Noah Wyle: ER vs. The Pitt Lawsuit ‘Taints the Legacy’ of Iconic NBC Drama, Makes Me ‘Profoundly Sad’
Noah Wyle says he has “never felt less celebratory” of ER‘s achievements than he has in the eight months since Michael Crichton’s widow filed a lawsuit suggesting that Max’s The Pitt is an unsanctioned, low-key revival of the iconic NBC medical drama.
In August, Sherri Crichton filed suit against Wyle, fellow The Pitt EPs John Wells and R. Scott Gemmill, and Warner Bros. TV for walking away from long-drawn-out negotiations to make a new version of ER — a concept that allegedly morphed into The Pitt and does not credit Crichton as a creator.
