With his feature directorial debut, My Dead Boyfriend, Anthony Edwards is enjoying life behind the camera -- something he appreciated long before becoming known as Goose in Top Gun or Mark Greene on NBC’s long-running medical drama, ER. “It goes all the way back to when I was 16,” he tells Et. “I always loved the technical side of film.”
And having acted for a decade before even joining ER, it was only natural for Edwards to take on the opportunity to direct an episode of the series, “Take These Broken Wings,” in the second season. “ER was a great place for my debut because I had the familiarity of all the crew and everybody,” Edwards says. “I could play and experiment with the ideas that I had of how to visualize it.”

It took a full century since Edgar Rice Burroughs created the character in 1912, but "John Carter" is finally slicing, dicing and leaping his way through Martian bad guys to a theater near you via the magic (and deep pockets) of Walt Disney Pictures.
But wait, what's that you say? "John Carter isn't a soldier transported to Mars, he's an emergency room doctor in Chicago!" Them's fightin' words.
To clear up confusion and dishonor, we're pitting Taylor Kitsch's John Carter against Noah Wyle's John Carter from the long-running NBC show "ER." These two had better draw their swords/scalpels and get ready for one serious showdown.
Occupation
Dr. John Truman Carter III: Emergency medicine physician, philanthropist
John Carter of Mars: Confederate Civil War captain, treasure hunter
Advantage: Doctor. Even though the Virginian wins points for general badassery, he mos def picked the wrong side to fight in during the Civil War,...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
“After Hours” was predominantly focused on potential romantic partnerships yet I was not nauseated by it, just kind of bored. Although the episode benefits from the continued plot arc of having the office split between the staff members which are contributing to the Sabre retail store chain project and those left behind in Scranton, the stories here felt par for the course, things we saw coming from previous episodes that had to be followed through. Both locales’ late night activities focused on desperate attempts to hook up, all of which failed. From each botched effort to forge an immediate material connection, however, something intangibly genuine was revealed. Despite the consistency and admirable revelatory nature of the plots, little of “After Hours” really had me laughing except for Dwight’s brief recap of his family’s history with time travel.

"After Hours" was a perfect example of the positives and negatives that arise by The Office's decision to split the cast into two for at least a few episodes in the middle of season eight.
Essentially, a super group has been formed in Tallahassee, joining together for some of the best characters on the show. Dwight, Pam-less Jim, new and improved Stanley, Ryan, Dwight, a surprisingly funny Gabe, and the better of the guest stars from last season's finale in Catherine Tate, are here in one place, and it made for some darn hilarious escapades this week.
While I'm not sure how to react to the idea that Pam's Replacement wants to hook up with Jim, I do know that everyone's reactions to it have been hilarious. Jim acting awkward around her, Stanley turning the other cheek and Dwight all but expediting the process was great.

ER pushed the schmaltz bar high, with its singalongs and sob-alongs, its jokes and pranks, and do you remember the dog being given mouth-to-mouth in the first series?
How could I have forgotten all this? In the first series of ER, broadcast in 1994, a dog is given mouth-to-mouth, a basketball team of nuns are hauled in for pregnancy tests, and a 10-year-old gang member goes on a gun-toting rampage, barging into the trauma room to finish off a foe.
It could only happen in ER, a place where even the lowliest stomach ache is certain to morph into a city-wide catastrophe. Poor Casualty, with its mild disagreements in the carpark, just didn't have a chance. ER not only had grit and pace, it was also directed by the likes of Quentin Tarantino and had stars like George Clooney as heart-melting paediatrician Doug Ross.
