As L.A.-filmed, Chicago-set television show ER winds down it's 15th and final season, several actors from the show, including original cast-member Noah Wyle, were in town this week to film some final scenes for future episodes. The show has, from time to time, filmed certain scenes here, but now that the popular drama is winding down, the city took the time to honor the show by declaring yesterday "ER Day." With ER coming to the end of its run, it's also time for us to figure out where the show ranks in terms of Chicago-set shows. Our knee-jerk reaction is to place it somewhere below Perfect Strangers but above Family Matters. (Punky Brewster is our favorite.)

We know that it's apparently never too early to start celebrating the Christmas season, but when you're comedian and Northwestern grad Stephen Colbert, we're all ears. The hilarious TV show host debuts his new Christmas special, A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All, tomorrow night (Sunday, November 23) at 9 p.m. on Comedy Central. Stephen will celebrate the holidays (Hannukah, too, we're told) with some help from Feist, Toby Keith, John Legend, Willie Nelson and Jon Stewart. Given Colbert's usual antics, we're guessing it's going to be a jolly good time. If you like what you see (and hear!) tomorrow night, you'll be able to purchase a DVD of the show and an EP of the songs on iTunes, with proceeds benefiting Feeding America. But not bears. No way. We love Stephen and can't wait to see what green screen surprises he springs on us next.
