Emergency! was a popular 70's television show based on the beginning years of the Paramedic Program in Los Angeles County. The series had two main locations: Fire Station 51 and the ER at Rampart Hospital. Paramedics Johnny Gage and Roy DeSoto were in the lead on Squad 51, with Drs. Brackett, Early and Morton - along with the help of head nurse Dixie McCall - at Rampart. The series opened with a 2-hour pilot movie in 1971 and was a series from 1972 to 1977 on NBC. It had six seasons of regular episodes and many festive two-hour movie specials that followed. The series ended in 1978 with a final two-hour episode where Johhny and Roy were promoted to Captain. |
