Movie Reviews of Emergency! Season One
Movie Review: Who knew that a TV show could have such influence upon so many individuals...
Summary: 5 Stars
Ask any EMT, Paramedic, Firefighter, Nurse, Physician, etc. in their mid-to-late 30's what the biggest influence was for their entering their chosen profession. Chances are, you will hear "That old TV show, Emergency! (or, Emergency One!)". For me, it was a direct influence upon my entering the healthcare field. Originally, I wanted to be a paramedic "just like Johnny and Roy", but eventually I decided to follow in Dixie's footsteps and enter the nursing profession. And to this day, items from this show *still* have some influence upon my actions. C'mon, all you nurses and paramedics out there, admit it: Haven't you at least **ONCE** flicked the top off of a medication vial just like Johnny does in the opening credits? Or squirted out excess fluid from a syringe (large, assembled syringe, a la D50 or Bicarb), like Roy did...?
When I grew up, I wanted to be just like my heroes on Emergency, working in the medical field, helping people, and saving lives. Well, Johnny, Roy, Dixie, Dr. Brackett, and Dr. Early, I got my wish! See you at the Emergency Room, guys! Rampart out!
Movie Review: EMERGENCY...one of the best!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so happy to finally see Emergency released on DVD.
Believe me, I have e-mailed Universal plenty of times requesting
they release this great series.
Not too many tv shows can make the claim of influencing something as important as Emergency did. I don't know a firefighter who has not watched this show, or was influenced by
it to become a paramedic or firefighter.
I too wish Universal would do the discs single sided and extra's
would be great, but the clarity was good, compared to the recorded tapes we had from tvland.
It's great to watch these with no commercials, and also seeing
that extra 6 minutes that tvland cut out for their commercials.
Can't wait for Season 2 to come out.
As for the double sided discs, why not e-mail Universal and let
them know what you want on Season 2, I sure am going to.
This cast was great, and got better and better with each season,
and as most of those who have admitted it, I too loved Johnny
Gage, and the rest of the them were not too bad either.
Movie Review: Welcome Back, Johnny & Roy
Summary: 5 Stars
Thanks Universal, you've made me happy. It's a crying shame this is no longer showing on TV Land or any other network. This was my favorite Saturday night show, which came on right after Hee Haw. I am sad to know that Julie London and husband Bobby Troup (of Route 66 fame) are no longer with us.
I was so inspired by the show's preparedness spirit, that, to this day, I keep a first aid kit in a tackle box, similar to what they used. While a drama, there was still plenty of action, and hardly ever a boring moment. Compare that to most any show today, and there's just no way to beat Emergency!
Having this first installment of the series, will allow my kids to see just what basically started the whole paramedic/EMT thing in the first place. This was a show like no other.
I'm also buying Dragnet 1967, because there will never again be a brilliant mind quite like that of Jack Webb. "Just the facts, ma'am"
Thanks again Universal, and keep more of it coming ! KMG-365 Clear
Movie Review: DVD QUALITY EXCELLENT
Summary: 5 Stars
one thing about universal. when they put out a series. they make sure you get the best quality in an old series. emergency still needs improvement in the acting skills of none cast members. a few episodes i saw. were too unreal. like people are going to act that way in real life. the original cast of the show did a good job and were serious at what they did. i also noticed some scenes. were someone got hurt. john and roy came to the rescue. to help them out. but never seen them taken to the hospital. now we got to wait a year before season 2 comes out. then maybe every 6 months. after that. there are 7 seasons. so by 2008. this series should be complete. the next season should come out in july, the 3rd season december, 4th season may of 2007, 5th season november, 6th season may of 2008 and the 7th season in october. the way that universal release shows so slow. cause it takes time in putting good quality in the shows. otherwise you get sloopy video and audio quality.Movie Review: Sgt Nick

Emergency Season #1 Fantastic product. I used to love wathing these good clean fun shows with my daughter and now I'm watching them with my granddaughters! Just like Adam-12 (which I would love to see a Seaond #2) of those, it's good clean family entertainment. I have also purchased the 1st season of CHP's! What great memories they hold. We have had a lot of fun with this one too. I plan on buying all of them as soon as I can. As a retired police sergeant of nearly 30 years, I really appreciate a show where there is no swearing or gushing bloody scenes for the kids to see. There is no "oh honey, close your eyes" parts! Thanks for producing a great product and I wish they would continue the Adam-12 series. That is what made me get into police work when I got back from Vietnam. Now many people know that in CHP's, Larry Wilcox is a Vietnam Vet. He spent 13 months in Vietnam with the USMC as an Artillaryman. God Bless him and all our vets and cops out there!!!
