Mr. Goodbytes J With the addition of an old face and the departing of two, ER's eighth season creates a tearjerking goodbye to one of TV's greatest actors, although some would rightly speculate that the show might be on its last legs after these departures. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
