NBC has given "ER" at least two more years to live, as it announced its renewed series this week. Aside from the long-running hospital drama, "The West Wing," "Crossing Jordan,"
"Las Vegas," and
"Joey" were also given the nod to continue. "ER," which has been on for 11 seasons, is averaging a 7.8 rating and a 20 share among adults ages 18-49 with 16.5 million viewers overall for the season,
an NBC spokesman said. -- D.K.
