pretty pumped for this:

Damn. I thought he was playing Dr. Carter from ER, it was billed as from John Wells who produced ER... He's an ER doctor.

After more googling I had forgotten Michael Crichton created ER and had the idea for awhile, but got Spielberg on board during Jurassic Park so it was made by Amblin Entertainment which Spielberg owned and Wells came in to be the showrunner and an exec producer. Crichton didn't have much involvement after the original idea/script for the pilot... but was credited as a producer through the shows run.

So it looks like Michael Crichton's estate (he died in 2008) had been in negotiations with John Wells at a continuation or reboot of ER since Crichton as the creator has the rights pass to his estate. They couldn't come to an agreement and so the setting became Pittsburgh and Noah Wyle got a new character.

Lame.

I liked Sphere, Andromeda Strain, Congo, and Jurassic Park from Crichton back in the day. People who never read Jurassic Park just don't know.

I've been using Firefox on my computer for probably 20 years, but have always just used Chrome on my phone, guess it's time that I finally start using it on my phone too. It's a great browser
You can just link everything to your computer browser for ease of bookmarks/history etc. They make it super easy
