ER: The Live Internet Episode
by Ronald Warren Deutsch

3:00 a.m. 18.Nov.98.PST
If the dramatic intrigue of television's ER, Chicago Hope, and L.A.
Doctors aren't delivering enough blood and surgery for you, how about a
12-hour webcast from a real live emergency room?
The American Health Network, which filmed the first live Internet birth,
will be at the Ben Taub General Hospital Emergency Room in Houston, Texas,
on Friday.

Trauma Center Live will be hosted by Dr. Winnie King, an emergency-room
physician and host of AHN Television's Women & Children First, and Dr.
Alix Casler, host of AHN's Ask the Pediatrician. Cameras will follow
doctors and patients through the halls and examining rooms, documenting
emergency procedures.

Doctors also will discuss "how to act when an emergency strikes at home,"
according to J. Tod Fetherling, AHN.com's president.

Ben Taub, located in the heart of Houston, Texas, is considered one of the
busiest Level 1 Trauma Centers in the nation. Level 1 centers are equipped
for very severe injuries.

"We're really very excited about letting the rest of the nation see what
kind of work is being done here," said Carol Kohn, a hospital
representative.

AHN hopes to produce other medical webcasts in the future, including
open-heart surgery, hair transplants, and eye surgery. Just remember:
Don't try these procedures at home.

Occasionally, a wayward tear still rolls down my cheek, but now we have bigger problems--Diane might start drinking again to cope with her loss!! Don't do it, Diane! Also, we got to see the new guy's butt (Ricky Shroeder) already, which was a sort of balm (*sigh*).

Autumn, hey there.

L&O was pretty good (almost always is, right?) I thought it was interesting seeing how they dug up info from 30 years ago. I also liked the part about cops being agents-provocatuers (see? French!), which was true in many cities and even the FBI back then (and probably even now). I also liked the generational differences that the regular characters had.

NYPDB is an OK show, but the thing about Diane buying a bottle at the end of one show, then not drinking it the next show was something done before on Hill Street Blues with Capt. Furillo. The exact same thing. The producers of NYPDB also produced Hill Street. They're stealing from themselves. The bad thing about Jimmy Smits leaving is that we won't see Diane's butt again for a long time. :-(

Promo for Homicide tonight looks pretty good. Munch and Lewis look like the main guys. It's about time. Did you catch the one where Kellerman came back as a sleazy private eye? It was great.

George, re: NYPD Blue--everything old is new again, eh? There is nothing new under the sun. No new storylines, period. That new detective seems pretty concerned about Diane, so you may see her butt sooner than you think. God knows we've already had to see his!

I liked L&O too, especially because it dealt with an old homicide. For some reason I prefer the ones that require investigations that cross over time periods rather than "fresh" murders, you know? Like tonight, for instance, Homicide is supposed to be about some old bones found somewhere. These investigations tend to be interesting, probably because of both cultural and generational differences in the players, as you pointed out. As far as the agent-provocateur theme goes, do you think the gov't still
plays that role today? Naturally, in the arenas of drugs and terrorism there is that undercover element, but what about other areas?

By the way, I did see the Kellerman two-parter, and it was good! My, how Mikey has fallen...I'm glad to hear Munch is going to get some air time tonight, I feel like he's hardly gotten a handful of lines in each show since the new season aired.

That Homicide last Friday was really good. I especially liked the fact that she ripped off her fellow bank robbers and put the money in a trust fund for her daughter. It was a pretty smart show. Well done.

Yeah, that was pretty funny! I read a critical write-up about Homicide recently, namely that they are relying too much on the newcomers this season and not enough on the established characters, such as Munch and Bayliss. It's true, they seldom get many lines in each episode.

First there was print. Then there was radio and television. Now, a whole new medium to sell advertising has emerged: the Internet. And fans of "The Drew Carey Show" are rejoicing over it.

Internet executives have realized the potential for webcasts to elicit thousands of viewers for some time now. But until recently, because the necessary technology (faster modems, higher processing speeds) was not widespread, few webcasts had much of a turnout.

Victoria's Secret, of all things, changed that perception. Their webcast display of underwear babes brought 100,000 simultaneous viewers. The potential became a reality, and a new twist on TV was born: simultaneous broadcasting over two different mediums designed to further enhance the viewing experience.

ABC is promoting an event that it's hoping will at least double the numbers that Victoria's lingerie models brought. Says Pat Vance, vice president of Internet marketing at ABC, "We are assured that this is going to be the largest streaming event that has ever occurred."

These are high ambitions. So what can bring those numbers? None other than the first beer-swigging, accordion-playing comic ever to grace primetime airwaves: Drew Carey.

On November 17, a video webcam will be placed on the set of "The Drew Carey Show" that will capture the same action that's simultaneously playing on the television, but from a different angle. If the camera moves to a different room, the webcam will stay on, providing webcast viewers with completely new scenes of the show that are unavailable to television-only viewers. The whole idea is to allow webcam viewers to see "inside" jokes that occur within the program -- like seeing the oft-praised "Director's
ut" of a movie right then and there.

"This is the first time a show has been created with the webcast component to it," says Vance. "It is very unique in that regard. We've never explored this area in the past and neither has any other network."

But are viewers hungry for more scoop on their favorite television stars? It certainly seems so. Do a keyword search on the Web portal of your choice. You will find that not only is there an official show site devoted to the bespectacled comedian, but also there are sites created by Drew-obsessed fans all over the country. Try Geocities, where there are more than 50, all with gratuitous information about the show. Apparently, there is a demand.

