If their ratings continue to tank heads will roll... they took one of their best shows (ER) and tried to make it political this year. I think they must have received complaints because they backed off, but for a few weeks they had Danny Glover guesting and it was painful.
ER went political a long time ago, when half of the female characters came out as lesbians. I used to watch religiously but haven't seen it in two years now. Is it still on?
