"Dr. Greene; ya coming?" The mirroring of this final episode with the very first episode is utterly brilliant. Even in my life... I watched the very first episode with my parents, while my brothers slept... and watched the final episode with my wife, while my children slept.
Powerful. I did the same and real8sed the significance. Tears rolling down my face. It still sticks with me to this day. Probably the best and most significant ending to any drama series ever.
Show has been gone for years now, but it is still the greatest drama of all time. I watch the reruns whenever I can. I think the reason the show was so great was much of it made you feel like you were right there. Laughing and crying, births, deaths. ER had it all. I know many people thought ER died with mark Greens death. I for one did not. There a reason ER lasted for 15 seasons, it was the very best in television. Actually they could had kept going with Rachel Green and her future as an ER doctor. Of course if you remember your history Micheal Crichton passed away shortly before the final was complete. I know there were a couple of producers of ER but Michael Crichton was ER.
Omg...I'm crying right now. ER was one of the best shows ever on tv. I stopped watching it when all the original cast had pretty much left. I never saw the last season but this clip made me smile, cry & wish I had watched it. I love that they had Rachel Greene decide to intern there. When I saw Carter standing there with what looked like the same basketball I had this vision of him leaving for the day turning around to toss the ball to Rachel and saying "Greene...you set the tone." For those who don't recall those were the words Mark Greene said to Carter on what I believe was the end of a very tough first day for him. Had he done that I don't think my heart would have survived. 😢💔
ER was my most favorite TV series in the 90s. I've invested a lot of emotions in every episode in those days and ended up always wanting for more at the end of every episode.This finale is just bitter sweet.Needless to say the theme song is just absolutely the bomb!I always have the ER Theme song on my playlists.
You know what would have been so sweet, if after Carter called out 'Comin, Dr. Greene', you saw Mark behind Rachel, watching everything play out, smiling, dressed in scrubs :)
The first scene of the pilot was Mark in a room trying to get some sleep and the head nurse, I forget her name, coming back to get him up. The final episode had Archie there, the same nurse, doing the same thing. The pilot was Carter's first day as a med student. Rachel is going to be a med student, and you know she's going to wind up at County General. Her life came full circle. There was a Dr. Green when the show began, and there was going to be a Dr. Green again. It was a perfect ending!!
This comes up on my "recommended" list every now and then, so I watch :) EVERY TIME it makes me get teary because it was just so well done. I stopped watching around season 10 but have gotten caught up a bit with reruns and DVDs (got my husband into ER too, I'm not allowed to watch the DVDs without him, lol). There are really no words for how great this show was...It's sad to think that there will be no more. Thank you Michael Crichton for this amazing show.
this is the greatest ending to a show that has been on for so long. i still watch the reruns on TNT every weekday at 11(in the time zone im in). great show. will miss it alot
Thats cool that she is following in her dads footsteps. I stoped watching ER a couple seasons before this, but watching clips from this episode i loved it!
If they are making sequels to shows( Fuller House, Girl meets world, Connors etc) why not ER maybe we find Dr Greene maybe carter running the whole place. It does not even need to be at the same hospital .
This show aired when I was a kid & the only actor I vividly remember is George Clooney. I never watched any episode of any season but this made me tear up. Even more so when I read some of the comments here. The 90s was the best decade ever
I feel like this show could almost have gone on indefinitely it was stilla great show when it ended, it just got to the point where most shows get when there isn't anyone left thats been in it long enough for you to care about them much (I mean principle characters) there was Sam and Morris by the end but even they were still relatively new, to my mind at least. Once Abby and Luka left they were the last of the principle cast that had known the original cast ie. Dr Green
Geesh! I remember my Mom had alzheimers, and during that time I watched ER all the way til they stopped and restarted the last season they could show on the cable channel TNT. I must've watched it about 5 times from the first episode. Can't believe that they haven't done re-runs like they used to do back in the late 70's. Wish I could afford the DVD's, but they're really pricey>
I can't be the only one wishing they did a reboot of the show and had Rachel be the attending? It would be great to see her sleeping on a bed and have one of the Nurses knock on the door and say "Dr. Green?".
@wickedfan5172 after the last of the main characters left the show (ross, greene, benton, hathaway, corday and carter ) i too lost interest in the show. but i also enjoyed watching romano, kovac, abby, and malucci as well as ron eldards character and chad lowes. favorite episode was "Ambush".
I wonder if they can revise ER and have her to be the lead character, I mean sure we won’t have some of the old cast but at least we have her to remind us about her dad and the old cast❤️
It was a totally great way to end the show, but I would have loved to have had a few episodes showing Rachel as an intern, Like father like daughter C:
At the beginning doctor Greene was teaching Carter. Years and years and more years later the student had become the doctor, and the teacher was blessed to be in Gods presence. Doctor Carter then begins his role as a teacher and his student is the very daughter of his teacher. Dr. Greene teaches Dr. Carter and Dr. Carter goes on to teach the next Dr Rachel Greene. Funny how life keeps on rolling
@@saradorris3554I would have paid money to see what would have been such an iconic shot of Rachel smiling at the spirit of Mark. #FatherPassesBatonToDaughter 👨🏼⚕️->👩⚕️
TaurusP9 The first scene of this episode was the first scene of the first episode. Lydia pushing the door open. Archie’s asleep just like Mark Green was, she calls him several times. I never missed one episode in 15 seasons. I was one sobbing mess at 11 o’clock that night. Best medical drama ever.
I like to think when Rachel gets in the medical student program (you KNOW she does) John Carter comes to see her. And he gives her Mark’s stethoscope, explaining to her how he took it. It turns out he was keeping it for her. Dr. Greene begins her life at Cook County’s ER.
@@warnold909 Rachel went to college and did her PreMed at DUKE where Elizabeth was...something in the medical school. But County General has their own medical school program. At least for 3rd year, that’s when Carter came in the pilot episode. Remember Dr.Banfield was interviewing prospective students to be selected for the program. She told John Carter just because Rachel’s father worked there in the ER (RAN the ER) didn’t mean she would automatically get in. But we all know she would. There would be a Dr. Greene in the ER again. I don’t recall anything about Rachel in New York. The last time we saw her was Mark’s funeral, she was a teenager. I think Jennifer was in St. Louis when Rachel was a wild uncontrollable teenager and almost killed Ella with Ecstasy. She ran away from her mom. I guess she went back, because Mark took her to Hawaii because he knew the time was limited and he had a responsibility to her. He and Elizabeth weren’t together then. But remember she came with Ella, and they were all together at the end..
I love the ending, to show that it DIDN'T end, that life in the ER continued, and such a poignant moment for Carter to call Rachel Dr. Greene, having the echo of her father live on in her.
The very first trauma that was on ER was an incident like this so this was a great way to end it even including Rachel Greene like it was Mark Greene was justice
i am still watching this in 2021 this will never get old sends chills up and down my spine you stand as doctors and you leave as doctors knowing you did everything you could possibly do to help your patient i loved this series and to see it end like this they did the show justice
That last scene showing that the ER was just a tiny portion of a huge hospital is stunning. So many lives, so many stories captured in that tiny smidget of space is breathtaking and profound at the same time. Years later ER is still one of the best TV dramas in history. So many of the actors and actresses went on to do great things. Worthy of binge watching over and over. Always something new to catch. It will remain timeless.
That last shot of Dr. Greene was the same as her dad’s shot on the first episode!!!..And! I don’t know who I was more excited to see returning to that ER..Jerry, Carter, or Greene!❤️
I think I love the fact that they used all the primary paramedics in this scene too! Zadro, Pickman, Dumar, and Olbes. Fantastic writing all the way around!
I didn't stick with this show to the bitter end I'm sad to say. This was the first time I've seen how the series ended. I knew the girl with the curly hair looked familiar but I couldn't quite place her. But when Carter said "Dr. Greene, are you coming?" I realized that was Mark's daughter Rachel! I got goosebumps! I had no idea she followed in her father's footsteps! Perfect way to end....with a new beginning.
When ER ended, it took quality television with it. Here's wishing for an ER reunion of some sorts. If you agree, raise your hand.
I'd love a next gen reboot.
@@KiraKiraSekai1 so would I
I completely agree
🖐🏻😊
With Dr. Greene 😊
Now this is a show I wish they would bring back!!! It has to be my favorite show of all time!!!