The number of viewers expected to tune in, log on and sit back is expected to be a quarter of a million -- more than twice the previous webcam record - and ABC will be sitting at the forefront of a move that's providing an entirely new twist on the viewing experience. In the ultra-competitive world of primetime sit-coms, quick editing is not enough. Short commercial breaks are not enough, nor is a high laughs-per-minute ratio enough. In a country where Attention Deficit Disorder prevails, viewers are hung
y for more and more exciting means of entertainment. ABC and "The Drew Carey Show" are happy to oblige.

Los Angeles -- Has Walt Disney's body been cryogenically frozen? Did Steve of "Blue's Clues" die of a drug overdose? Was Jerry Mathers of Beaver Cleaver fame killed in the Vietnam War?

No to all three. And each of these urban legends and hundreds more like them are painstakingly debunked at Snopes.com, a popular Web site that some think would make for great television.

Writer-director Michael Levine has finished a pilot episode of a show he calls "Snopes: Urban Legends" that stars former "Guiding Light" actor Jim Davidson.

He made the pilot on spec using a crew and cast who worked for nothing more than the promise of a paying job if the show sells. It consists of Davidson explaining various well-known rumors, then telling the audience whether they're true or false; if false, he explains their genesis.

"I kept getting bombarded in my e-mail box with urban legends," Levine said.

Everybody says goodbye to Raymond, the Muppets pay a visit to the wizard of Oz, Britney Spears gets her
own reality series, and Quentin Tarantino directs an episode of CSI.

American Idol and Survivor will crown new winners, as will America's Next Top Model, The Apprentice, The
Contender and The Amazing Race. The Bachelor may or may not meet his match. And Rob and Amber's marriage
vows will be sealed by a CBS kiss.

Elvis lives in the talented hands of young-Presley lookalike Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Bend It Like Beckham),
Fox brings back Family Guy, Hercules flexes his muscles, and Dr. Phil makes two prime-time house calls.

Summer is more than a month away, but May looks like a scorcher for TV.

Need more evidence? Between April 28 and May 23, we'll face the finales of JAG, Third Watch and
Enterprise; a movie that purports to take on Donald Trump; the 40th annual Academy of Country Music
Awards; the 32nd annual Daytime Emmy Awards; and The West Wing's Janel Maloney portraying Amber Frey in a
movie about the Scott Peterson case.

Oh, and did we mention the season finales that wrap up yearlong story lines on Lost, 24, Veronica Mars,
Alias, Smallville and Desperate Housewives?

All this fuss is less about the enjoyment it gives viewers (however grateful we might be) and more about
ratings, which can be translated into advertising rates. May is a "sweeps" month, when local stations use
Nielsen Media Research's audience measurement to set future prices for commercials.

May is also the networks' backloaded way to win bragging rights for the 2004-2005 season. This year, CBS
is running away in the total households and total viewers categories but is in a dogfight with Fox for
age 18-49 supremacy. ABC is in position to finish in third place for the season, and NBC is in danger of
finishing fourth in the 18-49 category for the first time ever.

With so much at stake, it's no wonder that the May sweeps, which starts Thursday, is looking like
gangbusters. The most vicious confrontation comes May 25, last day of the sweeps, when the finale of
Fox's wildly popular American Idol will compete with the finale of ABC's Lost and CBS' Amber Frey movie.

Or it could be "Fallen Idol," a May 4 Primetime Live report that ABC says will explore "explosive claims"
about behind-the-scenes activities at American Idol.

Here's a network-by-network rundown:

ABC: Four fresh episodes of Desperate Housewives and Lost begin Sunday and May 2, respectively.
Housewives' season finale is May 22. Lost concludes May 25 with a two-hour finale.

The Bachelor finale airs May 16.

Lena Olin returns for the season's final two episodes of Alias May 18 and 25.

Ashanti is Dorothy, Queen Latifah is Auntie Em, and Jeffrey Tambor is the wizard in The Muppets' Wizard
of Oz May 20. Playing to her strengths, Miss Piggy fills four roles: the Wicked Witch of the East, West,
North and South. Kermit stretches as the Scarecrow, Gonzo is the Tin Thing and Fozzie Bear plays the
Lion.

Justin Louis stars in Trump Unauthorized, based on Gwenda Blair's Donald Trump biographies, on May 24.

CBS: The finale of JAG airs Friday.

Rosie O'Donnell plays a mentally challenged woman and Andie MacDowell is her sister in Riding the Bus
With My Sister. The movie, directed by Anjelica Huston, airs Sunday.

The last episode of Everybody Loves Raymond airs May 16, preceded by a one-hour retrospective.

Dr. Phil McGraw hosts two prime-time specials, May 4 and 20.

Elvis, a two-parter, airs May 8 and 11. Randy Quaid is the King's manager, Colonel Tom Parker; Camryn
Manheim is his mother, Gladys Presley; and Antonia Bernath plays wife Priscilla Presley. Elvis by the
Presleys, an entertainment special promising never-before-seen performances, airs May 13.

The finale of Survivor: Palau airs May 15.

Academy of Country Music awards are handed out May 17, and the Daytime Emmys are awarded May 20.

CSI concludes its season May 19 with a two-hour episode in which one of the CSI team is buried alive.
Quentin Tarantino directs, and Tony Curtis and Frank Gorshin make cameos.

On the May 23 season finale of CSI: Miami, Dean Winters (Oz) appears as Horatio's brother Ray.
