Review: |
Before "ER", "Emergency" was the
most realistic evening TV medical drama on TV. We live in
a different more jaded world now so if you're new to this
series and find it a bit naive keep in mind this fine TV show
was created and produced 33 years ago. We get the first season
(which was brief only 11 episodes) including the two part
pilot episode. If you're a fan of this TV series that ran
for 5 years on NBC, get to your local DVD dealer stat! Paramedics
Gage and DeSoto are back in gear and ready to go in this two
disc set. ---

| Image
and Sound: |
A very nice
transfer from Universal. Fine line detail is pretty decent in
many of these episodes and the colors remain vivid as ever.
Blacks are solid if not spectacular and although there is occasional
video noise, it's pretty minimal. The mono soundtrack has its
limitations but doesn't prevent you from enjoying the drama
of the show or following the plot. |

Words: |
Fans will
be happy to see this series finally on DVD. While I do wish
that Universal had sprung for some extras with this series,
it's nice to have the show sans commercial interruptions. Image
quality is pretty good overall. |
