Ok so I'm a dork for loving such an old show(this show was out during the 1970s for 7 seasons with the series premier and season 7 being 2 hour movies), but I can't help it!!!!! Awesome show it is, focusing on the crew of Station 51 , the callouts of Squad 51, and Rampart hospital!!! If anyone is interested in it, there are some episodes on YouTube, and seasons 1-3 on nbc.com and hulu.com. TVLand used to have reruns, but they switched out the smart programmers for the stupid ones Firefighter/Paramedic John Gage is MINE!!!!! I will fight to the end and I will fight dirty to make sure paws are kept off CC ;D "Squad 51 KMG 365"

I used to watch Emergency! back when it was first aired, that's how old I am. It was a little hokey even then, but I liked it -- and so did a lot of other people, judging from the ratings. Some random factoids: Julie London (Nurse Dixie McCall) was primarily a sultry jazz singer and did acting gigs on the side. She was also married to Jack Webb (of Dragnet "Just the facts, ma'm" fame), who was the show's producer. Bobby Troup (Dr. Joe Early) was also a successful composer, although I think in his case the acting was his main gig and the music was the sideline. I'm a mild Kevin Tighe (Roy DeSoto) fan -- he mostly plays "bland nice guy" parts because of the way he looks, but I've also seen him be very convincing as a psychotic murderer.

Oops! It's a good thing I've got you guys around to correct me. Now it's going to bug me, though -- who was Jack Webb's wife? I could have sworn it was someone independently famous.

Another interesting fact- Mike Stoker (Engineer/firefighter specialist Mike Stoker) was a REAL LACoFD firefighter. Marco Lopez was an actor, but they decided to use his real name becuase it sounded more convincing to be a firefighter for some reason
