It’s not really stupid. Warners and the Crichton estate were in talks about an ER reboot and when negotiations failed, Warner went through with the project anyway.
It will be interesting to see in the discovery phase just how much of the original project outline relates to the current show.
Even if it was the same premise they pitched them the only they they were bringing to the table was the name. The show isn't very similar to ER beyond it being an Emergency room focused medical drama. Everything that is similar to ER is also similar to every other medical show.
Honestly the show is better off not being titled ER, and the estate could have gotten an easy payday but were too greedy it seems.
Maybe if they pitched the studio let's make an ER reboot with dr. Carter running cook country general's ER and each season covers a single shift the could have a claim.
