It’s well known around the newsroom that I’m still obsessed with ER. Yeah, ER. It’s still on. Most of you probably gave it up after George Clooney left in the late 1990’s. Others may have held on until Anthony Edwards’ departure. But no one watches it now, right?
I do.
I’ve seen every episode of the medical drama, now in its 15th and final season, and I’m counting down (along with Ellen) to the final episode set to air on April 2nd.
The point of all this is centered on a co-worker of mine.
Over the course of the past year, I’ve begun to realize that a character on the show is nearly a carbon copy of Eric.
Dr. Archie Morris, portrayed by Scott Grimes, is talented, hard working and friendly. He’s also known for his loud and often hilarious comments that cause the rest of his colleagues to stop what they’re doing in disbelief.
That’s our Eric. His jokes aren’t always funny, but the newsroom would never be the same without them.
In the spirit of ER, ‘you set the tone’ Bushman. ‘You set the tone’.

With regard to his so-called committment phobia….I think this is simply a clever ploy on his part and he uses this as his escape clause. It’s a nicer way to let any woman down that he may tire of. That being said, I can probably spare 3 years out of my life and hang out together and do whatever comes naturally…..hahaha..this is really sad especially when he never reads any of this rubbish.
