Well, that 18-49 demo was the only thing ER really had left: WaT was
gaining on it last year, so it was only a matter of time.

The only reason NBC has hung on so long is the fact that they don't
have a big dramatic hit. Once they get one, ER will become a lot less
important to them.
But its glory days are long, long over, and every year it slips a
little more.
