The Pitt is a realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today’s America as seen through the lens of the frontline heroes working in a modern-day hospital. Each of the hour long 15 episodes portrays in realtime what one 15 hour shift at the ER is like at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center (PTMC) on the North Side of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There is a Life Flight helicopter landing pad on the hospital’s roof and their emergency department is located in the basement of the hospital and is referred to as "The Pitt".

I'm looking forward to this.  It has been getting some decent reviews.  The one thing that cracks me up the most about them, though, is that it feels like every one is going out of their way to point out that this does not feel like an ER reboot as if they were contractually obligated to point that out.  I can see the lawyers for the defense whipping out the reviews.

I remember hearing about an ER reboot in the works and then that faded & news aboutThe Pitt dropped this year with constant claims that it was absolutely, 100%, not ER in any way shape or form.

According to TVLine: “[Wells] thought about it, and we talked about it, and then we ended up bringing in a couple of the old ER writers,” including Gemmill and David Zabel. “We came up with a concept, and it really never got out of the starting gate,” Wyle conceded on a June episode of the Still Here Hollywood podcast, explaining that they “had some issues” with the Crichton estate, “and the negotiations became a non-starter.” 

Seems to me like the bones of this were that ER reboot idea and once it didn’t work out they had to quickly pivot and deny. But once it airs audiences can judge for themselves. I think it’ll probably end up with some similarities to ER & other medical shows because there are only so many patient stories to tell. Even that silly ABC show that put its doctors on a boat seems to have a few of the usual cases. Originality in a well tread and over saturated area is hard to come by.

I watched ER over a few years ago, skipping a few at the end but miss the crew and loved the Covid get together on youtube, seeing George and Eriq and Julianna etc.

I would have liked a more ER reboot but maybe it's better to not do that. I hope I can love this show enough to keep watching because there isn't much out there and medical dramas (to me) have been boring since ER to me. I'd get a few in and just say no. I'm glad Noah is back, beard and all.
