much where we are at when ER - The Complete Sixth Season (1999-2000) kicks off. ER operates in real time, with holiday episodes airing around the appropriate day and spanning from autumn to summer in the course of a complete season; this means only three months have progressed since the season five finale rolled to credits. To further shake things up, however, season six would see the introduction of many new characters, two of which are notable for the fact that they are now the main power couple on the show's twelfth and current season. Dr. Luka Kovac is there on the first episode, a mysterious Croatian doctor who is filling in shifts in the ER. Played by Goran Visnjic (Deep End), he is also filling in the heartthrob slot Clooney left open. His character has the same mixture of sensitivity and recklessness that Clooney's Doug Ross did, but he also comes complete with a haunted past (the family he lost to the war in his homeland) and a divine accent. Kovac even ends up befriending Hathaway, and they become the leading doctor/nurse team in the department.

Nurse Abby Lockhart (Maura Tierney, Newsradio) first makes her appearance during episode 8, playing one of the nurses who helps deliver Hathaway's twins. A couple of episodes later, she joins the ER as a medical student, becoming a new foil for Carter. Like that character in his early years, she is concerned she may not have the makings of a good ER doctor because she cares too much. Her main difference from Carter, however, is she arrives fraught with personal problems and financial woe, making her far more of the "common man" character than he was. Abby is also in place to take over as the young eager beaver once Kellie Martin leaves the cast.



Obviously, both of these characters are excellent additions to the show since they are now part of the old guard six years later. They both slide into the pool with ease, and within a couple of episodes, it feels like they had been there all along. It's actually one of ER's greatest strengths, being able to continually renew itself, letting the ensemble be a true ensemble so that the show doesn't fall to pieces if a key member leaves. The formula isn't a strict one, but the natural order of an emergency room lends itself to a particular group dynamic that must be maintained. For instance, Clooney's character was a pediatrician, and when he left, a new pediatrics attending had to be hired. Thus, we get Cleo Finch (Michael Michele, Homicide: Life on the Street), a sophisticated protector of children and a new romantic interest for Peter Benton.

Other folks joining the cast include Erik Palladino (Over There) as Dr. Dave Malucci, the hot shot who needs to learn a few lessons in humility, and the return of Ming-Na as Dr. Jing-Mei "Deb" Chen, who had been Carter's rival in the first season before leaving in disgrace. In addition to Kellie Martin's exit in one of the more dramatic and shocking episodes of the sixth season, ER also loses one of my favorite characters, Jeanie Boulet (Gloria Reuben), an HIV-positive woman whose main function at the hospital is being an advocate for patients. Her departure is orchestrated with finesse, though, in a story line that makes sense for the character. When a newborn's HIV-positive mother dies, leaving her baby an orphan with the disease, Jeanie adopts the child and leaves County General so she can take care of him.

Many of the other main story lines on the show involve recurring guest stars. In the first half alone, Carter gets involved with a wealthy breast-cancer patient played by Rebecca De Mornay (Risky Business), Carrie Weaver (Laura Innes, who also directs some episodes) hires her mentor (Alan Alda) only to discover he's in the early stages of Alzheimer's, and Nurse Hathaway tries to help a pregnant junkie (Martha Plimpton, Parenthood) get healthy. Mark also loses his mother and brings his father (Northern Exposure's John Cullum) to Chicago from San Diego so he can keep an eye on him. There is actually a little bit of a Northern Exposure reunion, because Peg Phillips (Ruth-Anne on the series) appears in episode 11 as a patient. Other one-off patients include Gabrielle Union (Bring It On), Shia LaBeouf (Even Stevens), Mitch Pileggi (The X-Files), and Borat's sidekick, Ken Davitian.

Naturally, much more happens on a given season of ER, and The Complete Sixth Season is no different. Every character gets a story arc or two, and the soap opera nature of the series means that every episode gives the show another twist. Each season does have its more memorable moments, however, and in the case of number six, there are plenty of good ones.

One that I am sure many will enjoy is Hathaway giving birth to her twins, and the ups and downs that follow for a single mother who also has a demanding full-time job. This change in her life naturally adds more dramatic tension to any case where she has to deal with children, including a mother with Munchausen's Syndrome and an emotionally devastating episode where she and Kovac have to tell a young brother and sister that their parents have died. Also shoved through the emotional ringer is Corday, who gets caught up with a vicious criminal who has carjacked and killed several women. While under her care, he attempts to engage her in some sub-Silence of the Lambs mind games that can come off a little weak, but some of the hard choices he pushes on Lizzy makes it an effective narrative device for the character.

