Julianna Margulies got off easy when she filmed the series finale of ER with George Clooney , she tells Usmagazine.com.

Clooney, a notorious on-set jokester, used to prank his costars on a regular basis when he filmed the NBC drama.

"There were none," Margulies told Us. "We shot everything in two days. We had no time. He was on a film schedule. I was coming from New York and I had a baby to get back to, so there was no time for pranks."

Still, she was happy to be back on set.

"It was a lovely experience -- just going back," she said at the Young Audiences New York Children's Arts Award Benefit in NYC on Monday. "The crew -- some of them had been there since the beginning and being on the set again and working with John Wells who directed and wrote the episode we did.

"And it was like coming home. It felt really good."

Margulies starred on ER from 1994 to 2000 -- the same amount of time as Clooney -- but had trouble picking her all-time favorite episode.

"There were so many, honestly. And the sad thing is that having done the show for six years, I actually forget a lot," she told Us, laughing. "But the ones that stand out were the ones that were mostly in the beginning. There were days that we couldn't believe how lucky we were... just because it was so new and different and it was something none of us really realized until we left our little cocoon."

The finale airs in April and shows Margulies -- who plays Nurse Carol Hathaway -- and Clooney -- who plays her love interest, Dr. Doug Ross -- with twin daughters, now in the fourth grade.

"You pick up a slice of their life now," she said. "It's very satisfying."

    Great! I'm glad she got off her high horse and decided to come back! I mean, her career didn't exactly take off after she left! I loved her and George's characeters on the show and it wasn't the same after they left! ER (was) one of the best shows on TV back then! Even though it fell off, it still goes down in history as the best hospital dramas! Way better than Gre