"Dr. Greene; ya coming?"
The mirroring of this final episode with the very first episode is utterly brilliant.

I watched the very first episode with my parents, while my brothers slept... and watched the final episode with my wife, while my children slept.
Powerful. I did the same and real8sed the significance. Tears rolling down my face. It still sticks with me to this day. Probably the best and most significant ending to any drama series ever.
I watched every single episode of this show, and this last scene brought all of it back
Mark Greene was so present for me in that last scene that I could almost see him. Go get em, Rachel. All the feels.
How lucky I am to have this awesome series on DVD, so I can bring back my teenage years whenever I want 😊 ER remains unbeatable!
“Wanna be a ER doc? This is where it gets fun”
*ER theme*
This is the most brilliant show ever!
This part literally brought tears to my eyes.

I know there were a couple of producers of ER but Michael Crichton was ER.
That's exactly how I felt.It wasn't just a show, it made me feel I was right there and a part of it.
I think they could have started including dinosaurs in it..
.. you know, subtly.
I feel like a part of ER died with Mark only because he was such a pivotal character. But I really enjoyed the seasons that followed after he passed.
Michael Crichton was a genius medical writer. ER was the best
The first AND last lines of the series.
"Dr Green"
Omg...I'm crying right now. ER was one of the best shows ever on tv. I stopped watching it when all the original cast had pretty much left.

Still to this day gives me goosebumps. Best hospital show ever. Motivated me to become a better healthcare worker.
I so loved this show. It's one of those that made you feel like family and that you were watching ever their shoulders every week!
Go in, Rachael. Follow in your dad's footsteps and make him proud from where he's watching you.
I must have watched this finale seven times. It never got old.
Best Medical Drama EVER!!!!! What a legendary series...

yeah,, agreed i really miss this .. show was incredible.
Dr. Greene, first and last words of the series.
Where are my tissues?

It would be nice.
this would be great,,, still time to bring ol cast mates back as patients.
I always liked watching the show, but I will say in 10 years, I never had a doc or nurse meeting my squad outside. Cool how he called her Dr. Greene!
I can't be the only one wishing they did a reboot of the show and had Rachel be the attending? It would be great to see her sleeping on a bed and have one of the Nurses knock on the door and say "Dr. Green?".
It would be great!! I am looking for a some sort of special like Friends. But it doesn’t seems it will happen.
Man o man. I miss Thursday nights.
BEST ending ever!
Best damn show ever.
I loved the show. I think it was when Dr. Greene died that I stopped watching. I did come back for the final episode.

I fucking love the fact that Rachel returns to become a doctor. Something said that it was bound to happen.
Bring this show back with Rachel as head chief
sadly she doesnt act anymore
Dr. Greene, you set the tone 😷

It was a totally great way to end the show,
