Long before Jurassic Park was the embryo of an idea in Michael Crichton's mind, there was "ER." A medical student who dreamt of a career in Hollywood, Crichton did what any aspiring writer would: he created a script based on time working in a high-octane hospital emergency department. It wasn't until Crichton turned his attention to dinosaurs and his 1990 novel JURASSIC PARK became a megahit that Steven Spielberg's camp asked the former doctor what other ideas he was kicking around. And, thus, "ER" was born. Despite some resistance from NBC's top brass, the Warner Bros. Television drama became an overnight hit. It would, in its heyday, average 35 million viewers per season (in an era before streaming and DVRs), and was either the number one or number two most watched show on television for six years.
