Absolutely never going to happen but I wish the next James Bond would adopt the approach of Yamasaki's Godzilla movies: set it in the '60s and have Bond reckoning with the dismantling of the British empire.
Crichton's ER wasn't even the first show named ER to star George Clooney.
An appeals court ruled that “The Pitt” is similar enough to “ER” to allow Michael Crichton’s widow to pursue a lawsuit over the Emmy-winning show.
The appeals court did dismiss a claim against key creators of the show — Noah Wyle, John Wells and R. Scott Gemmill — finding no evidence that they were aware they could be violating Crichton’s contractual rights.
“There are clear and numerous similarities between ‘The Pitt’ and ‘ER,” the court ruled, citing the emergency room setting, the fast pace, the medical jargon, the graphic depictions of injuries, and a young, incompetent doctor fresh from medical school. “We find the details here suffice for a prima facie case.”

The lawsuit isn’t based solely on similarities between the shows. The Pitt emerged after negotiations for an ER revival fell apart, which would have seen Noah Wyle reprise his role as Dr. John Carter.

I don’t know why religious people pretend to hate Halloween so much. It’s fun to dress up and pretend to be someone else. Hell, they do it every Sunday.
There is no way the Swedes are having dinner two hours later than the Spanish.
Dinner Time in Europe

The map is incorrect. Perhaps the most notorious example of its inaccuracy is the dinner time described for Spain, which usually occurs between 9pm and 11pm.
