ER wasn't the only medical drama to premiere in the fall of 1994. It wasn't even the only medical drama set in Chicago to premiere that year. But it's easily one of the best television series ever produced, and its pilot should be taught to anyone who wants to tell stories for a living, regardless of the format. The show gave us a world you could truly sink into every week.
All 331 episodes of ER are finally streaming on Hulu, and the difference between it and its descendants is striking if you happen to segue directly into another show. Perhaps the most jarring experience is going from the ER pilot to Fox's recently premiered The Resident, an endpoint to the genre's evolution that began with ER.
