ER season 6 has something pretty magical about it. When you watch the current series, and compare it to this season you find yourself lamenting the fact that the current show doesn't have the same ambience amongst the cast and that in my opinion the writing is not as slick as it is here. Season 6 is for me one of the best seasons of ER ever produced. Fantastic episodes, brilliantly acted include the absolute killer "Be Still My Heart" where tragic consequences occur for two central characters (i wont spoil it for those who do not know what happens.) Also in this set, we have the leaving of Jeanie Boulet (thank god), a guest spot from Alan Alda, a development in the relationship of Carter and Benton, the introduction of key characters for future years such as Luka and Abby and of course..the resolution to ER's greatest ever couple - Carol Hathaway and Doug Ross, which ended EXACTLY as it should have done! Tears, thrills, shocks, surprises - this series has everything you could want from the show. Fantastic.

this season is, in my oppinion, is only medioca, but with the apperance of clooney it is well worth the money. in perhaps the most shoking story in the shows history, one of the most popular charactors of this season is killed in a heartbreaking bouble "be still my heart" and "all in the family" as well as the death of one the victims the other, who feals to blame, combined with the pain if the attack starts abusing pain killers and is faced with a big life changing decision. though not all sad boullet finds happiness with reggie and a baby.and carol makes adecision, not as good all round as seasons 3 or 5 but the main story is the saddest and most gripping in the show, well worth it!!!

This is the best series of ER to date, True Clooney may have gone but you hardly notice. this series contains the best two episodes of ER ever, Well WORTH the money!

My only fault with the series is there are two too many characters (Cleo finch and David Malucci) meaning they are just underused and there isnt much point in them being there.

otherwise the series is pure Gold

The electryfying 6th Season of ER sees the departures of Julianna Margulies, Gloria Reuben and Kellie Martin as well as the arrival of several new characters.

After losing George Clooney at the end of the 5th Season, the show tries to reinvent itself and is fairly successful in doing so with landmark episodes such as 'Great Expectations' which sees Nurse Hathaway go into labour on Thanksgiving and must rely on the help of Dr. Kovac and Dr. Greene to get through the painful delivery.

Perhaps the most shocking episodes in ER's history are featured in this set with the thrilling two parter 'Be Still My Heart' and 'All In The Family' which sees the brutal death of a series regular. If you haven't seen the episode then I won't spoil the ending for you but be sure to watch because it forever changes the character of John Carter who is faced with a life-altering decision in the season finale after the massacre.

However all is not miserable on this set with PA Jeanie Boulet(Gloria Reuben) realising her HIV status shouldn't control her life finally finding happiness in the form of a new husband and baby which leads to her leaving the show early in Season 6 after 5 years on the show.

In the most highly publicised move of the show's history, Julianna Margulies (Carol Hathaway) sensationally quit the show after turning down $27million to return for a further 2 years. After 6 years in the role, Nurse Hathaway bids farewell to County General in the penultimate episode of this season titled 'Such Sweet Sorrow' and her goodbye turned out to be one of the best kept secret in TV history. If you haven't seen this episode and want to see how the Doug-Carol storyline comes to an end, purchase this terrific sixth season of ER!

George Clooney may have left and the show may be a shadow of its former self, but the show is still one of the best around and with brilliant appearances by Emmy Award winning actor Alan Alda in the role of Attending Physician Dr. Gabe Lawrence who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, ER rises above the pack and delivers one of its best seasons yet.

For long term fans who have watched the show from the beginning, this could be considered the shows last year of classic ER because from Season 7 on, the show moves away from the original characters we've come to grow and love and moves into the future!
