E.R.

The first one was a 1980s half hour sitcom set in a hospital emergency room starring Elliott Gould and some guy named George Clooney as doctors. It was cancelled after one season.

The second was a hugely successful 90s one hour drama set in a fictional Chicago hospital in which George Clooney was also one of the cast members and he again played a doctor. This is the role that finally made him a huge breakout "star".

Now that I think about it George Clooney's the only actor I can think of that starred in two different TV shows with the same title. Does anybody know if there's anybody else that's done that? I can't think of anyone.

Another unique thing is that one show was a sitcom and the other was a drama.

Also, during the drama versions first season, Clooney and Wyle appeared in their E.R. roles in an episode of Friends, which also was in its first season. So Clooney played both roles on a sitcom!

What made no sense about this is that her character had gone into witness protection on SVU and had only resurfaced once in a later episode to testify in a trial.

I think they either ignored the SVU witness protection thing or just dismissed it.
