Agree with everyone here. In addition to Nine stuffing around with dedicated viewers, they programme garbage in its stead, and for some weird reason, the dvds have also dried up at season 13. I’ve seen dvds of totally forgotten series from the 70′s & 80′s at the store, online etc but nothing on E.R. The same of the original series of Law & Order. If only quality wasn’t such a quickly discarded element of all areas of media.

Just got TV Week and they have a double page spread “Happy Birthday ER” for 300 eps, too bad its not actually on right now…

I agree with everyone else on the GO demographics not being totally locked into youth. Seriously, one more Seinfield episode re-run is going to kill me. And now that the theme nights are out because certain series have finished or are on long hiatus, hello Vamp Diaries – let’s have Medical Mondays and take two hour slots.

Why not even burn it off on Saturday nights on GO, surely the demand for Green Acres can’t be swamping the Nine switchboard at all hours?

No Wilmawalrus, not pay tv, we don’t all have it!

Another channel or GO! would do nicely.

Theres only 1.5 seasons left for goodness sake – just show it til its finished and be done with it. Its got to be the most complained about show for being taken off air for Channel 9, up there with Survivor!

it didn’t rate not because people didn’t want to watch it, but because it kept being shown in a late timeslot on an inconsistent basis. It’s probably my favourite drama series ever, and it’s been heartbreaking to not be able to follow through with it. It’s now been off for so long in the States, it’s very difficult to find it elsewhere! Channel 9 is pathetic and doesn’t deserve to have the rights – give it to pay TV!

So they buy all these series, but pull them after 1 ep, cause of low ratings. Wouldnt they be better off just showing them at a decent time and reaping in some cash from adverts while they can instead of it sitting around collecting dust in the basement. Ah I just see it now 100 years from now. Some young work experience kid will stumble upon all the unseen eps of TV series of long ago. Everyone will marvel over them and wonder why they were never shown. They will then become instant rating winnings and in the background you will hear the rustle of Channel 9 exutives rolling in their graves and trying to kick themselves.

It was only a matter of time as Nine has repeatedly screwed with ER. Why not put it on at midnight, let fans record it and finally show us Season 14 and 15? S14 and 15 rated well in the US. If given half a chance they may have rated well here. Looks like I’ll be buying the DVDs from o/s

oh come on!! they’re so behind now, im not surprised they dont stash it away in a weekend afternoon timeslot like with the last season of Charmed :S They should definitely just test it out on Go before they try to put it back on Nine again :S

They should still move ER to GO, in double episodes each week. I wouldn’t class The Wire as a youth demographic show (it’s for more discerning viewers, most of whom are aged over 21), yet GO are showing the last season of it.

I lost interest in ER years ago but did catch the final eps back in May as I know it will be years before Nine shows them. Come on put it on GO!, late night on Nine or just give the rights to 111 hits at least we know where to get the DVDs if we want to catch up later..

It was performing well when it first returned; Nine just need to get this show out of the way its been finished for far too long now.

i dont watch ER but 9 just show the remaning episodes or hand it over to 111 hits who would treat it much better than your pathetic attempts
