4.0 out of 5 stars Great Show - Disappointing DVD Release, February 16, 2007

This review is from: Emergency! Season Three (DVD)

When it was first announced that Emergency was going to be released on DVD I was very excited. I grew up on this show, and it still holds up well today. In fact, Emergency was the groundbreaker that lead directly to E.R.

I loved watching it again on TV Land, but was disappointed that they used the final season theme/credits for all episodes. It may seem like a trivial thing, but I've always loved the theme song that they used from seasons 3-5. I've been dying to hear that full theme song - with the Jazzy mid section - for over 20 years. I'm still waiting.

Universal chose not to put out the original versions of these episodes, instead using the versions given to TV Land. Now, the episodes that I've seen so far appear to be full length, but I've only watched the first two and scanned through the rest. (Update - it looks like just about all of the episodes are full length.) The decision to go with the versions that have the wrong theme song/credits is perplexing, though.

They dug deep and found the original versions from seasons 1 & 2, why couldn't they do the same with season 3?

The picture and sound quality for the Season 3 Box Set is acceptable, but not as good as seasons 1 & 2 (both of which were flawed in authoring/mastering, but had good source material). What happened? A year wait and this is the best they can do? I know these aren't the biggest sellers Universal has, but they're selling well enough to warrant releasing all seasons, so why not continue to do at least the same quality job that they did with seasons 1 & 2? It makes no sense.

The quality of the episodes of this classic show more than calls for the purchase of this box set, but it is a disappointing release, and I hope that Universal gets it right for Season 4! (Come on guys - ORIGINAL, CORRECT Theme Songs, and better picture & sound quality!)

5.0 out of 5 stars A great family show, February 9, 2007

This review is from: Emergency! Season Three (DVD)

I'm a fire captain in a major northeastern city, and Emergency! was a great influence on me as a kid. Now my children are the age of when I used to watch the show, and watching it with them is a way for me to help them understand what I do, and a show that we can all enjoy together. There are so few good shows on T.V. these days that all of us can enjoy together, and "Emergency!" in one that really brings us togther. I am surprised how much my kids love this show, but I guess I shouldn't be!

I can vividly remember watching Emergency as a kid and being in awe of the things that Gage and DeSoto were able to do as Paramedic Firefighters. Back then I could not wait for The Price is Right to be over so that Emergency would come on...
As I got older I found myself drawn to the field of Emergency Medicine and at 16 I started as a volunteer at the local ambulance squad, and at 18 became a NY State EMT. I went on to work at NYC EMS and in fact met my husband of going on 26 years while at EMT class. Without this show I would not have married my husband or had my 3 children. I am sure the creators of this show never imagined that it would have such impact of so many lives!
I have seasons 1 & 2 and preordered season 3 and as soon as it arrives my husband and I will sit down and watch it without fail...
