Description of ER - The Complete Third Season:
The third season of ER had some of the series' most compelling and wrenching story lines. John Carter (Noah Wylie) is now an intern, but his surgical dreams continue to be thwarted by Dr. Benton (Eriq La Salle), a frustration shared by fellow student Dennis Gant (Omar Epps). Benton also torments former lover Jeanie Boulet (Gloria Reuben), who has tested positive for HIV. Because he has tested negative, he's free to badger her about the risks involved in her treating patients while moving on to his next potential conquest, a sexy waitress named Carla (Lisa Nicole Carson). Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards) continues to be one of the series' focal points, struggling to survive the bureaucracy of management and still feel like a doctor. And now single, he goes on bad dates as does Dr. Lewis (Sherry Stringfield), both ignoring the obvious until a seemingly casual vacation invitation sets a number of uncomfortable wheels turning.
The other focal point is nurse Carol Hathaway (Julianna Margulies), for whom things go from bad to worse. She has serious money problems, her career choice doesn't look so good anymore, and when a patient dies, she finds herself suspended. That sets the stage for one of the series' most memorable episodes, which takes place almost completely outside the hospital. Hathaway goes to the corner grocery store, where she meets guest star Ewan McGregor, and things take off from there. She also wisely keeps her distance from former lover Dr. Ross (George Clooney), who may have really done it when he brings into the ER a one-night stand suffering from a seizure and has to admit he doesn't even know her name.
County General survives a closure scare, but instead has to absorb some new additions, including chief of staff Donald Anspaugh (John Aylward), intern Maggie Doyle (Jorjan Fox), and the best pediatric surgeon in Chicago, Abby Keaton (Glenne Headley), who attracts the attention of Benton and Carter for professional and/or personal reasons. But those additions are countered by two emotional goodbyes, and other gritty story lines, including a troubled teen (Kirsten Dunst) and an assault on a doctor, helped make ER's third season often tough to take, but unforgettable.
Special features consist of commentary tracks on two episodes; a 15-minute spotlight on the episode "Fear of Flying" with new interviews with Sherry Stringfield, Noah Wylie, and Glenne Headley; bloopers and outtakes; and a featurette on the ER's nurses with interviews of Yvette Freeman, Abraham Benrubi, Ellen Crawford, and others, but not Julianna Margulies. --David Horiuchi
ER - The Complete Third Season Reviews:
Para coleccionistas 
2008-05-23 - Exelente presentacion en 6 dvds, en estuche de lujo con guia de capitulos, los fanaticos de la serie que hemos tenido la oportunidad de comparar las prsentaciones de la serie entre zona 4 y zona 1 nos quedamos con esta ultima ya que respeta el formato original, la presentacion es mucho mas agradable y vistosa y la calidad es muy superior.
Not the Best Season 
2007-12-31 - After watching some of the shows on TNT, I loved ER i have seasons 1-6 and imn almost done with season 5 and without a doubt season 3 is my least. It is still good but it doesnt quite compare to the other seasons. Some highlights for me would be "Night Shift" when the ER loses a cast member. I was totally shocked to see that happen. Racism comes face to face with Dr. Greene in "Tribes", and he gets beat up bad in a later episode. All in all it was a good year for ER, certainly not the best but well worth the money
er-the complete third season 
2007-09-27 - I purchaced this dvd as a gift...my friend was soo happy..she has been watching them as much as she can...A must have for all er fans
ER Complete Third Season
2007-06-13 - Why does Julianna leave? For Doug? C'mon. She should have dumped him (he was leaving the show anyhow) and stayed on. She was so good, so real, so likeable. Maybe NBC'd consider her coming to visit for a few episodes? So, really, what'd Julianna Marguilles do since she left ER?
Come back, Carol Hathaway. We miss ya'!
Great to have it all to watch anytime we want to. Keep 'em coming.
ER Addict
2007-02-15 - I am only 20, but ER was a staple in my household since my mom first started watching it. I watched it when I was younger and still watch it to this day. ER influenced me so much that I'm currently in Nursing school. If you are a old school ER fan or a new ER fan, I recommend getting all the seasons on DVD. I watch them more then once, and it's very entertaining watching the all the seasons in order, over again. You'll be very happy with these DVD's. Enjoy!
