This is a weird report but there is a nice line from Maura about New England so I thought I would post it anyways...
NBC's long-running drama, "ER," is making a comeback. It's now back on top in the ratings war. New characters and well-known stars are giving the show new life. 7's Matt Lorch traveled to the set of the show.
The golden girl marks the spot, actually 22 Emmys. Welcome! This is Stage 11 at the Warner Bros. Studios. Come on, in! Also shot here: "Casablanca," the original "Ocean's Eleven" and "All the President's Men."
And, since 1994, "ER." Now, you have to keep it down. They're shooting.

"What else do I need to know to be on 'ER?' Is it just in the coat?"
John Stamos, "ER"
"Yes."
A little insight from "ER" newcomer, John Stamos.
Each scene is shot at several angles, and sometimes, it takes more than a dozen takes per scene. So to save on manpower, take a look. There's a mannequin for the first run through.
Another thing you should know: after his character was hit with a medical malpractice suit, actor Goran Visnjic is reluctant to give medical advice.

"Doctor, my shoulder's just killing me. Any advice?"
Goran Visnjic, "ER"
"Yeah... a few Advils."
This right here is where those surgery scenes come to life. If it looks authentic, it's because it is. It was modeled after the emergency room in east Los Angeles, where they shot the pilot. Everything, from the equipment in the room from the tiles on the wall.
To get the pressure rising on this set, all you have to do is mention the Hub.

"Would you like to say 'Hi' to the folks at home?"
Maura Tierney, "ER"
"Hi, Pat and Sunny."
Maura Tierney, who was born and raised in Hyde Park, plays Abby Lockhart. She admits, since acting on "ER," she's come down with a case of New England-itis.
Maura Tierney, "ER"
"I miss the autumn deeply. So, my father sends me leaves."
The cast and crew are still having at good time at County General Hospital, part of the reason it's NBC's most popular show.
So, what do those cards say about the future of the 13-year-old medical drama? Giving "ER" a clean bill of health for seasons to come.
Alright, a little "ER" trivia for you. The show has 117 Emmy nominations, and that ties television's all-time leader, "Cheers," and many in the business believe "ER" will break that record.
By the way, creators are considering expanding this season to 25 episodes.
