Customer Rating: Summary: Great show, disc errors Comment: I purchased E! Season 1 through Columbia House and have had issues with four different copies. They all break down in the middle of disc 2, side 1, episode 2 "Publicity Hound" then pick back up in the middle of episode 3 "Weird Wednesday". All of the other episodes from season 1 play just fine. I will be ordering a copy of E! Season 1 through Amazon when I order E! Season 5 in a couole of weeks. From what I have read in several comments on E! Season 1 here (disc 1 errors), I should be able to come up with a complete Season 1 by combining what I have from Columbia House and Amazon. Customer Rating: Summary: Walk down memory lane Comment: I gave this set to my Dad for his birthday. Since he is a paramedic himself he loved them. We always watched them when we were little so it was fun reliving the good old days. Good classic TV that the whole family can enjoy!!! Customer Rating: Summary: WONDERFUL !!!!!!!!!! Comment: This show is great....I use to watch it as a child and I remember the drama of the Emergencies that Desota and Gage use to go on, and it amazed me how they would always save the peoples lives on the show and never lose anyone...... It use to keep me glued to the TV set... Thanks again for bringing it to DVD, I love it....
Roanoke Va. Customer Rating: Summary: Magnificent Comment: This product was great! I just love watching Emergency, and in this one I got to see the very first Emergency ever. Also, it was nice not having to deal with any commercials. I recommend this product to anybody who loves the Emergency series because it is truly a keeper. Customer Rating: Summary: I WAS A FIREMAN Comment: I am a retired Los Angeles County Fire Captain. I was on the department when the series was being filmed. I can tell you that it is 'mostly' true to life. It has to be dramatized to tell the story. You can't see the actors if the smoke is real, so it has to be simulated, but the action of the paramedics is nearly "true to life." A lot of our own firemen were featured in the series.
Our Fire Chief, and our P.I.O., Dick Friend, saw to it that it was as near to 'real' life as possible. The driver of E-51, was a real fireman.
Being a fireman, (now firefighter,) is about the most fun one can have, and still remain clothed. The practical jokes that were played are real, the friendships are real, the "love of the job," and the personal bonds that were forged, remain forever.
This series is still being played out in REAL life, every day. Enjoy!!!
