I just got the "Emergency!" Season One DVDs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Enraged_Ape]

Words cannot express my excitement at this. This was the TV show that inspired not only me, but countless others, to go into the healthcare/medical/firefighting/rescue fields. It was the first and best of any of the "ER"-type shows.



For the next 11 hours, I don't care what Bush / Cheney / Condi / Rumsfeld / Wolfowitz do to this country or the world. I don't care how my life is most likely completely $crewed thanks to the evil f---s in the White House. For the next 11 hours, firefighter/paramedics Johnny Gage and Roy DeSoto are saving people's lives!! And that really is what it's all about!

1. I had such a crush on both of them when I was a kid.

Damn, the nostalgia is killing me today! I had no idea this was out on DVD. Thanks for the head's up.

[Enraged_Ape]

10. Randy Mantooth and Kevin Tighe were, let's face it, FINE!!

And I'm saying this as a 100% heterosexual male. Even I know that those two were the height of coolness.

13. LMAO!

[WI_DEM]

I liked that show as a kid

It was another creation of Jack (Sgt. Friday) Webb.

2. I loved that show as a kid

:thumbsup:

3. I had the hugest crush on Johnny Gage when I was a kid

And I am a huge of Nurse Dixie/Julie London now. :)

[Enraged_Ape]

4. Nurse Dixie was hot, HOT!!!

Her kind of sexiness you just can't fake.

[progmom]

5. ...

[Enraged_Ape]

8. Dang!!

That is one hot (very un-Nurse-Dixie-like) pic!!

[progmom]

9. she had a long music career before she was Nurse Dixie

As did her husband Bobby Troup/Dr. Joe Early. Did you know that he wrote "Route 66"?

[Enraged_Ape]

11. I love that song!

An even more amazing bit of trivia is that Ms. London was co-producer Jack Webb's ex-wife! Yes, Mr. "Joe Friday" Webb actually cast not only his ex-wife, but her new husband in his TV show! That takes a special kind of coolness.

[progmom]

12. yep. seems that you know your Julie London esoterica too.

;)

[mitchum]

15. Hell, I didn't know that...

about Webb being her ex-husband. I did always imagine that she was probably throwback Jack's ideal dame....because she was one FINE looking woman. Pity about her singing, though...:)

[progmom]

17. i loooooove her singing.

:hi:

[Zomby Woof]

6. That was a great show!

One the first I remember watching. Enjoy!

7. I love this show

I gotta pick up this DVD. :)

[Dukkha]

14. oooooh uuuuuh AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

in the movie Indecent Proposal Robert Redford's character was named after John Gage

[underpants]

16. Count the number of "IV's with Ringer's Lactate" they give

and check out the smoking IN the hospital.

[Enraged_Ape]

18. I seem to recall Dr. Early lightin' up a couple of ciggies

Hope they were at least menthols.

[wellstone dem]

19. I loved this show

I am so jealous. I had such a crush on randolph mantooth. I was a teenager, but my younger brother (6 years younger) would yell "emergency" "emergency" when it came on. He bought me a toy "emergency" helmet for my birthday.

[Enraged_Ape]

20. The first time I saw John Gage flip the syringe caps off...

with his thumbs, I thought, "That is just about the coolest thing you could ever do."

21. Rampart! Rampart!

Man, I've gotta get that.
