Last month, I took a trip to Nerdsville with posts featuring Anthony Edwards and Robert Carradine from the 1984 comedy, Revenge of the Nerds. (HERE: & HERE:) It began by watching Carradine in the 1977 flick Orca, which led me to look to see if either actor had any nude scenes on film. They both did.
While researching the piece, I discovered that Carradine actually made a guest appearance on ER, the long running drama starring Edwards. It was in the shows first season, and it had me looking checking out the episode on Prime. I watched just in time, as I only managed to catch a few episodes before the show was yanked from the streaming service.
I was still in school when ER came on the air, and it became a Thursday night staple to watch. I often wasn't home to watch it live, but had dozens of VHS tapes full of episodes that devoured when I had the time. I think I stopped watching at about season 7 or 8, when most of the original cast had left. Those first five or six seasons were appointment television however, and the few episodes I watched on Prime have me craving a fuller re-watch.
ER was one of several shows in the 90's that tried to sneak in a little bit of nudity from time to time. Unfortunately, due to a few kranky Karen's, the trend didn't last long. Although it was the 90's, not everyone had high speed Internet in their homes, so the puritan pack mostly had to write letters to the networks to complain about the brief flash of male butt they were aghast to see on their television screens. Check out those few brief flashes from ER on THE NEXT PAGE HERE:
