I swore nobody watched all 15 seasons of ER anymore, till my sister in Cleveland said she finished it in 6 weeks
She told me she started it in January and by mid February she was done, which is about 22 episodes a week if you do the math, so now I'm wondering who else out there is quietly plowing through these old medical shows on streaming.

Did you ever think about how the writers back then had to fill 22 hours of TV a year and just how much filler that means? Like in ER there are whole episodes where the plot barely moves because they needed 44 minutes of something. But when you binge it, that filler turns into this weird comfort thing where you just hang out with the characters. I mean a normal person watching week to week in 1998 got maybe 25 minutes of actual story per episode. Your sister got the same thing but in one long blur. Idk it seems like the shows were built for people who forgot half of it by the next week, and streaming kind of breaks that.
