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.)