Probably the one that stands out the most in the minds of those who watched the shows when they aired was the Valentine's Day episode--#13, "Be Still My Heart." David Krumholtz (Numb3rs) comes into the ER with a headache, and his treatment creates friction between Carter and Lucy. This causes them both to miss that his headache is really a pronounced sign of a more agitated state of mind, and this slip has dire consequences for the both of them. Without giving too much away, it's the impetus for Lucy no longer being on the show and will set Carter's trajectory for the rest of the season. The follow-up episode is of the variety that ER does best: the fast-paced medical thriller where doctor's rush through difficult cases, barely pausing to let the audience catch up. The writers and producers may hold our hands through these kinds of shows, but it's only to keep us running behind their docs.

The back half of the season is a little heavy, both with Carter's fallout and Mark seeing his father through his cancer. Death is always a powerful force on ER, but it has an even more ravaging effect when it strikes close to one of the doctors and he or she is powerless to stop it. Episode 20 is one of the saddest in the show's history. Abby also has several rites of passage to go through as she gets involved in complicated cases far beyond what is required of her. On the lighter side, we learn more about Kovac while he and Carol share a friendship and the producers tease us with the possibility that their feelings may run deeper. Of course, who could blame them if they did? She's gorgeous, fun, and compassionate. He's handsome, sweet, and tortured. They're each like some kind of hat trick of love. Then again, when Carol has Doug Ross trying to get her to move to the Pacific Northwest with their children, it's no surprise that season six also turned out to be the last one for Juliana Margulies.

The season finale is the usual ER big event. Benton and Kovac are dispatched to an elementary school where robbers on the run are shooting at the kids. A disagreement in the field leads to heat back at the hospital, and while Benton has to perform some acrobatic surgery on a child, Kovac finds more frustration with a pregnant patient who wants to refuse surgery and let her baby die. Unlike other seasons, this one doesn't end with fiery explosions, however, the last show rings out on more interpersonal explosions, reminding us that ER is nothing without its characters as the creators cement the changed guard for season 7.

THE DVD

Video:
One of the earliest shows to switch over to widescreen, ER - The Complete Sixth Season was put on DVD in a "matted" widescreen format to match the original airing but fine-tuned for widescreen sets. It all looks really crisp, I didn't see any compression issues.

Sound:
The no-frills sound mix is clean and clear, with no distortion or problems. There are also Spanish and French subtitles.

Extras:
Just about every episode has deleted scenes. They are sometimes just quick character moments, other times substantial chunks that filled out some of the stories on the episodes or even set up new scenarios we never saw. They can either be accessed from the episode selection menu, where they are tied to the installment they were cut from, or you can watch them from their own menu, either selecting an individual excision or watching them all at once.

Disc 6 also has the season's gag reel, which has some funny bloopers, some not-so-funny bloopers, on-set practical jokes, and one mooning with two butts. It lasts about twelve minutes. (The reel, not the mooning. That's mercifully brief.)

The packaging sticks to the design of previous seasons, with a skinny, folding cardboard holder that slides into an outer slipcase. The interior has a disc-by-disc, episode-by-episode guide, giving synopses, writing and directing credits, and indicating which episodes have "Outpatient Outtakes."

FINAL THOUGHTS:
While other shows falter when faced with cast changeovers, ER - The Complete Sixth Season never skips a beat, maintaining the high level of quality the series established in its first five seasons. As far as television shows of the last ten years are concerned, none has the track record ER has for consistent performances in prime time. The characters are always alluring and the situations the doctors face are attention grabbing. This sixth season falls smack in the middle of the show's current history, and it represents the program at an apex. Highly Recommended.

did anyone buy this yet? I want to know if there are any commentaries

I got the email yesterday saying mine was on it's way, I'll let you know as soon as it arrives, maybe tomorrow if I'm lucky.

