Emergency! still holds up, but I can imagine what it would be like today.

No need to imagine:

Rescue Me (American TV series)

Here’s a thread about the show:

Sell me on: "Rescue Me"

Rescue Me starts up again tonight. I’ve never seen an episode of this, mainly because I find the guy who plays the lead to be as irriatating as fingernails on a blackboard. But… I really liked Nip/Tuck, the other summer replacement for The Shield, so maybe I should be a bit more open minded. Anyone want to weigh in either for or against Rescue Me? It sure does get rave reviews.
