Yeah. I know. I watch stupid TV. I have a TV law enforcement question that comes from me watching Adam-12 and Emergency (I LOVE Antenna TV and the Me Too networks!) Considering that I’m someone that bases their American History knowledge on episodes of Bonanza, please excuse me if this is a stupid question.
On Adam-12, they have KMA367 (it’s a sticker) on their radio in their car - what does that mean? I assume it’s similar to when on the show Emergency, when they’re called out, the Captain says to dispatch “KMG365.”
I remember Rescue 8 from its reruns in the late 50s and early 60s. Our local TV station, channel 8, aired it; I liked that the numbers matched. It was similar to Emergency – following an ambulance around LA as they saved lives.
Channel 8 also showed The Buccaneers and Whirlybirds in syndication. All were half-hour dramatic shows.
it was a LA county rescue squad show that ran 1958 to 1960. it was before paramedics so the two guys did rescues of people in lifethreatening situations.
I was a big fan of Emergency! when I was a kid. A few years ago, I picked up the first season of the show on DVD. The pilot for the series was a crossover with Adam-12 (both shows were produced by Jack Webb), and the main plotline of the pilot was the creation of the paramedic group within the LA County fire department.
