{televison} er; season four (1997)

Season 4 of the smash-hit medical series kicks off with a remarkable episode that aired live on premiere night. The top-notch cast doesn't miss a beat during the live recording, in which a documentary film crew invades the ER. Also this season, Dr. Corday (Alex Kingston) joins the team, Ross (George Clooney) and Hathaway (Julianna Margulies ) try to keep their relationship under wraps, and Ross struggles with his father's death.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** This was a great season of entertainment from ER. I especially loved the season premier: the reality show episode, one of the best episodes, in my opinion, of the entire series thus far. Loved the additions of Alex Kingston as Dr. Elizabeth Corday, Maria Bello as Dr. Anna Del Amico. However, I could have done without Mariska Hargitay as the weird desk clerk Cynthia Hooper. Even though I really like Hargitay, the character was just unbalanced.
