I'm sorry but The Pitt is far more superior than ER.

So every medical drama can then be sued by his widow, station 19, greys anatomy, Chicago Med. It’s crazy.

ER was so long ago, most people don't remember it or even know about.

Grey’s copied the first few seasons of ER so heavily! I always wondered about if they would sue over it. I have to be honest, it looks suspicious that Noah was rejected for a reboot and coincidentally starred in a show about the emergency room later on!

they're different enough and this feels like a money grab. settling out of court with undisclosed amounts

I am pretty sure you could watch the first episode of ER, The Pitt, Chicago Med, and any other ER based show and see similarities.... just like cop shows.

ER was drama filled like Greys Anatomy, The Pitt doesn’t rely solo on romance drama

Totally different. One season of the Pitt equals one shift. That's an entirely different way to portray a medical drama

I used to watch ER and screen a few clips of the show. I watched just enough of it that they are so different, grays is more like ER than the pitt

Maybe St.Elsewhere should sue the creators of ER?

ER, Greys, Chicago Med … viewers saw follow up of ER patients after they left the ED and personal staff lives, whereas, The Pitt storylines remain in the ED.

Then you have to take every show that ever had an emergency room in it (and is medical based), to court.

The Pitt is more everyday real life how the ER works. ER was more about the characters that worked in the ER.

The Pitt is way better than ER. ER was trash.

How dare she. Er had its time. It was great. But ran its course. The Pitt is a whole different concept. Similar yes but still very different.
