10-11 PM · NBC · Returns Sept. 25
As the ER ambulances screech into their final season, exec producer John Wells is preparing to...introduce a new major character! Angela Bassett will, he says, ''come in as the attending [physician] in the department, the position Laura Innes had for a long time as Weaver and that Paul McCrane had as Romano. She's running the ER and is a tough taskmaster.'' (There will be ''much butting of heads'' between her and John Stamos.) As for the returning stars and the series finale: ''Noah Wyle has always been committed to be back, so he's doing four episodes this season, and he was always what the final episode was gonna be about.'' Sorry, folks no mention of The Clooney showing up.
