Rescue 77

It wasn't to bad saw the one about the bride and groom that had an accident and they had to decide to let him go. I had a good cry. It is sort of like a cheap version of Third watch. It is like nothing is new. they just recycle concepts and try to make them better.

This is the best television series featuring EMS/Paramedics since "Emergency" in the early 1970s. There is undoubtedly someone behind the scenes who has a working knowledge of Paramedicine, and the day-to-day hazards of the job. Moreover, this understanding comes across the screen as a story that is believeable. Statements in the pilot episode: "It's a dead end job for kids", and "we've been around for thirty years, but are still not recognized in the halls" could only have been written by someone who has been in the profession themselves. Better-than-average acting, dead-on plot situations, and good story lines (a little grandiose at times) make this a great show. An "8" on my 1-10 scale.

This show was widely advertised before its final release on Monday night. This show really sucks, it's boring and unrealistic. Aaron spelling tries using cute actors and actresses, in order to lure young viewers to watch his show. But this time, it's not working as it has for his other shows. The scripts for the show are very poorly written. The actors themselves are not very good either.The show is just an unrealistic portrayal of firefighters running about unrealistically to save lives. This show has generally been one of the most disappointing shows on the WB this season.

Have you noticed that WB seems to axe any show that seems to be doing well? this, Brats of the lost nebula, Birds Of Prey - all yanked prematurely(BOP was in the top 5 when it was pulled and replaced with a lesser program). -------------- EMERGENCY this was not - it was not SUPPOSED to be. Unlike Emergency where everybody lived happily ever after, RESCUE 77 seemed to stick more closely to actual conditions and day to day stuff. The inventiveness in saving a life when you do not have what you need, the pain when despite your best efforts the one you are trying to save dies, and yes - even the pranks and jokes that go on in a firehouse(I know - I grew up in one).

But at least i can watch it on tape, so SMEG OFF Warner Brothers! :P

I remember being a big TV fan of the 1972-77 show, "Emergency," with the crew of Los Angeles County Fire Dept Station 51 and Rampart Hospital. "Rescue 77" is the next generation of that classic TV series. This new TV show depicts a modern-day Fire Dept station equip with the latest technology and three young, enthusiastic paramedic team doing heart-pounding rescue stunts and saving lives. A long time ago, I had a thought that someday a Producer will create a TV series after "Emergency." And WAH-LA...here it is...."Rescue 77." In fact, I like the idea to see a female crew member in the Fire Dept for a change especially if she's outgoing, cute blonde with a deep voice.
