What is a "Carter Moment?"
Well, just think about it. John Carter is known for his clumsiness and always seems to be getting hurt or embarassed. Sssooo... many Carter fans have come to call their own clumsy times "Carter Moments." Here is a list of times Carter has managed to embarass or hurt himself.. awww.. the poor guy. Well, I guess that's why we love him *g*
If you know of a Carter Moment not listed here (and I know there are plenty more) just e-mail me and I'll give you credit.

"Into That Good Night"
~~ Not a very typical Carter Moment, he believes he contracted an STD from "Liz." Oh joy.
"Blizzard"
~~ Ok.. this one wasn't really his fault, but it was still hilarious. Big bad Mark and Susan cure their boredom by putting Carter's leg in a plaster cast...and yes, he falls down quite a few times. Sigh.. and he even wears it through a trauma.
"Luck of the Draw"
~~ Fellow med student "Deb" Chen shocks him with the paddles and he hits his head while falling down. Then Haleh and Deb are mean to him later.. poor guy.
Season Two
"Welcome back, Carter"
~~ And what a welcome it was. Our boy passes out during a rather fruitless attempt at saving a bleeding patient.
What? is that it from season two? Come on people there has to be more.. this is Carter we're talking about!
Season Three
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
~~ Oh man! Gant helps Carter take a shot of compazine and his face and mouth seize up.. so typical. hehe..
"No Brain No Gain"
~~ Carter gets punched. Yup, that's about it.
"Who's Appy Now"
~~ While at target practice (???) with Maggie Doyle, Carter discovers that Maggie..uh.. swings the other way.. and ends up shooting an exit sign.
"Make A Wish"
~~ Carter literally eyeballs some pepper spray.. and let's just say it stung a little. (He should have saved that to use on Paul Sobriki. Dang.)
Season Four
"Carter's Choice"
~~ The most typical Carter Moment. Probably because it happens the most. And it's just soooo Carter.. anyway. . he's on his way to breakfast and he slips on the floor. (Was there a 'wet floor' sign up or what?!)
"Exodus" ~~ I know what you're thinking. Where's the CM in this eppy? Well.... it was basically a CM-free episode.. but what about the look on his face when they took off his clothes and put him in the shower?! That look is a CM itself! (or maybe I just like him in his undies?)
Season Five
"The Good Fight"
~~ Trying to be heroic, Carter roams around Chicago with Lucy only to fall off a fence and dislocate his shoulder. Oh yeah, he also got punched and shoved into a wall by a big mean man. *g*
"The Storm"
~~ Good timing. Carter walks into a room right when Lucy decides to practice tae bo.. and the lucky guy goes flying across the room. No broken ribs.. but he needed a couple stitches (and something else) from Lucy.
Season Six
"Truth and Consequences"
~~ Dr. Klutz gets thrown through a glass panel.. window.. door.. I dunno, something with glass *g* .. anyway, he gets thrown thru some glass but gets up without a scratch on him. I guess he's getting used to it.
"Humpty Dumpty"
~~ Another pure Carterish display in this eppy. After donating blood, he knocks over an entire tray of supplies off of a cart.. he should just take Kerry's advice and "go get some orange juice and cookies."
"Family Matters"
~~Here, he gets wrestled to the floor by some psycho lady with body lice. Woo hoo!
"The Domino Heart"
~~ Another day, another slip on the floor. Oh yeah.. he also ran out of the port-o-let with toilet paper on his foot after Deb and Chuny played a joke on him. (and proceeded to fall on the floor... again.)
"Be Still My Heart"
~~ Do I even have to mention what happens here? Let's just say it involves a blue cake, a big knife, and a crazy guy with a new yawk accent.
"All in the Family"
~~ NNNNNNOOOOO!!!!! NOT THE FOLEY!!!!!!
"Be Patient"
~~ Nahhh.. he wasn't very patient when he banged his wheelchair into the door a few times.. and he was in so much pain..
"May Day"
~~ His back is killing him but he still does a hip reduction.. tsk tsk.. yup, he gets thrown off and crashes into a gurney. OUCH! Now if only he can kick that bad habit...
