I am fascinated what WeTV edits out of their L&O reruns. They take out words that were fine for broadcast TV!
And sadly, Cozi does edit Emergency! I watched an episode, and the credits mentioned Dick van Patten was in it. Well, not the one I watched! His whole rescue was cut. Thank goodness I have the DVDs.
Highly recommended for any fans of the show!
If that butt is just pale enough, and the light hits it just right …
That was funny.
I like the crossover with Adam12. Those are always good episodes.
And, the firehouse dog situation was always a great ongoing cute part.
I’m watching on FETA
The fellow who played “Marco,” was on Adam-12 a few times and one time the guys at Station 51 were watching an A-12 episode and Marco rolls up on a motorcycle to help Reed and Malloy and no one says anything.
I’m pretty sure Mantooth and Tighe had to take real life paramedic training for the show.
Those were all Jack Webb series, weren’t they? Webb was always serious about authenticity and using real cases all the way back to Dragnet.
The end credits say the shows particulars were taken from real events.
Great video! The firehouse in Chicago Fire uses the same number as the Emergency firehouse - 51.
By 1972, the expectation of advanced-level care on the streets and in the homes of Americans grew, fueled by the iconic TV show Emergency!, which portrayed paramedics providing care in an advanced manner never before seen, now watched by millions every Saturday night. For more than five years, America watched Johnny and Roy swoop in to save lives and help those in distress.
Although just a TV show, Emergency! set a standard expectation for the public and served as a catalyst for many to pursue careers in EMS.
Well, some channels/stations have interns to keep busy.
Hey, Beck, you want real life strobe-effect-could-cause-a-seizure? There’s a US road near my home where the trees come right up to both shoulders and at a certain time of day the sunshine flitting through the trees feels like it’s going to trigger a fit.
I like to see the shows how they were presented when new.
But the strobe light show just shocked me.
I was looking down at my phone and saw a blink. Thinking something interesting was happening on the TV I looked up.
It kinda burned my brain.
It lasted, maybe 2 minutes. I was rubbing with the remote trying to turn it off. It was over before I could.
I’ll be right down. Is your guest room ready? Clean sheets?
What’s for dinner?
(We wouldn’t be what we are without the nitpicks)
California isn’t an OSHA state: they use a state-managed, OSHA-approved system.
Depends what the diner up the road is serving that day. But you won’t be disappointed with whatever you choose.
That’s Steffens diner on US17 in Kingsland, Georgia. Be there. Aloha!
Well, that’s gonna be a lot tougher to fit on the lunchbox.
They don’t carry them. You’re the lunch.
A long time ago, I had a job transferring documents onto microfilm at an insurance company. One of my fellow workers was put into a catatonic state by the light on the camera blinking as he fed the papers into the machine.
Hah, there’s a strip on a road just three kilometers from my home I often drive where that’s the case, too. Every time I pass by when the sun-light strobes through the trees, I’m glad I’m not epileptic.
