    Watched every episode. Love this this show. Hate reality shows. TV has nothing to offer at this point. Bring back - ering, jag, commander and chief, all the goodies that have gone. I now watch reruns of The District, Jag, Nash Bridges, etc.

    Bring it back. My family enjoyed it. We like its use of current events for story lines. We have a tendency of liking the thing that the critics don't and hate the crap left on the tube that appaently the critics vote for.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this show and though rumor has it that NBC will be airing new episodes in August (the show's web site says so), other rumors abound: that FX has optioned it for the United Kingdom. A TV Guide source thinks NBC might air the new shows on Saturday nights, but is not sure either.

    I didn't think it was possible to come up with a more seriously stupid series then JAG but then again I've been wrong before. Each successively more juvenile episode shows what's wrong really wrong with American television. From the casting (Benjamin Bratt and Dennis Hopper?) to the silly and juvenile dialogue and scripting E Ring offers no hope of a saving grace.

From the casting (Benjamin Bratt and Dennis Hopper?) to the silly and juvenile dialogue and scripting E Ring offers no hope of a saving grace. I hate to admit I have actually watched three consecutive episodes. The first because as career military I was captivated by the premise and the pre-hype, the second since even something this poor deserves a second chance to correct itself and the third for the same reason eyes are drawn to a horrendous accident. The only saving grace for this program would be a swift death. Benjamin Bratt is a much better actor then this, he should be ashamed to have his name associated with E Ring.… Expand

    Excelllent New Show, Personally I think the critics are idiots, I seriously doubt any of them ever served in the military so how can they judge accurately? I saw the premiere, and also Im currently serving in the military, I appreciate NBC for doing this kind of show. God Bless Everyone.

    If you like West Wing than this show is for you. It's a fast paced, amazingly different than anything out there. Fantastically written with all the elements of drama, action, comedy and romance.

    E-Ring is one of the best shows we have seen in a long time (and of course 24) but what has happened to the episodes? Here we are in March and it is not on. Thanks for getting this show back on, please.

    A great entertaining show that keeps it short and simple about world events which different perspectives on peoples opions of those elements we deal with. However, giving the one true action remedy to resolve the conflict. Any show could be scrutinized about complete relisticly, but we dont watch drama actions shows for realism completely. Its the entertainment we look for. This show A great entertaining show that keeps it short and simple about world events which different perspectives on peoples opions of those elements we deal with.

    How can this not be on right now? I think the networks underestimate the viewers attention spans and intelligence, bring back E-ring - less Deal or No Deal

    I'm REALLY ticked at NBC for putting this show on hiatus. That's reduced my weekly 3-4 hrs. of viewing NBC by 1 hour. I don't watch the garbage that's in it's place.

    One of my all time favorite shows - who cares if it's accurate or not; it has a fast pace, action, drama, and new story lines - not recycled. The critics be damned.

    the scriptwriters and producers are ignorant of the material they handle. the "show" is simply a vehicle for placing attractive actors in positions to deliver trite dialog. the show does a disservice to the military and the nation it serves.

    Somewhat catchy with the near-headline scripts, but the more you understand about the military and politics, the less enjoyable it is.

    [It has] a tick-tick-tick pace almost as intense as that of 24.

    Unfortunately, despite an interesting pair of lead actors, ''E-Ring" is stubbornly conventional and bland.

    The half-tense dramatic payoff is a pleasant surprise, but the bluster -- oh, the bluster and machismo are palpable.
