My babysitter used to watch that show all the time. I hated it with a passion. Mostly because it wasn't Bugs Bunny.

i had a crush on her when i was around 10, lol Julie London

The show was called- "EMERGENCY 51". I know it because I loved that show so much in my childhood, that I had the Dodge emergency rescue truck and the two action figures from the show. It stared Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe. This show, along with "SWAT" were two of my favorites back in the seventies.

Ahh, memories of a time when there wasn't a care in the world.

the squad had a big block in it too.

my73charger · December 31, 2005, 11:13:59 AM

I watched the original Gone in 60 Seconds last night on Speed Channel. Flimed in 1974...lots of nice cars make an appearance in that show. Kind of an ugly baby poop yellow 73 mustang is the star but it is still fun to watch.

Me too!! My brother & I were glued to the TV for every episode. That's cool that they've got it out on DVD now, I'm definitely gonna have to snag that too.

When is the Six Million Dollar Man & Wonder Woman coming out?

derailed · December 31, 2005, 11:48:52 AM

How about Ponch and John, there was alot of old musclecars in that show usually in the middle of some 15 car pile up on I 10 caused by somones puppy dog getting loose off its leash but it was still one of my favorites. I heard there remaking another Chips movie sometime in the near future

Charger_Fan · December 31, 2005, 12:32:05 PM

Geez, how could I forget about Chips? That was a favorite too.

Baracda · December 31, 2005, 01:58:09 PM

Way back when I was with my family at Universal Studios on a tour and they were filiming Emergency nearby. They had run out of standins and they pulled several of the grown men including my dad right out of the tour, dressed them in CHP uniforms and put them in one of the episodes!

Todd Wilson · December 31, 2005, 03:28:47 PM

Being that I am a packrat and have about 99% of the toys I had as a kid anyone remember this hotwheel? This is my Squad51 truck from back in the day. I had a bigger plastic truck that the side sides opened and it was a cb radio that ran on batteries. I cant seem to find it now but it would have been nice to have as a collectible now I bet.

Anyone remeber the ViewMaster? I have a set of Emergency disks for it from back in the day! I even have a Emergency metal lunch box!

I loved that show! I wish they would put it back on nick tv like it was a few years ago.

Todd

TruckDriver · December 31, 2005, 03:29:46 PM

When I watch the re-runs now, there is one thing that I see that is just wrong about the show. In about 90% of all the episodes, when they go to a fire call where there is actually a fire. They wear the fire jacket, but rarely ever have any fire pants or boots on, just the regular jeans and shoes.

Or wasn't it a regulation to wear them back then? I would think it was though.

TruckDriver · December 31, 2005, 03:31:05 PM

I had the red one, and the white one, and the green forest ranger one too Todd.

Todd Wilson · December 31, 2005, 03:39:19 PM

OK 51 freaks! Here it is! I had to dig it out of the closet!! I told you I am a packrat! Theres been a lot of sandwichs and chips carried in this old unit!

Bluebeast · December 31, 2005, 03:42:36 PM

I used to watch that show as a kid. I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, that the show Adam 12 came on right before or right after it. Another great show! While we're on the subject, I was talking to a friend the other day about how at 2:00 AM the Star Spangled Banner would play and the screen would go to snow until 6:00AM. Now, there is programming 24/7!

Emergency was a spin off of Adam 12. I even remember, there was at least 1 Emergency show with the main guys from Adam 12 on.

I did a ebay search and came up with this stuff....

That lunchbox is pretty cool, Todd. It's amazing the handle is still there, mine always broke.

I had one of those Hotwheel trucks when I was a kid, no idea what became of it.

Afflyer · December 31, 2005, 06:06:02 PM

Wonder what that lunchbox would fetch on E-Gouge?

mopar_madman · December 31, 2005, 07:21:06 PM

Yeah I had the lunchbox and the action figures. I did see the adam 12 guys on one of the early episodes I was watching. Used to watch those swat and the rookies. Great old 70's shows.

Todd Wilson · December 31, 2005, 07:22:02 PM

I had one of these as a kid!The side door opened to a cb radio! It was cool!
For the life of me I cannot find it or my 6 million dollar man doll!

Probably the 2 toys that are worth the most now that I had then!

I still have my matchbox truck to, I found it when i opened up my collection for my son to use and took some of them out. A couple of months ago I set up my computer so when i turn it on it plays the Emergency tones but it drove my wife crazy after a couple of days.

I came to the conclusion most of you guys are older than dirt.

Bluebeast · January 01, 2006, 04:25:10 AM

Older than dirt? If I'm not mistaken, your avatar is from one of my favorite films of all time, and it was released in the 70's!! Have you played the video game yet? I'm not really in to video games but I tried my hand at that and it was pretty fun.

greenpigs · January 01, 2006, 04:31:08 AM

Yep, I own the video game and directors cut of the movie. I didn't go see the movie as I was 7 when it came out.

Bluebeast · January 01, 2006, 04:36:28 AM

Well, I was nine when it came out so I guess we aren't that far apart. Anyway, I have not seen the director's cut but I heard that diehard fans of the movie didn't like it because of the cartoon segues. What do you think of it?

TruckDriver · January 01, 2006, 09:03:58 AM

Thta's a movie? New one to me and I'm getting to the point of dirt

694spdRT · January 01, 2006, 11:53:06 AM

That was a great show. The coolest thing is that the original rescue truck is still around after all these years.

BB1 · January 01, 2006, 12:55:39 PM

* Dr. Bracket* 51, start an IV push and administer 33mg lactate ringers, transport as soon as possible.

*Johnny* Roger Rampart, *RAMPART!!* He's going going into B-fib, sending new strip,... Rampart losing vital signs. Rampart permission to use defibrillator.

* Dr Bracket* Permission granted.

*Johnny* Rampart pulse is shallow vitals signs returning, transport has arrived, ETA 10 min kmg-365.

And I haven't seen it in 20 years.

Great show. Also watched "CHiPs" all the time.

If I remember right, the Emergency truck was on "CHiPs" often when there was an accident.

Anyone anyone.....

I like the extras..like a few of the characters,Ajax,Swan,Cochise-sic and the punks leader comments. The cartoon cuts take away from the "edge". How tough is a guy that turns into a cartoon?

The video game is GREAT and worth the $...I can give you a link to the cheat codes if you would like.