Hey!!
man, that was a very good description of the thing!!
I'm celine from France, here season 6 was out a few months agon bought it, perfect as usual!
of course, THE episode is "Be still my heart"..I was so 'toushed' when I saw it again!
So, here, and for once, we are a bit ahead of the US as season 7 has just come out!! YES YES, already
on the shelf.lol.. For me, season is one of the best ( though some will say I'm wrong), a very good one: where Carter is coming back and trying to find his place again in the ER; Mark is both experiencing the best and the worst: his marriage with Elizabeth-they're such

ok, it's me again celine, I made a mistake, and the reply just went away..lol
anyhow, let's resume with season 7: so Mark is learning he has a tumor.. Amazing acting by A Edwards here!
Then, Abby and Luka are getting together, and start forming one of the best couples inER!
Kerry is experiencing her life-changing relation with Kim; ok, I'm a bit biased here because I think Elizabeth
Mitchell is a wonderful actress( I'm so glad she's in Lost now, my other fav' show), and I just keep wondering why we don't see more of her amazing work..
So, that's some of the events happening in really good season 7..can't wait till the 8th; and apparently, it's a bit quicker in here. THAT is really bizarre!
c?line, waiting for your comments!!!

Season 7 is also the Bishop Arc...for me, one of my favorite storylines, not just because it was Lukacentric but because of the inclusion of James Cromwell as well.


Celine...you can just hit edit on your post and then make changes so you don't have to do multiple posts in the future when one gets away from you.

Season 6 was great! I loved every minute of it. But for us in the States does anyone know when season 7 is coming out?? It takes so long here for the seasons to be released ... any info would be great!

Thanks everyone!

I don't think they've even hinted at a release date yet but I'd think it will be a good 6-9 months at the soonest.

I always assume that it will come out around my birthday, and when I dont have school. Christmas break, and birthday.

I got my season 6 DVDs today and thought I would start screen-capping them. I did the deleted Luka scenes today and they're up at the Blue Profond 2 Message Board for those who'd like to see them. Here are a couple of samples.

Does anyone know when NBC is going to release Season 6 and beyond on DVD? I am finishing Season 5 right now and am totally hooked! I want to watch them in order to get the full story lines!

Does anyone know when NBC will be releasing season 6 and beyond on DVD? I am hooked but bummed that I can only get to season 5 right now!

6 was out this week, no date has been announced past that yet in the US ...there is a thread started for the DVD info, just scroll down for it.

hey!!
first, thank azizal( can I call you like that?) for the hint, I'm rather new in here so I need to know how everything works..
I totally agree, James Cromwell did an amazing work on season 7. That was a very good story line as well.. So now I can't wait to have season 8, just a few month to wait!
see ya
celine

Azizal is fine, or JD, and you're welcome, all they need now is a delete function so we can remove mistakes..lol.

BTW, I finished capping the Luka scenes for "Leave It To Weaver", I'm going to work my way through all of the episodes if anyone is looking to make new Luka avatars.

We have seaosn 7 in australia, i saw it in the shops the other week. they had only season 5 and 7 avaliable. i didn't have enough money to buy it i only had like 30 bucks and it was 60 (both were 60 each) *sob* ****, never go shopping alone.

HEY!
Right, first, merry christmas to everyone, hope u had a good one yersterday!!

ok, just to tell u all this, nothing new I guess but that's it.. and VIVE Goran Visnjic!!
lol
see ya

I'm new to this forum. Can anyone tell me how I could get the last season (12?) on dvd? I have never missed an entire season. We moved a few months ago and I didn't realize ER was back on. Is there any websites that people sell recorded seasons? I know that's probably reaching too far. But I'm desperate. Doesn't season 13 start next month? The last season I saw was the shoot out where Abby & Jerry were injured.

Thanks!
Terri

Umm maybe try Limewire but I know its not on DVD yet.

I know I tried to get it by having my older brother download it (yea I know illeagal bad me lol) but he said there wasnt enough seeds (no idea of what that is) so he couldnt.

But yea I missed most of that season too so I watched a little on tnt but I still need to see a LOT of eppi's.

Tell me if you can find it anywhere!!

Celine...Goran is cute in the Madonna video isn't he? He landed that not long after doing Welcome to Sarajevo and in an interview said his first day on the set he had to kiss Madonna, talk about a way to break into the business. If you want to meet some more Goran fans you need to come on over and visit our Goran website and Message Board, lots of pics and discussion on all things Goran. The links for both are in my signature.

You can try YouTube and see if they have ER episodes from season 12. It might be in separate parts though. Season 12 isn't on DVD yet (Season 6 just came out).

