"ER" Gets Booster Shot

County General's lease may be extended into 2008, with or without Dr. John
Carter manning the floor.
NBC is "understood to be finalizing a deal" for at least two more seasons ER,
per the Hollywood Reporter. The current contract for the long-running Warner
Bros.-produced medical drama expires in 2006. This new deal could add season
13 in 2006-07 and season 14 in 2007-08.
This, despite Noah Wyle, the only castmember who's kept swinging a
stethoscope through all 11 seasons, implying that he may be leaving at the
end of this season.
"I've just got other stuff going in my life right now," Wyle told E! back in
September. "I've got a son, I've got family and friends that said goodbye to
me 12 years ago and are wondering when I'm coming back, and [I've got] this
little urge to scratch a different kind of itch in my career, and it's just
coming to the end of the character's run."
Wyle has portrayed Carter from naive resident to seasoned senior medic,
racking up five Emmy nominations along the way. Survivor of numerous romances
and assorted personal troubles, Carter is now officially the series' lead
character.
"It feels like the show is on the edge of reinventing itself," he explained
to E! last fall. "It's time to take it to that next evolutionary place, where
names like George [Clooney] and Tony [Edwards], Eriq [La Salle], Julianna
[Margulies] and Noah are a thing of the past."
However, since recent storylines have been written to accommodate the highly
paid Wyle's desire for more family time, the possibility remains that a deal
could be brokered for him to continue to appear on a limited basis in future
seasons.
ER remains one of the few untattered feathers in a Peacock roster that has
seen the departure of several long-running hits. In its 11th season, the
Chicago hospital drama remains solid and steady in its Thursday at 10 p.m.
slot, ranking as NBC's most watched program, averaging 16.5 million viewers
this season. And ER is tied with The Apprentice 2 as the network's top show
in the 18-49 demographic favored by advertisers.
But ER's heartbeat is clearly weaker. In 1988, Warners secured a deal for a
then record $13 million per episode license fee; now the going price per
episode is reportedly about $9 million.
Warner Bros. had no comment on whether a new deal was in the offing; NBC did
not return phone calls.
