I mean, it’s only two letters long, and thus can’t be searched for under the parameters of the search engine. I’d like to know what the people here think of what happens on the show, if only for enjoyment of their opinions.

You search for other terms that you think will be present in threads discussing ER.

Use BoardReader and include “ER” and “sdmb” in your search terms. You’ll probably also have to narrow it down some from there.

Search for character or actor names that are specific to the show (Noah Wyle, Luka, Visnjic, etc.).