Season 13 started in September in America, and will start next month in England, but I'm not sure about anywhere else. Sorry.

I guess I missed two seasons?!? What was the last season where Abby & Jerry were injured in the shoot out?

Thanks for helping!
Terri

Last season ( season 12) ended in a shoot out at the hospital ..Steve (Sam's exboyfriend who is in jail) comes into the ER with a fake injury with another cellmate and they shoot up the place while they try to have Sam walk them out the door to freedom.. In the process, Luka is tied to a gerney, jerry gets shot and Abby falls ( while she is pregnant).. It ends with Jerry being worked on, and Abby passing out..

Season 13 opens to the same place it left off the season before... As you will probably find in spoliers and whatnot Abby and Jerry make it out ok.. Just google ER season 12 or 13 spoilers and you should be able to get a recap of what happens... Also if you go to TV.com and go to ER you can view episode recaps that should help

So I only missed one season. That's better than two! When does season 14 start? January 4th?

Thanks!!

No, Season 13 just started, it's not over yet. It's just on a little hiatus for now. Season 13 starts on January 4th for people in England. But I don't know when it'll start for other people in a different country.

I think Season 14 will probably start in September of 2007 in the U.S. and January 2008 in England.

You can try going to ERHeadquarters.com and read recaps of Season 12 there as well. Just click on `Episodes' at the top.

You can go to the website and it will show replays and it will show pictures and tell about the picture and the baby is fine and he is named Joe

HEY!!
all right, as for season 12, you won't find it on dvd for quite a long time.. season 6 has just been out in the US ; season 7 has been out in France for a month now..
You might find some eps on the net, on youtube but it will be in several parts; it's quite easy to find. otherwise, if you have limewire you can download the episodes as well.
in England, season 13 starts next Monday on Channel 4 I think, it also started on E4 this week. In France ( I live there) it will start next September but France is always late!!
celine xx

I have heard you can do it on LimeWire, but I haven't figured out how. The best way for me is to go on YouTube.

***I really wish they would put it on iTunes. I would buy every episode.

I have never bought any of the ER seasons on DVD yet, but I have never seen seasons 1-4. I was wondering if it is really worth it for the price since you can watch it on TNT? The only problem for me is that I have school and am not able to watch it on TNT. Do the DVDs have any extras? I just don't like how long it takes to get the seasons on DVD, but if it is worth the wait, I'll buy them.
Thanks very much

i have season 1 - 6
yeah season 1 - 4 was really good

It is definatly worth it IF you shop around.. I am a big fan of Amazon.com because you can get things for lower prices than the stores. I always search the best and lowest price before I buy DVD's. I bet if you surfed the internet a little you could find all four seasons for a discounted price...sometimes the dvds will be listed as used but they are still in excellent condition.

hey!
I think the DVDs are a good buy.. yes, you can find some on the net for a bit cheaper! personnally, as I am French, I can watch them in English as I hate the french version but, as for the extras, you'll have some deleted scenes, etc..
I agree seasons 1-4 are really good so you can go for it!! ;-)
celine

Ughh, I think it's really annoying the way they've only released until s6 or s7 can't remember!

They're working their way forward...hopefully we'll see 7 within the next 6-9 months.

Hope so!
Thanks!

when does er season 7 come out on dvd in canada or america

I wonder this to. I have been watching er since the beginning, but have recently gotten the first 6 season and have already watched them all now I can't wait for season 7. I believe they are going to make it to where one season comes out a year. So I would guess it would come out right before this year's Christmas.

seasons 1-4. or the George Clooney seasons as I like to refer to them. I would say that it is definitely worth it to own the seasons of er besides deleted scenes, commentary, and many more extras you can not get on TV. I have always wanted to own an er collection of all the seasons (I'm just waiting for season 7 now) Seasons 1-4 though are the best 1. George Clooney need I say anymore. 2. Watching Carter develop 3. The interviews with the actors and so much more

Well season 5 came out in August i think and then Season 6 was released in December so lets hope that it is 2 a year.. Maybe we can hope for Season 7 to be released in the spring or early summer??? I can't take this slow paced release..its killing me!! But i am sure when the first word of Season 7's release is out we will find it here

i never seen season 7
but i used to watch them when they where on thewb at 3 then when it came on sundays but they don't do it any more
and i own season 1 - 6
