LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- After saving thousands of TV lives, there'll be no resuscitation for "ER."

The 15-season medical drama will breathe its last breath on March 12, 2009, Access Hollywood has learned.

NBC will replace it with "Kings," a much-anticipated series chronicling the life of King David in modern times, starting March 19.

As for the rest of the schedule, "Heroes" will launch its next installment, "Fugitives," on February 2, which also marks the return of supernatural drama "Medium." And "The Office" will get a Super-sized return on February 1, when it airs a one-hour episode following the Super Bowl. "Life" and "Chuck" will also be back.

A pair of previously announced mid-season series -- an untitled Amy Poehler show from the makers of "The Office" and "The Philanthropist" -- have yet to be announced.

However, "Knight Rider" won't drive out its full season, ending early at 17 episodes and wrapping up with a February 25 season finale.

    I'm gonna miss ER also it was good with George Clooney but now that John Stamos is on it I don't want it to go. If I had to go to the ER I would want him to be my Dr and I want to know what's going to happen with him and sam, not to mention neela and Ray the only other thing that I watch on NBC is Law & Order:SVU and I agree with 24Gordonfan that they should get ri
