As with previous seasons Jack Webb's "Emergency!" manages
to pack plenty good natured action into a full season of
wholesome entertainment. While the show may lack the melodramatic
quality of "ER", the retro charm of the series continues
to resonate. Fans will be pleased with the set here although
once again Universal has let us down with a lack of special
features. ***
As fans know the show focuses on paramedics Johnny
Gage (Randolph Mantooth) and Roy DeSoto (Kevin Tighe) who
work out of Station 51. Their interaction with the hospital
staff including Dr. Early (Bobby Troup) and Dr. Brackett
(Robert Fuller) is interesting. ---
Image & Sound:
As with the previous seasons the show looks pretty decent
with nice colors (although they have faded somewhat) and
remarkably good clarity considering the age of the show.
There are occasional bits of dirt and debris that pop up
but overall the series looks quite nice. Sound is equally
as nice with the original mono mix intact. Dialogue comes
through crisp and clean. ---
