300 Patients in Episode 300

[Dropping The Helicopter]

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY. I just heard it not five minutes ago.
According to the latest E.R. promo, which are known to have an accuracy
without peer, the next episode will be the 300th episode of E.R., and
will coincidentally feature the appearance of no fewer than THREE
HUNDRED PATIENTS.

While not explicitly stated in the promo, it is safe to assume that due
to the very-specialness of the 300th episode, and the need to cram the
appearance of THREE HUNDRED PATIENTS into it without it appearing
gimmicky, it will be broadcast without commercial interruption (what the
French call "sans interruptions commerciales"). With that assumption
firmly in hand, let us now calculate the screen time each patient will,
on average, get:

60 minutes... divided by 300... carry the one... equals 0.2 minutes, or
converting to seconds... times 60 seconds per minute... square of the
hypotenuse...

Twelve seconds. Average.

TREAT 'EM AND STREET 'EM BABY OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

And my first reaction to seeeing the promo is only 300 patients that
day? Around here our trauma center ERs probably get alot more than
300 patients in a shift.

We have ERs here that probably do the 300 patients in an hour.

I'd assume that many of them will be grouped together.

"Attention, people, we've got a bus crash coming in. 60 patients
in various states of injury."

Wrong. My cable tv guide (Comcast) shows Scrubs from 9:31pm to
10:01pm, er from 10:01pm to 11:00pm.

Sparta? This episode is probably just an half-assed idea to bring back
the old plots of one character taking control of a chaos-filled ER. Not
that it'll work with this half-assed cast.

Maybe they got confused during the making of the promo and what we'll
really see is scantily clad loin clothed wearing warriors from another
age in to have their wounds treated.


TBerk
where is 'Title IX' when you _really_ need it?

Wanna bet that Morris pulls of some lame 300 reference?

Nonono, you skipped a crucial part of my analysis:

"While not explicitly stated in the promo, it is safe to assume that
[...] it will be broadcast without commercial interruption (what the
French call "sans interruptions commerciales").

Man oh man, I cannot WAIT for tonights' totally non-gimmicky episode! I
got my pad and pencil all ready and warmed up so I can tally up all
THREE HUNDRED PATIENTS! I'm betting each 12-second vignette is better
than the last!

Well, it wasn't broadcasted without commercial interutption. They would
had said so in the first place if that was the intent. And you were wrong
as to how they were going to do it anyway.

Guilty as charged: I'm a better TV-show-making-guy than TEERPTB, who
can't even steal my horrible ideas, but insist on coming up with way
more boring ones.

I hate to say it but this episode was so bad we needed the
commercials. You know a show has jumped the shark big time
when the commercials are better than the show.
