In this E. R., you never know who's going to show up (1984)

 This Christmas episode of E. R. finds the staff having to work through a blizzard. Dr. Sheinfeld (Elliott Gould) learns that his daughter (Pamela Seagall) wants to move in with him instead of with her mom and a prospective stepdad.

George Clooney (ex-The Facts of Life) debuts as a new doctor, who's a bit of a ladies man. MTV doll Martha Quinn appears as herself, nursing an injury. Turns out Jenny (Seagall) is a huge fan. Jason Alexander appears briefly.

Unfortunately, while the full episode is available, it is in poor quality, so this excerpt will have to do.

  1. My 6th grade class was part of the CBS test audience for the pilot of this show. It was broadcast as an episode of the Jeffersons.

  2. It's what's known in the business as a back-door pilot. Don't know if that pilot is on YouTube.
