Movie Reviews of Emergency! Season Two
Movie Review: One of the 70's best action shows at its peak
Summary: 5 Stars
Emergency!, the action show about firemen/paramedics which starred Robert Fuller (formerly of Wagon Train), Julie London, Bobby Troup (author of the song ''Route 66''), Kevin Tighe and Randolph Mantooth debuted in January, 1972 and had its share of kinks. The characters were sometimes too stiff and the scripts too one-dimensional. So in Season 1, you get your share of classic episodes like ''Botulism'' (which deals with food poisoning and a race to save the victims) and ''Brushfire'' (which has some of the series' best fire scenes), but also clunkers like ''Nurses Wild'' (which wouldn't air today because of its chauvinism) and ''Weird Wednesday'' (an entertaining piece on strange things happening in one day, but a theme that wears itself out quickly).
Season 2 is much stronger and offers the following episodes:
Problem
Kids
Show Biz
Virus (one of the series' best as a deadly disease threatens the lives of both Brackett and Gage!)
Peace Pipe (one of the silliest episodes and again too politically incorrect to air today)
Saddled
Fuzz Lady
Trainee (maybe the best episode in the series as Gage and DeSoto must work with Ed Marlowe, a former Vietnam medic on an ego trip)
Women
Dinner Date
Musical Mania
Helpful
Drivers
School Days
The Professor
Syndrome
Honest
Seance
Boot
Rip-Off (an excellent piece where Johnny and Roy are accused of stealing)
Audit
As far as storylines are concerned, this is the season that introduces Captain Stanley (Mike Norell), who gradually becomes one of the stronger characters in the series. We get a ton of great guest stars like Dick Van Patten, Deidre Hall, Melissa Gilbert, Robert Pratt, Robert Alda, Charles Aidman, Jackie Coogan, Lloyd Bochner and many others as the series' TV ratings get stronger, particularly among children.
You get more episodes in this collection than Season 1 and to this point the technical difficulties which hampered the first season DVD sets appear to be resolved.
For kids, this series is a great learning device about firemen, paramedics, hospitals, rescue and safety. For adults, it's a great action show, which should bring back a lot of memories.
In all, a must-have for your video collection.
Summary of Emergency! Season Two
When lives are on the line, the Emergency! team is there and ready for action. Reunite with Squad 51 and the heroic staff of Rampart Hospital in all 21 gripping Season 2 episodes of the pioneering series that was the first to show the real-life drama of being an EMT. From mysterious widespread viruses to dangerous overdoses to a treacherous gas explosion, there's no crisis too tough for brave paramedics Roy DeSoto (Kevin Tighe) and John Gage (Randolph Mantooth). With their trademark wit and humor, they're always ready to race to the scene of LA's most dire situations. Along for the ride are some of TV's most popular stars, including Dick Van Patten, John Travolta (Welcome Back Kotter), Deidre Hall and many more. From legendary producer Jack Webb (Dragnet) comes the incredible second season of Emergency! - the TV show that broke new ground for all action series to come.
