Programs featuring hardworking doctors have been a broadcast TV staple since the medium's earliest days, but none has ever achieved the artistic and commercial success of ER. This four-disc box set collects the 22 episodes of the show's second season on NBC (1995-96), which further develops the existing characters and introduces important new ones. It turns out to be a tumultuous year for the doctors working at Chicago's County General Hospital. The season opens with "Welcome Back, Carter," in which an unprepared John Carter (Noah Wyle) returns to internship under the direction of Dr. Peter Benton (Eriq LaSalle). Dr. Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards) goes back into the ER rotation, and in one of this group's most memorable episodes, "A Shift in the Night," he is overwhelmed by the volume of patients that swarm into the hospital during the wee hours. Greene raises hackles by recommending the notoriously difficult Dr. Kerry Weaver (Laura Innes, making her ER debut) for the chief resident position. Dr. Susan Lewis (Sherry Stringfield) finds herself distracted at work after she assumes custody of her young niece. And, of course, Dr. Doug Ross (George Clooney) continues to rankle some coworkers with his unorthodox methods. Ross dominates one of the year's best episodes, "Hell and High Water," which finds him struggling to save a seriously injured boy trapped in a rapidly flooding storm drain during a cloudburst. "John Carter, M.D." brings the season to a gripping close as Carter misses his own graduation from medical school to care for a seriously ill patient; Lewis winds up in therapy after losing custody of her niece; and Dr. Jeannie Boulet (Gloria Reuben) learns that she might be HIV-positive. By definition, TV shows set in hospitals or doctors' offices are highly dramatic, often burdening their protagonists with life-or-death problems. But what raises ER above the rest is its concentration on the doctors themselves -- showing their faults and foibles, their fears and frustrations. They are no less dedicated than the physicians of TV's golden age, but they aren't freighted with all the virtue and nobility that, say Marcus Welby, M.D. packed in his house-call bag. They are also much easier to relate to, and care about. Ed Hulse, Barnes & Noble
