In its fourth season, ER had its strongest cast yet. Sherry Stringfield was missed, but British surgeon Elizabeth Corday (Alex Kingston) makes her debut, and Noah Wylie (John Carter) and Maria Bello (Anna Del Amico) made significant strides forward. Carter finds that his move from surgery to the ER has knocked him back to intern status, but he proves himself under fire when the ER is hit by a toxic spill. He also has plenty to worry about with his addicted cousin, Chase (Jonathan Scarfe), but he's helped by his developing relationship with Del Amico. Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards) is fighting legal and emotional battles following the previous season's incident, and strikes up a relationship with addled desk clerk Cynthia Hooper (Mariska Hargitay). Kerry Weaver (Laura Innes) finds her promotion to chief of emergency medicine rockier than expected when she changes her mind on a deal with a cost-cutting firm, which is complicated when she's been seeing the representative (Clancy Brown). She also runs into trouble when she tries to terminate Jeanie Boulet (Gloria Reuben), who ends up staying at the ER and befriending the cancer-stricken son (Trevor Morgan) of Dr. Anspaugh (John Aylward). Peter Benton (Eriq LaSalle) struggles as a new father, develops a rivalry with Corday as he angles toward a spot on the team of arrogant hotshot Rocket Romano (Paul McCrane), and has a career-threatening disagreement with chief of staff Dr. Morgenstern (William H. Macy). Ross (George Clooney) tries a secret romance with on-again-off-again partner Carol Hathaway (Julianna Margulies), whose frustration with patient care leads her to open a women and children's clinic. The season kicks off with the famous live episode, "Ambush," in which a documentary film is being shot at the hospital, and in a continuing storyline, a serial rapist who preys on elderly women forces Carter to make a critical decision. Guest stars include John Cullum as Anthony Edwards' father, Harold Perrineau as the father of a boy with inverted organs, Dan Hedaya as a lawyer who wants to be a doctor, and Mickey Rooney as an optical patient. Bonus features consist of deleted scenes for a number of episodes, the wrap parties that followed the live show on each coast, and a 20-minute feature on the making of that episode, including some new interviews with the crew. --David Horiuchi

Average Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5

1) The last great Season of ER   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I was orignally going to collect seasons 1 - 5 of ER but after watching this whole season and reading the intro to season 5; they wrote Anna and Max out of the script and also added Lucy's charactor. Which I felt was part of the downfall of a once great show that is now just painful to watch. I really wish they would have given it a few more episodes to add to the Anna/Max/Carter drama and not gotten so melodramatic.

2) not as good as the previous 3 seasons   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Er has been on along time and has had its ups and downs and season 4 was a down season, we had watched the previous 3 seasons before watching season 4 and stopped about half way through becouse it was not as exciting as seasons 1-3. That being said if you are an ER fan and want to collect the series this is a must have and is worth a look and worth owning if you can get it for around $20.

3) ~Calling Dr. Ross~   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is one of favorite Season of ER. Not only is the handsome George Clooney still on the show. But the shows story plots are great! Also Doug and Carol are back together. If you love Er then you'll love this season.

4) ER Addicts   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I am only 20, but ER was a staple in my household since my mom first started watching it. I watched it when I was younger and still watch it to this day. ER influenced me so much that I'm currently in Nursing school. If you are a old school ER fan or a new ER fan, I recommend getting all the seasons on DVD. I watch them more then once, and it's very entertaining watching the all the seasons in order, over again. You'll be very happy with these DVD's. Enjoy!

5) Gift   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I bought the 4th season for my husband as a Christmas gift. I have been watching ER for a long time and he just happened to watch 2 episodes last season. Now he is catching up!
