Movie Reviews of Emergency! Season One
Movie Review: 5 Alarm Rescue From Ho Hum TV Today
Summary: 5 Stars
EMERGENCY was unlike any hospital etc. shows before. You were given before, during and after of patients hospital care. You were treated to the suspense of the rescues and transports to the hospital. You were given background to Station House 51 and its crews as well as the doctor's and nurses at Rampart General Hospital. In this first season you'll see the rookies beginning their careers as firemen, and you get to see the trials of starting the paramedic program in L.A. County. You also get to see how Gage and DeSoto and others meet those trials and challenges to cement the paramedic program in place for the county. The actors in this show were a mix of veterans and new-comers to us, and their talents blended for great entertainment. Don't pass up on this season or the following seasons on DVD.Movie Review: Still a Great Show!
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched Emergency faithfully as a young kid and thought it would have lost some of its magic by now. But no, it's still great! Watching it from an adult perspective is a whole new experience. Some of the rescues are amazing even by today's standards. Real edge-of-the-seat stuff. And to have all of these episodes commercial-free, uncut and in sequence is priceless!
There have been some complaints about the quality of these DVDs. I was hesitant to buy Season 1 but took the leap anyway (after going for Season 2 first). I've run through each episode completely and the DVDs in my particular Season 1 set have been fine -- no freezing or skipping problems.
I highly recommend Season 2, also. The characters are a bit more developed and Captain Stanley arrives on the scene.
Movie Review: It's about time!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I, too, remember this show from my childhood and can be counted with the other women that fell in love with John Gage/Randolph Mantooth. I suppose the special effects, stunts, etc. could be considered kind of "dated" compared to today's high-tech, high-budget programming but there's a major difference with this show from much of today's drivel -- this show had a REAL plot, with BELIEVABLE characters and was presented in a respectful and wholesome manner!!
I never missed an episode of this show as a kid and found that enthusiasm transferring over into my adult life. This show was directly responsible for me choosing Emergency Medicine as my life's work.
It's about time this series receives the respect it deserves by being released onto DVD!!
Movie Review: One of the greatest medical shows!
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember watching "Emergency!" when I was a little kid. When it resurfaced on TV Land in the late 90s, I started taping as many episodes as I could. But now that its going to be released on DVD, I am SO excited. This show had everything. Sure its a drama show, but there were some humorous moments in just about every episode. My favorite character for sure has to be John Gage played by Randolph Mantooth. The excitement never stops from start to finish. This show was the reason there was a surge in the number of people who wanted to become either a firefighter or a paramedic. Paramedics especially got recognition for their work from this show. I absolutely recommand this series as a keepsake DVD collection. It's timeless!Movie Review: Emergency Scored With Me
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a teenager when the series first aired in the 70's, I became "hooked" as quite a few of my friends were in becoming involved in the local volunteer fire/rescue service in my hometown. By watching the show, it made my interest & desire to become involved in this type of work grow. As of today - thanks to Emergency! - I am (& continue to be)a volunteer Paramedic/Firefighter for over 20 years & have been in the career service as the same for about 8 years. Although a lot of the things they did & the lingo they used has changed - the interest they sparked in myself and others is priceless. I have been waiting for this set (& hopefully others to come!) for a long time. Thanks Jack Webb & thank you Emergency!
