ER: Season Nine DVD Review (2008)

The melodrama escalates to a fever pitch, but then it had to, didn’t it?

This is the ninth season of "ER," and the producers aren't willing to allow fans to move away from the water cooler quietly.

As such, we get 22 episodes of chaos and disorder, with romance and broken hearts hurtling through the doors of Chicago's County General Hospital almost as frequently as the injured and the dying.

In this season, with Anthony Edwards’ Dr. Greene fully out of the picture after his death in the eighth season, the show now rests on Noah Wyle’s Dr. Carter. It’s a struggle--you can’t help but miss Greene--but Wyle does his best in spite of plot points (an African safari?) that pull hard at the show’s seams.

Grade: B-
