Don't miss:
ER series finale — After 15 seasons of blood, guts and calamity, they're finally pulling the plug on the series that redefined the medical genre. When it debuted in 1994, ER became an instant blockbuster, attracting more than 30 million viewers a week during its prime. And while the show's vital signs have dropped in recent seasons, it remained capable of delivering compelling medical trauma and romantic drama — along with an occasional surprise (witness the riveting reunion of George Clooney and Julianna Margulies). The two-hour finale airs at 9 p.m., right after a one-hour retrospective. Thursday, NBC.
