E.R. The Complete Fourteenth Season 

Available to own on 

DVD for $59.95RRP, and from the 28 April 2010 Seasons 1-13 DVDs are also available for $29.95RRP 

The doctor drama never seems to cease in the fourteenth instalment of one of TV’s perennial favourites.  ER, the most Emmy®-nominated show in television history, continues its incredible in-depth look into the lives of the doctors of a public hospital emergency room and the immense daily pressures they face. The longest-running medical drama in American primetime television returns once again as Warner Home Video releases ER: The Complete Fourteenth Season on DVD on 28 April, 2010. This six-disc set contains all 19 episodes plus awesome special features including Outpatient Outakes: Unaired Scenes, ER AT 300: Highlights from the ER 300th Episode Tribute at the Paley Centre for Media Featuring Cast and Crew.

Back with your favourite characters for season 14 including Abby (Maura Tierney), Pratt (Mekhi Pheifer), Morris (Scott Grimes), Neela (Parminder Nagra), Gates (John Stamos), Sam (Linda Cardellini) and Luka (Goran Visnjic). Created and produced by Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park) and produced by Christopher Chulack (“Southland”, “Third Watch”), John Wells (“Southland”, “Shameless”) and David Zabel.

At an ER party, Nurse Chuny Marquez recalls, “I still remember when Mark Green and Doug Ross were running the place.” “Who?” asks a new comer. So much has happened in 14 seasons, so many people have come and gone, but the chaos of saving lives and the dedication of the people who make County General run remain. In this penultimate season of the powerful, award-winning series, personal tragedies threaten — and sometimes strengthen — relationships among the staff. And the patients bring their own compelling stories. A boy genius diagnoses his mysterious illness, a cancer-ridden prison doctor is haunted by the men he put to death, and a woman arrives in the ER expecting her 13th baby. Triumph, loss, tears, joy…next!

“We are thrilled to release the latest instalment of ER, one of the most highly acclaimed drama series of our time,” said Caroline Skillen, Marketing Director. “Season 14 promises to deliver more heart-pounding episodes with more memorable performances from the doctors you have come to know and love.”

The secrets are served deep-dish when family skeletons –both literal and figurative – loom over the Pie Hole and its patrons. As jockey cum waitress Olive Snook joins a nunnery to mend her broken heart, the Pie Maker who broke it hides Chuck from her Aunt Vivian and mother Lily, who believe she’s dead. Naturally, this results in resurrecting Chuck’s father, who actually was dead. Private Investigator Emerson Cod has daddy issues of his own when his baby-stealing baby-mama finds herself at the centre of a damned dam murder case. This wondrous, witty and moving confection is as irresistible as the Pie Maker’s three-plum pie.
