Title: Emergency...Classic Disaster TV
Review: Of all the TV shows I watched as a kid, Emergency holds a special place in my TV memory banks. Disasters, accidents, mishaps, and the familiar 'Rampart 51' charactgerized the whole series for me. By the time season four aired, I had moved onto the Six Million Dollar Man, and beyond.Watching the 21 episodes of this ground breaking series for the first time, I realized why I do not appreciate the graphic medical effects of todays' productions. The real stars of the show are not the special effects team, but rather Gage, DeSoto, Nurse McCall, and their developed skills. That is the way a show should be.Build a following based on good scripts, a good cast, and competent set design. Season Four is perhaps the most polished of the series, with all cast members comfortable and adjusted to each others' idiosyncracies.Sit down, plug it in, and get ready for 'Rampart 51'!Tim Lasiuta
