When I heard Noah Wyle was returning to the medical drama world with a new series called The Pitt, I felt a wave of nostalgia: My mom was a devoted ER fan. I knew I’d be checking it out, but what I didn’t know was how quickly the series would turn me into my mom circa the late ‘90s. Every Thursday, I am ~transfixed~ when the show comes on.
