I haven't watched ER since circa 1995, however, I did actually watch the series finale last night. Why you say? One last opportunity to see my main man George Clooney? (SPOILER ALERT! - didn't happen)...the last hurrah of John Stamos?...Hoping they bring back Anthony Edwards from the dead for a saaaaaweeeeet high five?...
No, nope, nah...the real reason was for hopes of them showing Eriq La Salle's executing of one of the greatest TV fistpumps of all time (at the 30 second mark in ER's opening credits above).
How did they go about coming up with that in 1994, though? Were they just like...uhhh ok, Eriq, look we need to film an opening credits scene for you...I think we have enough shots of Julianna Marguilies looking intense pushing a hospital bed around...ummmm why don't you just randomly walk down the middle of a hospital aisle and just unleash a monster fistpump! The rest, my friends, is history.

Pumps of that nature shall from this moment forward be known as "La Salles" or "eriQs"
I second that motion...I can't believe that pump was overlooked for the Top 10
