Movie Reviews of Emergency - Season Three

Movie Review: Very good show; prints could've been better
Summary: 3 Stars

I watched the show and even had a web site concerning the show and its impact on EMS. There is so much we take for granted. Who had the first paramedic squad in service is unknown (Pittsburgh? Miami? Atlanta (private firm)? This is in dispute. What is not disputable is the impact "Emergency!" had on ambulances and prehospital care. I grew up in a suburb of Macon GA where we had no real fire protection until February 1975. It was the late Seventies before we had paramedics and another few years before they were dispersed around the community.

I loved the DVD but felt some effort from MCA was needed to get away from the poor quality prints that some hucksters imbedded with the Season 5 theme song. Regardless I thought the show was wonderful and the producers had a good way of making even Mike Morton, the grumpy intern, look like a protagonist. As a kid I loved all of those characters.

I will likely advise Universal to come out with a special edition DVD. In it we would hear commentary from the remaining actors, production staff (Hannah Shearer, Ed Self)and principals in creating paramedic programs (J. Michael Criley MD, Eugene Nagel, MD, and the first paramedics in the US wherever they may be). Sadly some greats left us. These include producer RA Cinader, Jack Webb, Battalion Chief Jim Page, LA County Fire Department PIO Dick Friend, Walter Graf, MD, Peter Safar MD (principal in developing CPR), and Kenneth Hahn of the LA County Board of Supervisors). We need not procrastinate in capturing the memories, faces and voices of those who made it all happen. I would be perfectly open to some genuine footage from the early years of paramedic programs. Oh and don't forget the blooper tape made by the producers.

Summary of Emergency - Season Three

Follows the daily lives of the paramedics of Squad 51 as they help the victims of accidents in Los Angeles.
Genre: Television
Rating: NR
Release Date: 13-FEB-2007
Media Type: DVD

More medical drama and firefighting adventures await the Emergency! fan in this multi-disc set, which compiles all 22 episodes of the action series' 1973-74 season. Story-wise, there's not much change at either Rescue Squad 51's headquarters, which housed Roy DeSoto (Randolph Mantooth) and John Gage (Kevin Tighe), or at Rampart Hospital (home to doctors Robert Fuller and Bobby Troup and head nurse Julie London), though Roy must decide whether to become an engineer or stay with the paramedics in "The Promotion" (Episode 7), and Troup's Dr. Joe Early discovers he has a heart condition in "The Hard Hours" (Episode 19). But story arcs and character change wasn't the fuel that drove Emergency!; it was the rescues, and naturally, there are plenty to be found here, from a motorcycle gang war (season opener "Frequency"), a rocker in a diabetic coma (Episode 4, "An English Visitor") and a singer who suffers a heart attack (Episode 12, "Body Language") to a footballer (Dick Butkus) who is tackled too roughly by his own son ("The Hard Hours") and a magician who locks himself in a safe (Episode 14, "Computer Error"). Guest stars rescued and treated by the regulars this season include a youthful Nick Nolte, Mariette Hartley, Happy Days' Donny Most, and '60s heartthrob Bobby Sherman. Unfortunately, as with previous Emergency! DVD releases, there are no extras, though the episodes are spread across five single-sided discs rather than on double-sided discs. -- Paul Gaita
