Viewers in the mood to reminisce returned to ER last night. The appearance of Anthony Edwards gave a nice boost to the closing series - and network - yesterday. Unfortunately, the ratings bump wasn’t enough to overtake CBS in either the viewers or demos this Thursday.

• My Name is Earl (7 million, 2.8/8) improved by 400,000; Kath & Kim (5.1 million, 2.1/5)  fell by a 1/2 million.
