Title: show 5 stars, subtitles 3 stars
Product review: Emergency! is still a great show, but I find myself wishing mightily for extras. I ended up consoling myself with a book,Emergency!: Behind the Scene, instead. The masters used for copying these shows showed their age in some episodes as well.It's clear that subtitles were done by different people, and, frankly, some of them weren't any good. Subtitles on specialty shows, like medicine and, presumably, law, can be hit-or-miss, and many of these are a miss. Good captioners/subtitlers exist for these, and some are here. Another, however, is terrible and simply invents things when he or she doesn't understand the dialogue. This leads to some amusing substitutions, such as "sinkable" for "syncopal." Closed captions are not included with any Universal DVD properties that I'm aware of, so good subtitles are doubly important.
